No elaborate prep needed! Here’s a fun tabletop target game you can try anytime.

We all want to play, but if getting ready is a hassle, it’s hard to get started.

This idea is perfect for those times! All you need are empty toilet paper rolls or aluminum foil cores.

Line them up along the edge of the table and slide your “shuriken” to aim at the targets! Using the cores as-is works fine, but if you wrap them with washi-pattern origami or yarn to make them look like scrolls, it’ll boost the mood even more.

Aim at the empty can and knock it down!

It’s a game called “Aim with the shuriken!” You throw shuriken, hit the empty cans lined up on a platform, and knock them down. The clattering sound of the falling cans is lively, and when the shuriken hits just right, everyone gets really excited and has a great time.#Asahikawa#Asahikawatranslation#WelfareCaregiverCaregivingElderlyNurse#CareManagerCare ManagerHome-visit nursingHelper RecruitmentCaregiver recruitmentShuriken#sensoryplay#activities#kindergartan#preschoolactivities#elderycare#older#nursinghome#movement#activating#happykid#etkinlik#kidsactivies#homeschool#preschoolactivities

Let’s have fun by reusing scrap materials! Here’s an idea for a game where you aim at and knock down empty cans.

When you think of shuriken, the throwing motion is super cool, right? Try throwing them while making a “whoosh!” sound effect! All you need are some empty cans.

Stack the cans on a platform and throw your shuriken to knock them down! Best of all, the lively clatter of the cans falling when they’re hit really amps up the excitement.

Become a ninja and give it a try!

Perfect for events! Here’s a fun balloon target game.

Balloons are soothing to watch as they gently float up when you tap them.

They also make great targets for paper shuriken—so it’s extra fun! All you need are balloons in your favorite colors and some string.

If you want to make the shuriken shown in the video, prepare some origami paper too.

When the sharp tip of a shuriken hits a balloon, it can pop with a loud bang, so be mindful of the location and time when you play.

Give it a try!

Spiderweb Target Game

[Halloween Play] Spiderweb Ball Toss (for ages around 2 through elementary school) Halloween kids activity, kindergarten, nursery school, Halloween party, easy craft play

Perfect for Halloween! Here’s a fun idea for a spiderweb target game.

In this version, colorful balls stick to clear tape.

If your homemade shuriken (throwing star) is made of paper, it will stick to the tape, so protect it with lamination or clear tape to make it reusable—feel free to tweak the idea and play! A spiderweb-shaped target made from construction paper will get everyone excited, too.

Try switching up the target to match the season so kids won’t get bored.

Also great for shuriken practice! Here’s an idea for a spinning target.

Hitting a target with a shuriken can be tricky, right? This is a fantastic idea for when you think, “I want to practice!” What you’ll need: two milk cartons, two bamboo skewers, a straw, construction paper, scissors, glue, a pen, an awl, and craft adhesive.

The mechanism that spins when the shuriken hits is unique and fun! If you’re making it with children, be careful when handling the awl and bamboo skewers.
