♪ 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.

String Balloon Relay

Recreation for seniors: Simple and exciting! String-and-balloon drop

It’s a game where you work with the person across from you to skillfully control a string you’re holding and carry a balloon to a target location.

Because you can’t move the balloon well with your own power alone, you feel a bit of frustration, but also the fun of cooperation.

If you make it like a relay where you pass the balloon to the next person, not only coordination with the person opposite you but also strategy with the person before and after you is tested, which makes the game even more engaging.

It’s a game where the spirit of cooperation is key, including how you tension and move the string.

Balloon volleyball stick whacking

[Senior Recreation] Focus! Balloon-Based Activities [Exercises for Older Adults]

When you fill a balloon with air, it moves in a light, floaty way, right? Let’s try playing volleyball with one of those floaty balloons by hitting it with sticks.

Divide into two teams and have the older adults sit while holding a stick.

When the balloon comes to you, use the stick to return it like in volleyball.

The key is to use longer sticks.

The slow-moving balloon volleyball will surely get older adults excited.

Once everyone gets used to it, try using two balloons, and so on.

Fluffy ball

[Sports Recreation] Lively Rec 🎈Fluffy Ball🎈

Let’s have fun with a game where you compete for points using balloons.

Inflate a balloon and tie a string to it with a weight attached to the end.

Before you start, write point values on the floor.

Aim for the spaces with the written points and throw the balloon.

The person who scores the most points wins.

The trick seems to be to swing the weight firmly as you throw the balloon.

Throwing the balloon can also be an effective workout for the upper body and arms.

Since balloons aren’t very heavy, there’s little risk of injury if they’re dropped, which is nice.

Flappy butterfly

Today's activity at Day Service Asumiru

It’s a game where you pinch the plastic sheet in the middle to make a butterfly shape, then use a fan to blow it and try to send it as far as possible.

On the table, you arrange flower illustrations with point values set according to their size and distance, so players think about which target to aim for as they create the wind.

You can only wave the fan once, so it’s also important to decide how much force to use.

It’s a game that trains how to apply strength, how to move, and sharpens immediate focus.

Intense Balloon Volleyball

[Day Service Recreation] An evolved version of balloon volleyball! #DayService #DayServiceRecreation

It’s the same as balloon volleyball in that you keep the rally going without letting the balloon drop, but the only change is the number of balloons.

Since you’ll be chasing two balloons, not only your striking motion but also your concentration and dynamic vision will be tested.

A key point is that the balloons won’t necessarily be in the same place—when they fly apart, you’ll follow them with your head and gaze, so your body will likely loosen up as the game goes on.

As the number of balloons increases, the game becomes more intense and demands greater concentration, so start with a small number and gradually work your way up.

Chaotic Balloon Volleyball

@cs.matsuyama

CaregivingTeshikagaRecreation#Nursing homeTranslationBalloon Volleyball 🎈childrenplayful sports day energy

♬ Kids pets entertaining sports day – SOUND BANK

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.
