Frog kick

Today’s Rec: The Frog Kick

A recreation where you kick with a hop! Here are some ideas for a Frog Kick activity.

How about hosting a recreation themed around frogs that love the rain? Once you stick frog illustrations on the floor, you’re all set! While seated, place a beanbag or a weighted paper cup on your feet and kick it up with a burst of energy.

If it lands on the frog illustration, you clear the challenge! It’s a bit like the old shoe-toss game—many people may feel a wave of nostalgia.

Give it a try!

Kero Kero Catchy

Exciting recreation! Here’s an idea for Kero-Kero Catcher.

It’s a game where you catch balloons with frog illustrations on them and compete for points.

Track the balloons with your eyes and try to catch them firmly while enjoying their unpredictable, wiggly movements.

Prepare cardboard or empty boxes, balloons, plastic bags, and tape, and make your own Kero-Kero Catcher.

Once you get the hang of it, it could be fun to assign different point values to each balloon color!

Making this exercise part of your routine can help refresh both mind and body.

Take this opportunity to give it a try!

Use your wrist and beckon, ‘Come here, come here, little snail!’

[June Recommended Activity] Use your wrists to beckon the little snail over!

Let’s wind the string and reel the snail in! Here’s an idea where you use your wrist to beckon the snail to come closer.

It’s a great suggestion for anyone looking for a wrist-focused game.

Draw a picture of a snail on an empty box, and place an empty plastic bottle inside the box.

Connect the box and a plastic wrap core with string, and reel the string in to pull the snail toward you—it’s a unique game.

The key is to control it so you don’t knock over the plastic bottle!
