Let’s learn rhythm with dice

Even if you find reading music difficult, you can try this with ease! Set a slow 4/4 beat with a metronome and clap the rhythm according to the numbers on dice used as stand-ins for notes.

For example, a roll of 1 represents a quarter note, and a roll of 2 represents an eighth note.

Triplets and other values also appear, so give it a try while paying close attention.

It could be fun to decide the order of the dice numbers by actually rolling them, too.

There are up to Level 5, so don’t give up—keep challenging yourself!

5 Board Games Where Rolling the Dice Is the Most Fun

Top 5 Board Games Where Rolling the Dice Is the Most Fun!! [Dice]

Since you can have fun just by rolling dice, why not try a game that groups of all ages—from kids to adults—can enjoy? In the video, games like Sengoku Jidai, where you assault castles, and Camel Up, where you bet on a camel race, are introduced.

Others include Dice Forge, where you collect fragments of the sun and moon; Space Base, where you acquire a variety of starships; and Stone Age, great for those who want a longer play session.

Try choosing based on difficulty level and your interests.

Shiritori Association Game

A brain-teasing, everyone-can-enjoy shiritori association game where you play as a cat and slip in “being cutesy/affectionate” and “association” between turns, imagining and saying words as you go.

When it’s your turn, think quickly and say a word with good tempo to keep the chain going.

If you fall behind the rhythm or say something that doesn’t fit the association, you’re out.

The more players, the livelier it gets.

Keep a gentle expression as you aim to clear the game!

20 indoor activities you can enjoy even on rainy days

After-school teachers recommend: 20 indoor activities kids can enjoy even on rainy days

Let me introduce a brain-teasing rule game.

The key point for the kids is to tell them, “Watch carefully.” Then the teacher shows numbers with their fingers, saying, “This is 1, this is 2,” and so on, which naturally makes the children focus on the finger movements.

But here’s the twist! They should also pay close attention to what the teacher says.

The level of excitement changes depending on the themes or rules the teacher sets.

Be sure to have fun playing it together with the kids! It’s also great because you can play it anywhere, like at camp or on a field trip.

Tongue Twister Showdown

[Hard] Tongue Twister Showdown!!

When it comes to games that get everyone excited without using any props, tongue-twister battles are a classic.

Gather a variety of fun tongue twisters and face off.

You can present one prompt at a time and decide rankings each round, or set multiple prompts with different difficulty levels and see who lasts the longest.

It’s a good idea to write the prompts on a whiteboard.

Since tongue twisters are tough at first glance, consider adding practice time and other tweaks so everyone can enjoy the game.

G Dodgeball

After-school childcare games (2): G Dodge

“G-Dodgeball” is a hugely popular team-based game in after-school care.

By adding a new role—the “Goalie,” a target that must be protected—to regular dodgeball, the game gains strategy and tension.

Each team selects one Goalie from among the first- or second-graders, and if that child is hit, the game ends immediately.

The infield players act as “Guardians,” doing everything they can to protect the Goalie.

Meanwhile, the outfield has “Getters” waiting to throw the ball at the opposing Goalie.

Because there are defined roles, everyone can shine, and with age-appropriate tweaks, the game evolves into an activity that excites players across grade levels.

It’s a great example of how a few simple rule additions can make dodgeball so much more fun.

kickbase

Recommended for upper elementary PE and recreation! Narabikko Kickbase

Kickbase isn’t just a physical game.

Kicking the ball, running, defending—every part is filled with children’s creativity and teamwork.

You’ll hear them calling out, “Who’s up next?” “How should we defend?” as they communicate and share roles.

Because it’s played with the feet, differences in strength matter less, making it fun for kids of different ages to play together on the same field.

They laugh when things don’t go well and high-five when they succeed.

Those small moments build confidence and cooperation.

Kickbase, which nurtures relationships while letting kids move their bodies to the fullest, is a perfect collaborative play activity for after-school programs.
