Physical activity exercise games (1–10)
Flip-over game
Get the team spirit going! Here’s a flip-over game to try.
Split into two teams and get started with a board that has different colors on each side, like Othello.
Within the time limit, the team that leaves more of their color showing wins.
Kids are sure to get hooked and give it their all! Before starting, remind everyone to watch out for collisions and falls while they’re focused on the game.
Give it a try and add it to your activities!
survival game
It’s a game where you advance into the opponent’s territory while taking cover behind obstacles on the field, attack the opposing team with airsoft guns, and work together toward the set objectives.
Because you’re attacking while staying hidden, how you formulate strategy within the team is really put to the test.
Although exchanging fire with airsoft guns might sound dangerous, as long as you wear the recommended gear, anyone can enjoy it safely.
When a BB hits you, you call yourself out—so good sportsmanship is important.
Precisely because it’s a simulated combat experience, it feels like it strengthens the team’s bonds.
Gesture Game
It’s a game that everyone from adults to kids can enjoy.
Communicating without speaking is pretty challenging, isn’t it? I think the guessers really have to use their heads, too.
You can probably get a glimpse of the gesturer’s personality as well, so it seems perfect for everything from mixers to preschool activities.
Epicenter Game
If you’re looking for an easy indoor activity for kids, the “Epicenter Game” is a great pick.
In this game, one person becomes the “epicenter,” and everyone else imitates that person’s actions.
The guesser watches everyone’s movements to figure out who the epicenter is.
It’s a simple game, but you can get creative to keep the epicenter hidden and make it exciting.
Balloon Soccer
Great for first-time soccer players! Introducing balloon soccer.
Many parents may want to enjoy soccer together with their children.
If you’re unsure where to start when playing soccer, this is a recommended idea.
All you need is a balloon.
First, get used to the rules by using a balloon as a ball.
Practicing juggling with your thigh or toes and heading with your head will help you get a feel for body movement and where to focus your gaze.
Simple rhythm game
Let me introduce a simple rhythm game that can also serve as jump rope practice.
Place a circle on the ground to mark the starting position, and use it as your reference point for jumping.
Follow the caller’s instructions on where to jump.
At first, you’ll get simple commands like “forward,” “right,” and “up,” but as the level increases, combinations like “right-left” or “front-back” get mixed in, testing your reflexes.
The more complex it gets, the more excited kids are likely to be.
It doesn’t take up much space, so give it a try!
Online sorting game
This is a game where team members line up on a single line drawn on the ground and aim to quickly rearrange themselves into a specified order.
The rule is that all movement must be completed while staying on the line, so work together to switch positions without stepping off.
Where you place your feet and what posture you take are important, and it’s crucial to move carefully while keeping speed in mind.
Holding hands with people around you or other forms of cooperation may also be important for increasing speed.
