Super Mario-style ball toss game

Introducing a Super Mario-style ball toss that makes you feel like you’re inside a video game.

The rules are the same as a regular ball toss.

When the start signal sounds, throw balls into the basket with a Mario illustration on it.

Prepare colorful balls, and you can even stick Mario illustrations on some to turn them into “item balls,” turning it into a ball toss where you collect items—sounds fun, right? The winner is decided by the number of balls that land in the basket.

Give it a try together and enjoy seeing what kinds of items you can collect!

Che Che Kori – Oto no Kakehashi Children's Choir

Let us introduce Chekkori Tamaire, a game where everyone has fun dancing together.

Move your body joyfully by dancing to the Che Chekkori song.

As soon as the music stops, throw the balls toward the basket.

Repeat the same sequence within the time limit and compete to see how many balls end up in the basket at the end.

Since ball tossing pauses while everyone is dancing, the whole group can get excited together—that’s a key point.

Chekkori Tamaire gets everyone at the venue dancing, so be sure to give it a try!

Tamaire with moving targets

Here’s a fun beanbag toss with a moving target that goes up and down.

Gather a trash bag, a hula hoop, and vinyl tape to make it.

Tape the trash bag onto the hula hoop.

Then attach vinyl tape to the hula hoop and hang it from a curtain rail.

After that, toss balls so they go through the hula hoop.

If an adult pulls on the vinyl tape to change the height or move it during play, it will get even more exciting! If you prepare several targets and use a large hall, many people can enjoy it together.

Balloon Tunnel Ball Toss

Let me introduce a colorful, spinning Balloon Tunnel Ball Toss.

Inflate the balloons and stick them together with double-sided tape to form a ring.

If you blow a hair dryer from below, the balloons will float in the air and spin around.

Try tossing balls through the gaps between the balloons and have fun! This might be perfect for small sports festivals or events held in limited spaces.

Since a hair dryer is used, please operate it under adult supervision and take care to prevent any risk of burns for children.
