[Childcare] Sports Day activity ideas. Let’s make the Sports Day exciting!

Family Space Travel

Sports Day Explainer Video No. 10: Junior Class Parent-Child Event “Family Space Trip” – Event Explanation

How about trying a parent-child event that feels like an exploration and adventure in space? The child sits in the front of a spaceship and the guardian in the back, and together they defeat aliens they encounter in space, grab stars from treasure chests, and head for the goal.

The spaceship made of cardboard has handles, so the guardian can hold it and run.

Pick up a sword along the course and knock down objects representing aliens.

It’s an event that includes elements of an obstacle race.

The stars taken from the treasure chests are well-earned rewards for the kindergarteners.

Handmade ball circuit

[Ages 1–2] Can You Predict the Movement? Handmade Ball Play

Let’s use a variety of balls! Here are some ideas for a handmade ball circuit.

Prepare palm-sized balls, large balls you can hold with both hands, newspaper, cushioning material, tape, and bags or baskets big enough to hold the balls.

Try events like rolling balls along the floor or collecting balls in bags or baskets—use balls of different sizes and materials to build spatial awareness through play! Using balls that differ in weight and texture will also stimulate children’s senses.

Give it a try!

Newspaper Spiderweb Circuit

[Ages 0–5] Let’s play boldly! Use the whole room to make a spider web!

Tear it! Stick it! Crawl through and play! Here’s an idea for a newspaper spiderweb circuit.

You’ll need plastic ribbon (suzuran tape), newspaper, and tape.

This is a great idea when you want to include crawling movements in your circuit.

Some children find tunnels challenging because they’re dark and long.

By tearing and sticking newspaper as part of everyday activities, you can naturally encourage crawling movements! The making process also stimulates children’s creativity—what a wonderful idea.

Defeat the pirates!

Defeat the pirates!!

This is an event you can insert between more traditional programs to create a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere.

The teacher playing the pirate should be well disguised so their true identity isn’t revealed—that’s the key point of the performance.

Then, have everyone throw beanbag balls at the pirate and work together to defeat them.

Use the microphone to hype things up with lines like, “Let’s defeat the scary pirate!” and “Let’s all work together and do our best!” Hearing these prompts helps the children focus on the activity of grabbing and throwing the balls, so they can enjoy exercising while having fun.

Kasama Tomobe Tomobe Kindergarten Childcare Information: “Sports Day Series – Nursery (Year 1) – Individual Events”

Popular anime characters join the sports day events! These are fun sports day games that even small children can enjoy while playing.

First, in a footrace, choose a character face—like Anpan, Shokupan, or Melonpan—placed in the field.

Once you’ve picked a face, look for the house that has the same picture as the face you’re holding.

When you find the matching house, throw the face you’re holding through the window to clear the game.

You can, of course, use non-anime characters for the event as well.
