[For Seniors] Recreational Activities Enjoyable in Large Groups

Giant Balloon Volleyball

@binsannohige

It was a balloon activity 🎈 We put five balloons in a trash bag to make one giant balloon. Everyone got really spirited (lol). In another activity, we relayed a balloon to a basket using a plastic string.Day Service Center Aozora ClubElderly care facilityDay care (elderly day service)#Game RecRecreation#Balloon ActivityNow hiring!

One of the great things about balloon volleyball is that you can adapt it using everyday items.

Try a supersized version by putting five inflated balloons into a clear trash bag.

It’s especially fun and colorful if each balloon is a different color.

Have older adults seated in chairs rally the giant balloon back and forth.

You can arrange everyone in a circle, or split into two teams for a head-to-head match to make it even more exciting.

Because the balloon is so big, the amount of force you use may feel different than usual.

That difference—and the novelty—are part of what makes this game enjoyable.

Fun for kids and adults! Balloon Battle

[Balloon Battle] How to play the balloon relay

Here’s a game called “Balloon Battle” that uses long balloons and round balloons.

Prepare one long balloon for each participant.

After inflating the balloons, each participant holds a long balloon, and at the start signal, they pass the round balloon to the opponent.

The rule is that you can’t use your hands—you must pass using the long balloon.

Balloons are light, and if you misjudge your strength, they’ll drift away.

If you drop the balloon, you lose, so be careful when passing.

The game is basically played by two people, but it could also be fun as a team relay.

Escape from the Balloon Tower

[Cheerful Recreation 🏀] 100-yen store activity gets super lively! Did the balloon escape from the tower?

For older adults, seasonal events are very important.

Among them, the spring and autumn sports festivals are great opportunities to show what you can do.

They’re especially recommended for seniors who enjoy being active.

The balloon tower escape game we’re introducing this time involves building a tower with cable ties, placing balloons inside, and using fans to waft the balloons out of the tower.

Four teams compete.

Since you fan with full force, it seems likely to strengthen the muscles in your hands and arms.

It’s a very exciting game where you time the attempts and the fastest team wins.
