I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

Recreational time at care facilities is so much more enjoyable when you can sit face-to-face with staff and friends, isn’t it?

In this article, we introduce fun, circle-based activities that are perfect for older adults—everyone can see each other’s faces while participating!

We’ve gathered a variety of activities: ones you can do seated using simple props like balls, ones you can do around a table, and even light exercises.

Enjoy them while sharing each other’s wonderful smiles!

Balloon Ring Relay

[Top 5 Balloon Activities 🏀] The ultimate new collection of balloon games! Guaranteed fun—want to try them all!

Balloon Ring Relay

Balloons that move a lot with just a small amount of force can behave unpredictably even when you’re just carrying them sideways.

This game uses that awkwardness in a relay-style challenge where balloons are passed along in order.

Prepare ring-shaped balloons, and give each person a stick made from newspaper or a sponge.

At the starting signal, players use the sticks to pass the balloon to the next person, aiming to get all the balloons to the goal.

You can increase the difficulty—and the excitement once everyone gets used to it—by making the balloon rings smaller and the sticks longer.
