Let’s look for a loooong word

Must-see for teachers: Liven up your class! 3 easy activities you can do in 5 minutes

In the “Let’s Find Long Words” game, the questioner specifies the final letter and asks for long words that end with that letter—in this case, words that end with “n.” The respondents think of and answer with long words ending in “n.” The longer the word, the more impressive it might be.

You could also score one point per character and have the team with the highest score win.

Once everyone gets used to the game, try setting themes like food or animals, or add rules such as not allowing words that have already been used, to make it more fun.

Tongue Twister Challenge

Tongue twister challenge! #GenkiDaycare #NurseryTeacher #Daycare #TongueTwister #Game #Besties #Fun #ChildcareStudent #Saitama #HannoCity #PleaseSubscribe

The tongue twister challenge is a recreational activity that everyone can enjoy together, no matter their age.

The key is to read the designated phrase quickly without stumbling over the words.

The facilitator should demonstrate first; if they deliberately slip up, it can help participants relax and ease their nerves.

Start by practicing slowly at first, and once everyone gets used to it, gradually increase the speed.

It can also be fun to play in teams and compete for the best time.

Association & Shiritori Game

[Association & Shiritori] What words start with 'nu'…? #WantToShiritori #Shorts

The “Association Shiritori Game,” which combines word association and shiritori, is a very fun game that strengthens creativity and thinking skills.

The first player picks a theme and chooses either association or shiritori, then passes it to the next player.

The next player responds with either something associated with the theme or a word that connects via shiritori.

The key is that each player, when their turn comes, can instantly choose whether to go with association or shiritori on the spot.

Focus and quick thinking might be crucial.

It can get really lively with a large group.

Guess the number you saw for a moment

Try a unique game that tests your concentration and memory! Here’s an idea where you guess numbers you’ve only seen for a split second.

Being able to remember something at a glance can be quite handy.

This ability is often called eidetic memory or a camera eye, and it’s said to involve high visual information processing skills.

Write a number on a piece of paper and show it to your partner for just a moment.

If they can answer correctly, switch turns.

Once you get used to it, try increasing the number of digits to four or five for an extra challenge.

Let’s play with 50-sound (hiragana) cards! Here are some ideas for a hiragana-collecting game.

Once you’ve prepared cards or slips of paper with one hiragana character on each, you’re ready to go! Within a time limit, try to make as many words as you can that fit a given theme.

For example, if the theme is “animals,” you can combine characters to form words like い・ぬ (dog) or き・り・ん (giraffe).

It’s helpful to set aside space to place completed words, so it’s easy for kids to understand.

Let’s use the hints to figure out the answer! Here’s an idea for a rearrangement game.

It’s a great recreation activity for breaks or free time! Once you’ve prepared five types of drinks with two bottles each (like plastic bottled drinks), you’re ready to go! It’s a simple game where you rearrange the drinks and guess the correct order.

The key is for each person to move one item per turn to work toward the correct arrangement.

It’s helpful if the caller can tell the players how many drinks are currently in the correct position.

It looks easy, but it really makes you think! You can also adapt it using stationery or other items instead of drinks.
