Sitting tag

[Indoor Active Play] Have Fun with Seated Tag [Elementary School Kids]

How about trying a seated game of tag that you can play indoors? First, choose who’s “it,” and have everyone—including the tagger—start in a seated position.

It’s best if people are spaced a little apart.

The rule is that everyone must keep their bottoms on the floor even while moving.

Moving while your bottom stays on the floor is tricky and slows you down more than you’d think—that frustrating feeling is what makes it so fun.

Since you can’t move very far, you can enjoy it in a small space.

Give it a try!

Trust Game

@quuun_tiktok

Taking on the “Trust Game” where muscle soreness is inevitable!! lolTrust Game#Biancaholloway#viralRecommendation#fyp#JK#JC#QUUUN

♪ Original song – QUUUN!! – QUUUN!!

Connect your hearts to the music! Here’s an idea for a trust-building game.

It’s a unique activity you can enjoy with friends you always spend time with—full of excitement and a little thrill.

First, hold hands and form a circle.

Gradually lower your hips and move into a squat.

Once everyone is fully squatting, stand back up together in sync.

It’s a simple game! Because it relies on trust, you’ll support each other’s balance as you sit and stand—so try it with friends you trust.

obstacle course

If you’re looking for a game that lets you make the most of what’s in the gym and have a blast, this is a must-see! Introducing an obstacle race.

The rules are super simple: start at the signal “Ready, go!” and make your way to the finish line by overcoming various obstacles set up along the course.

The team whose members all finish first wins.

Gyms usually have plenty of items that can be used as obstacles—vaulting boxes, mats, balance beams, hula hoops, tunnels, hurdles, and more—so try creating courses with different combinations and have fun playing!

Stop game

Blue Class Stop Game on 2018-09-13

A light, get-your-body-moving game: the Stop Game.

The rules are very simple.

Once the music starts, move freely around the room.

Then, when the music stops, freeze right where you are! When the music starts again, start moving.

Keep repeating this.

If you speed the music up or slow it down, it gets a bit more challenging and exciting.

It’s also fun to add a rule where, just before stopping, the teacher or leader calls out something like “rabbit” or “elephant,” and everyone has to freeze while imitating that animal.

It’s perfect for filling a short break, so give it a try!

Color Play Game

@cocorurueniwa

Today's activity is a color play game! Walk only on the specified color and aim for the goal! Make sure to clearly recognize your own color!#Kokoruru Eniwa#Kokorururu SakuramachiEniwa CityAfter-school day serviceAfter-school day serviceActivityColor Play Game#tiktokvalentine

♪ Tetris – Hiiragi Magnetite

This is a game where players aim to reach the goal as quickly as possible while identifying the colors taped on the floor.

Short strips of vinyl tape in various colors are stuck to the floor, and players must step only on the specified color to make their way to the goal.

The spacing of the tape is a key point—varying the distances to match different stride lengths helps players focus more on the colors, which is recommended.

If starting at the same time, proceed with care so no one gets too focused on the colors and bumps into others.

♪ Original Song – Otona no Asobiba – Otona no Asobiba

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!

Dash through the gym while scrubbing the floor!

Sprint through the gym with rag-wiping! Keep attacking the inside lane! [Our School Battle]

This activity involves racing through the gym while in the posture used for wiping the floor with a cloth—competing for speed while also cleaning the gym.

Since it uses a unique posture different from regular running and involves equipment, you also get to experiment with how to go faster.

Until participants get used to it, it’s recommended to first compete in straight-line sprints, then expand to courses with curves or obstacles.

Even those who aren’t good at regular running might discover that they can win in this posture—there may be new findings like that.
