[For Seniors] Liven Up with Group Games! Ideas for Enjoying with Around 30 People (21–30)
Balloon Popping Game
It’s a game that truly embodies the phrase “bringing everyone’s strength together.” You place an inflated balloon inside a transparent plastic tube.
Older adults use fans from below to send air upward and push the balloon out from the top of the tube.
It may look simple, but it takes some technique to move the balloon upward using only the air sent from below.
Cooperation from all participating seniors is also a key point.
The game naturally sparks conversation and helps expand social interaction.
Since it can be played while seated, many people should be able to take part.
Clothespin relay
Recreation using clothespins is highly recommended for brain training in older adults.
Clothespins let you grasp objects by pinching, and the fine, dexterous finger movements involved can be expected to have brain-training benefits.
Here’s an easy relay activity that connects to brain training using just clothespins and a towel.
Attach three clothespins to a towel in turn, and the last person removes three clothespins.
Then, continue by removing three clothespins from the towel at a time and bringing them back.
The team that clears all the clothespins from the towel first wins.
It’s a fun way to expect brain-training effects, so give it a try!
In conclusion
We’ve introduced games that can be enjoyed by large groups.
They’re all ideas you can play with everyday items, so please give them a try.
Team competitions and cooperative games spark laughter and cheers, filling the venue with energy.
We hope you enjoy these warm moments where conversations and connections naturally blossom among older adults.
