Indoor games that different ages can enjoy! Ideas for fun everyone can get excited about together

Illustration Shiritori

[Wordplay] Illustration Shiritori ②

Let’s have fun playing shiritori using illustrations.

Even very young children can easily imagine the names of things when they have pictures, so it’s highly recommended.

Start by checking the names of the illustrations together, then begin the game.

If you link the pictures the children drew through shiritori, it will likely deepen their understanding of and interest in words even more.

Try incorporating various categories—such as friends’ names and toy names—so the children can feel familiar and enjoy the game, adding creative twists as you play.

Say the same thing, do the opposite game

It’s simple but tricky—that’s what makes it fun! Here’s an idea for a game where what you say and what you do are opposites.

A teacher or guardian plays the role of the caller, giving directions like forward, backward, left, and right.

The children imitate what the caller says, but perform the opposite movement.

It’s a unique game! At first, it’s best to go slowly and carefully.

Once everyone gets used to it, try speeding up the tempo or adapting it into a three-person team match to make it more exciting.

Invincibly Cute – Naoki Endo

An amusing game where you evolve by winning rock-paper-scissors: “Evolution Janken.” Aim to become a god within the time limit! Everyone starts as a baby.

Since you’re a baby, you crawl to move and play rock-paper-scissors with people you meet.

If you win, you evolve and can move by hands-and-knees crawling.

If you lose, keep belly-crawling and look for your next opponent.

It goes like this: belly-crawl, hands-and-knees crawl, bear walk, adult, elderly person, and finally, you become a god and the game ends.

Evolve within the time limit!

Catch

Catch @ Yamato Company

It’s not a very well-known game, but it’s super easy because you don’t need any equipment.

Make a fist with your right hand, then loosen it so it looks like a tube—imagine the shape of a chikuwa.

With your left hand, make the number-one shape by pointing your index finger.

Several people form a circle and each person inserts their left index finger into the right-hand “tube” of the person next to them.

When someone calls out “Catch,” anyone who successfully grabs their neighbor’s finger wins.

Don’t get tricked by similar words like “Cap”—that doesn’t count.

The caller has a bit of an advantage in the game, so if you let the younger kids be the ones to call “Catch,” it might help close the age gap a little.
