♪ One Million “I love you” – FUKI

Using simple paper cups, the “Deliver It to You” game launches a ping-pong ball from a cup as you take aim.

The force you use to pull the balloon will change how powerfully the ball flies.

If you hit and knock something down with the ping-pong ball, you win.

You can enjoy it either standing or sitting by adjusting the angle and how you hold it.

Aim at letters you want to send a message to, or shoot at any target you like.

It’s a fun game that helps build hand strength and concentration.

10-minute morning exercise

“10-Minute Morning Exercise” Refreshing Wake-Up Routine for Seniors and Care Facilities [Day Service Exercises] by Ryusei Ishida & Grandma Tatsu

It’s hard to get your body moving in the morning, isn’t it? And everyone feels a bit groggy right after waking up.

At times like that, try some quick exercises to wake up your body and brain.

First, bring the fingertips of both hands together, then spin the opposing fingers in circles as if they’re playing tag.

Do this from the thumbs to the little fingers.

Next, move the muscles in your face, such as by opening your mouth wide.

Finally, use both your hands and feet for a full-body exercise.

If you’re an older adult, please prioritize safety and try these exercises while seated.

foot bath

[Care Facility] On this day, we provided a foot bath.

As December arrives, the winter chill really starts to set in, and the desire to warm up grows stronger, doesn’t it? A great health practice that helps you get through the cold—and is perfect for relaxation—is a foot bath.

It’s simple: just soak your feet in warm water.

Warming your feet improves circulation and helps warm your entire body.

You can enjoy it in various ways, like taking your time while chatting, or adding bath salts to enjoy the fragrance—there are plenty of versatile options.

Leg exercises with beanbags

Foot exercises with beanbags~ 🎶 So much fun 😊 Let’s try 😆 #recreation #activitiesForSeniors #exercise #shorts #concentration #beanbags #dayService

Here’s a foot exercise you can do indoors using beanbags.

Sit in a chair and place one beanbag on your knee.

Do a marching motion with the leg that has the beanbag on it.

Start with one leg, then gradually try placing beanbags on both legs or increase the number of beanbags.

Not only does this work as a foot exercise, but keeping the beanbags from falling while you march also helps improve concentration.

Because it doesn’t require heavy objects and can be done while seated, it’s recommended for older adults as well.

When the weather turns warm, you feel like moving your body, right? This simple indoor beanbag foot exercise is an easy way to get started.

Beanbag Tower

Senior recreation! Everyone’s hooked! Beanbag tower!! #shorts #seniorRecreation #dayService #recreation #heartwarming #hilarious #beanbag

Many older adults may have played with beanbags when they were young.

Some may have also played beanbag games with their own children or grandchildren.

Here’s a game that uses those beanbags to build a tower.

The rules are simple: compete to see how many beanbags you can stack on top of an upside-down paper cup.

By holding and stacking the beanbags, you can expect to improve or maintain fine motor balance and concentration.

You can focus and play on your own, or make it a team competition for extra excitement.

If you like, please give it a try.
