Handmade summer festival games: a collection of ideas you can enjoy at kindergartens, daycare centers, and at home.

Slime Goldfish Scooping

At-home festival: scooping “goldfish” with slime squeeze! #goldfishscooping #squeeze #festival #summerfestival #shortsfeeds #shorts #howto #squishy #idea #athomeplay

Have fun with squeezables! Here are some ideas for a slime goldfish scooping game.

It can be difficult to handle live goldfish at home or in a daycare/classroom.

This time, let’s enjoy goldfish scooping using squeezables and slime instead.

You’ll need liquid laundry starch or PVA glue, water, borax solution, toy goldfish, beads, bags, craft elastics, containers, and more.

Unlike water, it takes a bit more strength to scoop the goldfish, but once you get the hang of it, kids can enjoy joining in too.

Give it a try!

PET bottle darts

[Easy Home Game] The Plastic Bottle Darts was insanely fun!

How about planning a “PET Bottle Darts” game for your festival stall that anyone can enjoy anywhere? All you need are plastic bottles and chopsticks! Place plastic bottles with the caps removed on the floor, aim, and drop a chopstick.

If it lands in the bottle’s mouth, you win! You can adjust the difficulty by changing the size of the bottles.

Decorate the bottles cutely to match the festive atmosphere.

Since this game uses quite a few chopsticks when there are many participants, prepare plenty by splitting each pair into two sticks.

Let’s scratch with a coin! Here’s an idea for a fortune-slip (omikuji) project.

A scratch card is a card with a colored scratch-off area; when you scratch it with a coin or a fingernail, it reveals a win or a loss.

This time, instead of wins and losses, let’s make a scratch card that incorporates omikuji elements.

You’ll need things like dish soap, paint, tape, cards, and a brush.

If the paint is too thin, the content written on the card will show through, so adjust the thickness as you make it.

Let’s take our time and focus! Here’s an idea for a marble-balancing game.

Summer festivals often have game corners where you move your body dynamically, but this time, let’s try a marble-balancing game that you can enjoy with concentration.

What you need are cups, rubber bands, tissues, marbles, and a container for water.

The suspense of wondering when the tissue will finally tear is thrilling and fun.

Give it a try with the kids!

Frisbee game

Put the Frisbee in the character’s mouth! Here are some Frisbee game ideas.

A Frisbee is a plastic disc.

If you don’t have one at preschool or at home, you can cut cardboard into a circle to make a disc like a Frisbee.

In the video, the character’s mouth is wide open, and you throw the Frisbee aiming right at it.

It’s also fun to adapt the design to other characters or motifs like flowers or hearts.

Give the Frisbee game a try!

Turtle scooping

I'm going to scoop turtles. #TurtleScooping #turtle #shorts

Try scooping up turtles that are floating and swimming around! Here are some ideas for a turtle-scooping game.

Fill a plastic pool or tub with water and float plastic turtles in it.

You can adjust the tools to match the children’s ages, using scoops or paper scoops (poi), and enjoy the turtle-scooping fun.

Decorating the area with light-blue plastic bags or raffia tape to create an ocean theme will help set the mood.

Give it a try and create a game corner that gets kids excited!

stamp rally

I'm having so much fun with the stamp rally!!

Let’s move forward toward the goal! Here are some stamp rally ideas.

A stamp rally is an activity where participants collect stamps based on a specific theme.

For example, you could have a stamp rally where participants visit all the game booths at the event, or one where they search for hidden points around the playground—just coming up with the theme is exciting, isn’t it? As a unique feature of a summer festival, it’s sure to delight the children.

Be sure to incorporate a stamp rally into your summer festival!
