Don’t drop it! Ball Drop Game

This is fun! “Ball Drop Game”

Here’s an idea for a ball drop game that’s thrilling and exciting.

You’ll need a wire net, a large number of colored balls, and some clothes-drying poles.

First, set up the wire net in a triangular shape and insert the poles across the middle area.

Once that’s done, place the balls on top, and you’re ready to play.

Then, take turns removing one pole at a time.

Be careful not to let the balls fall.

It could be fun to discuss together which pole might be safe to pull out before making your move.

Let’s look for some fish and try catching them!

Enjoying a fishing game — Final day of the Tamagawa Gakuen Day Service Summer Festival

The fish-finding game played as a recreation activity for older adults is always a big hit.

It’s easy to enjoy not only for those who love fishing, but also for complete beginners.

The game involves placing various fish on a table and catching them with a rod.

A staff member calls out the name of a fish on the table, and the older adults look for it.

Because it requires split-second decisions, it helps develop their powers of observation.

Through this game, older adults can learn fish names, and it also serves as brain training, so it’s highly recommended.

Iki-iki Exercises: Tokyo Boogie-Woogie

[Lively Exercise with Music] Easy Rhythm Workout to 'Tokyo Boogie-Woogie'

It’s a routine designed to move and train various parts of the body in time with Shizuko Kasagi’s classic song “Tokyo Boogie-Woogie.” The key point is that the song’s tempo is light yet unhurried, so let’s proceed while carefully checking each movement.

It’s important to perform the motions accurately, but if you focus too much on that, your movements can become stiff—so enjoying the music is also essential for smooth motion.

By keeping proper sitting posture in mind as you go, you can further enhance the effectiveness of the movements.

Tossing beanbags toward the swaying basket

[Elderly Recreation] Throw beanbags aiming at a swinging basket #dayservice #recreation #rehabilitation

Here’s a fun game using beanbags.

You throw beanbags into a hanging basket—much like the ball-toss game often played at school sports days.

Many older adults are familiar with this type of game, so it should be easy to get into.

Like the traditional ball toss, the rules are simple, but this version gets progressively more difficult.

The more beanbags you throw, the more the hanging basket swings, making it harder to land your throws.

You’ll also need to watch the basket and time your throws, so it engages the brain as well.

When the basket fills up with beanbags, older participants are likely to feel a real sense of accomplishment.

Get Excited! Beanbag Toss Bingo Game

[Cheerful Recreation 🏀] An 80-year-old bends forward! Let’s do this for next week’s activity! Beanbag Bingo Game

It’s a cooperative game where everyone aims for bingo, incorporating the action of tossing beanbags.

Nine baskets are placed in the center of a seated circle, and players throw beanbags to land them on top of each basket.

If you place five or more beanbags, you clear that basket, and you work toward bingo using the baskets you’ve cleared.

In addition to adjusting the strength of each throw, be sure to focus on cooperating so your beanbags don’t collide with your teammates’.

It’s a game that lets everyone enjoy striving for a common goal while getting plenty of physical activity.

Chaotic Balloon Volleyball

It’s a game where two teams sit facing each other across a table and try to knock as many balloons as possible into the opponent’s side.

With so many balloons in play, players must fend off attacks while batting balloons away, so quick hand movements are put to the test.

During the time limit, you’re constantly chasing balloons with your hands, creating a lively atmosphere.

By eagerly reaching for the colorful balloons, the game not only trains physical movement but also offers visual enjoyment.

♪ Original Song – The Cheerful Section Chief’s Recreation – The Cheerful Section Chief’s Recreation

This is a game where you keep a balloon volleyball rally going while also keeping track of how many times you can send the balloon through a ring installed above.

By adding an extra element to the rally, players can focus more on the game, and aiming to hit the balloon upward can also help improve posture.

Quick decisions are important too—such as whether you should be the one to put the balloon through the ring or hit it to a spot that makes it easier for someone else to do so.

Splitting into teams and taking on the challenge together may also be a key point for boosting fun, as it helps teammates feel a stronger bond.
