Fun games for kids in Kansai. Recreational games (21–30)
Magical Banana

It’s a recreational word-association game that’s famous nationwide, where you connect ideas by saying “speaking of X…”.
Linking familiar things through associations enhances thinking skills, and it’s appealing because both adults and children can play.
You don’t need any equipment, so it’s great for playing during breaks.
Universal Studios Japan

It’s an amusement park themed around Hollywood movies where you can experience the world of film.
In addition to the attractions, limited-time events are held, so there’s something new to enjoy every visit.
There are also various shops along the way from the train station to Universal Studios Japan, and sometimes events are happening there as well.

Rhythm 4

It’s a recreational game that moves along rhythmically as players say names and numbers.
The rules can be a bit hard to remember at first, but once you get them down, everyone can have fun playing together.
Since a sense of rhythm is important, the key point is that it’s a game that can improve both rhythmic ability and quick reflexes at the same time.
The National Museum of Art, Osaka

The National Museum of Art, Osaka opened in 1977 and has a long history.
From the entrance, it exudes a distinctly artistic atmosphere.
The museum regularly hosts many events for children.
Since there are capacity limits, be sure to apply early for any events that interest you.
silhouette

When we were little, my siblings and I, and our friends, would go behind the shoji screens to make shadow pictures and compete to guess what each of us was trying to create.
Playing with shadow puppets made with our fingers and heads was actually pretty difficult, but the joy of making a good shadow picture was huge.
It’s a game that really nurtures the imagination.
singing contest

It’s a recreation game where you sing two different songs alternately, one phrase at a time, and they gradually start to blend together.
It’s amusing to see how the tunes converge when you alternate songs with similar melodies.
It’s also fun to watch people raise their voices as they try to somehow keep their own song going.
Colorful Ninja

This is a recreational game where you connect things by color, which gained popularity after being shown on TV.
As long as you know the colors, anyone can join, and its simple, rhythm-based gameplay is sure to be addictive.
It also tests quick reactions, making it a great option for breaks and free time.
