You can play it in the classroom too! Haiihadon

Easy Classroom Activity 14: “Hai Iha Don”

Sit in a circle and stack your left hands in order.

Decide the order, and when someone says “Hai,” the person whose hand is at the very bottom moves it to the very top.

When they say “Iha,” the person whose hand is at the very top keeps it at the top.

When they say “Don,” the person with the bottom hand lightly taps everyone’s hands from above.

Through this game, children develop concentration, quick reactions, and a sense of unity with those around them.

It’s a game that fills the classroom with laughter even when mistakes happen and instantly livens things up.

No tools or preparation are needed, so you can start right away.

It’s recommended as a quick communication activity for class recreation or morning time.

Adults can enjoy it together, too.

Play the Signal Game Indoors!

A simple game you can play in your room: 'Traffic Light Game'

The “Traffic Signal Game,” where everyone follows the leader’s instructions, is a play activity that can help develop the ability to listen carefully and the judgment to act immediately.

When the signal is blue, take one marching step; when it’s yellow, shake your head left and right and look around; when it’s red, squat down.

Listen closely to which color the leader calls and act accordingly.

If the leader calls a color other than the three, everyone says “nai-nai” (meaning “no such color”).

There’s no winning or losing in this game, so just have fun moving your body!

Number Jump

[Let’s Play! Indoor Games] Even mistakes are fun! Number Jump!!

Let’s play using both our heads and our bodies! Here’s an idea for a game called Number Jump.

Kids tend to get more excited by games that are a bit challenging rather than too easy.

How about trying Number Jump, a game that engages both the mind and the body? It’s best to start with five or more people and go over the rules slowly as you begin.

First, each person jumps one at a time while saying “1.” After the last person has jumped, switch to jumping in pairs while saying “2.” In this way, the number of people jumping at once increases, so it’s a game that requires concentration.

Give it a try!

Jump, everyone!

[Recreation] Everyone Jump!! Various versions. Gymnastics class

It’s a game where everyone forms a circle, holds hands, and jumps in different directions.

Jumping helps develop concentration and a sense of balance.

By moving while listening to the teacher’s instructions, children can build their listening skills and their ability to think about how to move.

When calling out, speak clearly, loudly, and energetically.

Let’s enjoy jump play together—moving our heads as we jump and trying things like hopping on one foot or jumping with both feet.

20 indoor activities you can enjoy even on rainy days

After-school teachers recommend: 20 indoor activities kids can enjoy even on rainy days

Let me introduce a brain-teasing rule game.

The key point for the kids is to tell them, “Watch carefully.” Then the teacher shows numbers with their fingers, saying, “This is 1, this is 2,” and so on, which naturally makes the children focus on the finger movements.

But here’s the twist! They should also pay close attention to what the teacher says.

The level of excitement changes depending on the themes or rules the teacher sets.

Be sure to have fun playing it together with the kids! It’s also great because you can play it anywhere, like at camp or on a field trip.
