Crimson Sun
This is a exhilarating performance set to the beloved, nationwide hit “Makkana Taiyo.” It’s a high-energy, powerful song that’s sure to get the audience grooving along.
Go all out with flashy costumes—start with sun-shaped masks cut from red construction paper, and add red gloves and outfits to match, and have fun with it.
Shake off any shyness and dance your heart out with rolling moves like the famous “Choo Choo TRAIN” routine and by reaching out to the audience for high-fives!
sports day
Isn’t a sports day the perfect event to showcase the results of functional training from everyday recreational activities? Speaking of sports days, they’re usually held with a Red Team and a White Team, right? While incorporating the classic elements of a traditional sports day, let’s design events that are easy for older adults to participate in.
For participants who use wheelchairs or have other disabilities, seated activities like ball passing, string pulling, or a newspaper pull (a gentler twist on tug-of-war) work well and are enjoyable for seniors.
Of course, classic events like beanbag toss and bread-eating races can be included, too! If you run the program all the way from the athletes’ oath to the awards ceremony, participants are likely to feel a strong sense of accomplishment.
