Indoor games and recreational activities recommended for June

I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”
9 years of experience as a nursery school teacherShibata Risa
I am an active nursery school teacher with 9 years of experience. After graduating from university, I worked at a daycare center. The time I spent happily with children—playing piano, singing songs, and doing finger-play—are priceless memories to me. Currently, while raising three children of my own, I work at an after-school day service, engaging with children and providing individualized developmental support. Drawing on my diverse experiences as a childcare worker and as a mother, I hope to express and convey my thoughts through writing.

During Japan’s rainy season in June, we end up spending more time indoors, don’t we? Among children who love playing outside, some may feel gloomy on rainy days.

Hand-push sumo

[Fischer’s] Hardcore Hand-Pushing Sumo Championship!!

Hand-push sumo

Let me introduce you to push sumo, a game anyone can enjoy regardless of strength.

If either of your feet move, you lose, and you can’t touch anything other than the hands.

This is exactly what “soft overcomes hard” means—women can topple men, too.

It’s a contest of timing and mastering your center of gravity!
