Frog Toss Game

Let me introduce a frog-flinging game everyone can enjoy.

Make a target on a large sheet of poster paper and write point values on it.

It gets more exciting if you prepare a range of scores from high to low.

Once you’ve set a frog on a plastic bottle, try launching it toward the target.

It’s fun to think about how hard to launch and which section of the target to aim for.

If you set up a table and chairs, you can enjoy it while seated, so kids and seniors alike can join in the fun!

Balance game

Balance game 👹 This material will be distributed via an Instagram subscription ✨ You can also play by stacking plastic bottle caps or sponges 🌼Made in FebruarySetsubun craftSetsubun#HandmadeToyspaper plate#AtHomePlayPaper Plate Craft

Oria – niKu

Here’s an idea for a simple and fun “balance game.” All you need are a paper plate and some paper, like copier paper.

First, fold the paper plate in half.

Then, make additional folds on both sides of the center crease, leaving a 2 cm gap from the center on each side.

Fold along those side creases to create mountain folds, and secure the plate with tape so it doesn’t open.

That completes the base for the balance game.

Next, cut the copier paper into strips.

Glue the ends together to form squares, creating the pieces you’ll place on the base.

To play, set the base with the rim of the paper plate facing down, then place the square pieces on top while keeping the balance.

Pocky & Pretz Game

Let me introduce a heart-pounding Pocky & Pretz Game where you’ll be on edge wondering if it will topple over.

For the Pocky sticks, roll sheets of newspaper into long, thin rods and use yellow and black duct tape to make them look like Pocky.

For the Pretz sticks, roll newspaper the same way, wrap them with yellow tape, and use colored pens to draw toasted patterns.

The key is to keep the length and thickness as uniform as possible.

Since you’ll be working with your hands while seated, you can enjoy the activity from the preparation stage.

Once you’ve set the Pocky sticks in a ring, take turns removing one stick at a time.

The person who causes the Pocky to fall when they pull a stick loses.

It’s a great game for getting a big group excited!

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.

Marble Balancing Game

Marble Stacking Game: When will it collapse?!#StayHomeTime#AtHomePlay#AtHomePlayPlay ideasSimple Play

♬ Bounce (feat. NENE) – Snowk

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!
