Recommended for upper elementary grades! Exciting indoor recreation and games

triathlon

Let’s clear the challenges set at each station and aim for the finish! Here’s a triathlon-inspired idea.

A triathlon is a race where you swim, cycle, and run in sequence to reach the goal, right? This time, let’s try playing a game where you aim for the finish by overcoming a series of continuous challenges, just like a triathlon.

In the video, it looks like pairs are cooperating and playing together.

How about incorporating this into your activities with some adaptations?

Reaction Game

Listen carefully to the instructions and move quickly—that’s the key! Here’s an idea for a reaction game.

It’s a great recreational activity for when you want to move your body even indoors.

All you need to prepare are items like color markers.

Once two people stand facing each other in pairs, you’re ready to go! When the game starts, march in place and touch the indicated part of your own body.

It’s a simple game where, when the caller says something like “elbow,” you grab the color marker.

Give it a try!

A recreational activity incorporating parkour

Olympic host city! A unique after-school program that incorporates France-born parkour—jumping, running, vaulting, balancing—learning through play!

Let’s work on improving children’s athletic abilities! Here are some ideas for activities that incorporate parkour.

Parkour is a culture originating in France; by integrating movements like running, jumping, and climbing, it trains the mind and body and aims for artistic movement.

In recent years, we’ve been seeing it more often on social media, haven’t we? This time, let’s create a course using boxes and mats made of soft materials and try parkour.

It’s a wonderful idea that helps children understand weight transfer and how to use their bodies.

Pedometer Battle

[1-Minute Challenge] Attach six pedometers to your body and aim for a total of 1,000 steps!! A serious test of stamina!! The result is…

This is the “Pedometer Game,” where you strap on a pedometer and move your body as hard as you can for one minute to see who gets the highest count.

How about taking it up a notch by wearing lots of pedometers? Try going wild with six pedometers in total—on your head, waist, both hands, and both feet! Watching someone go all out and flail around is exciting and fun for everyone.

Who will end up with the highest total count?

table tennis

I played table tennis! Home table tennis tournament!! Nya-nya Channel

Let’s all try playing table tennis! There are places like schools and public facilities that have tables available.

Recently, you can even buy nets, paddles, and balls that can be set up on a regular table, even if you don’t have a proper table tennis table.

With those, you can easily enjoy a casual game with a small group wherever there’s a table, even in a slightly tight space.

Let’s add a referee and try playing by the official rules!
