[Unique] Fun sports day events that both kids and adults can enjoy

Matsuyama Minami High School FY 2021 Sports Day New Event: “Oblique Projection”

Let me introduce an oblique-throw relay that’s sure to energize your sports day.

The rules are simple: form teams of four.

Each team holds a blue tarp with a large ball placed in the middle and carries it to the area where a rope is stretched high above.

Working in sync, the four teammates use the tarp to launch the ball so that it goes over the elevated rope.

You must not use your hands to toss the ball—only pull and maneuver the blue tarp to send the ball upward.

After the ball clears the rope, catch it again with the tarp, return, and pass the turn to the next group.

Be careful when carrying the ball as it moves freely across the tarp.

Once the anchor group finishes, you’ve reached the goal.

Coordinate your timing and give it your best!

Giant Beach Ball Lifting

30 keepie-uppies with a giant ball!

When it comes to events that energize the audience with dynamic movement, nothing beats Giant Beach Ball Juggling.

On a large stage such as a schoolyard or gymnasium, teams compete to see how many consecutive lifts they can make using a soft, oversized ball.

Each team forms a circle and keeps the giant ball aloft with their feet or heads, making sure it doesn’t touch the ground.

Because it’s a sport that relies on teamwork, it can be a great way to deepen connections with classmates or colleagues.

Setting a time limit and competing for the highest number of lifts within that period is also recommended.

Give this event a try—both participants and spectators are sure to have fun.

Ball-carrying relay with defense

Arterivo Wakayama line-ball carry

Here’s an idea for a sports day activity: “Line Ball Carry with Defense.” The rules are very simple.

It’s a relay-style game where the team works together to carry a ball to the goal.

The basic rule is to transport the ball without dropping it and score by getting it into the goal while avoiding the opposing team’s defense.

More important than winning or losing is spending a fun time together.

It’s perfect for sports day because it encourages teamwork and communication.

Join forces with everyone and make wonderful memories!

Put the ball IN the bucket on your back!

Reiwa 3 (2021) Matsuyama Minami High School Sports Day “Obstacle Race”

Let me introduce a great obstacle-relay game: “Bounce a ball into a bucket on your back!” This is played in pairs.

One person wears a bucket on their back, and the other bounces a ball so it can be caught in the bucket.

Since the bucket is behind the wearer, it’s hard to see and adjust, so good teamwork and timing are essential.

It’s thrilling to watch, and its novelty is sure to draw attention.

Work together to fine-tune the strength of the bounce while staying in sync.
