Childcare: Recommended program ideas for a sports day

[Warm-up Exercise] A-I-U-E-O Calisthenics

Tried dancing the sports day exercise!! (Aiueo Music)

How about incorporating the “AIUEO Exercises” into your warm-up routine? The recommended song is GReeeeN’s “Aiueo Ongaku♬.” It’s a little bonus: you can move your body while also touching on the Japanese syllabary.

There’s an official dance available, but for a warm-up it’s better to add choreography that helps you stretch more thoroughly.

Rotate your neck, swing your arms, reach out with your hands, and jump.

Try designing movements that will help everyone get through the events that follow without injury.

[Parent-Child Event] Ladybug

[Baby to Toddler] Nursery Sports Day at 1 Year 3 Months ♥ Parent-Child Competition

Ladybug, recommended for parent-child events, has children play the role of ladybugs while their guardians support them.

Guardians can pull a cardboard cutout painted like a leaf for the children to ride on, or carry them and move forward across the squares.

Sometimes they wait ahead to cheer the children on as they overcome obstacles, all aiming for the goal together.

A race where children reach the finish line with support from their guardians might bring out expressions and sides of the children that you don’t usually see at the daycare!

My First Errand

Tomobe Kindergarten Sports Day Event Descriptions No. 7 & 8: “My First Errand” and “Shopping as a Pair”

In the “First Errand” event, children run an errand as part of the activity.

Place a variety of foods along the course and have each child pick one they like.

Then they deliver it to the house that’s the same color as the food to reach the goal.

Make the foods and houses using materials like cardboard, newspaper, and construction paper.

Through the event, let parents watch their children successfully complete their errand and feel their growth.

[Game] Muscatyuzu

Yuzu – Muscat [Original Choreography] Sports Day Dance and Recital Dance for Nurseries and Kindergartens

A great song to showcase an energetic dance at a sports day is Yuzu’s “Muscat.” It was used as the opening theme for the popular children’s anime Crayon Shin-chan, so many kids are likely to know it.

There’s also an official dance called the “Sukatto Dance,” which Crayon Shin-chan himself dances, so that’s a good reference, too.

In addition, many versions with simplified or arranged choreography are available on video sites, so choose one that suits the age of the children who will be dancing.

[Infant] Drive Go-Go

We’ll show you everything! Sports Day for 1- and 2-year-olds, 2021

Drive Go-Go is a game where children pull cars made from cardboard and similar materials.

Let parents watch as the children do their best to pull something all the way to the finish line, so they can feel the children’s growth.

Because there’s no complex movement like running or passing a baton, it’s recommended for infant classes.

Teachers prepare the cars in advance using cardboard and construction paper, attach a string to each car, and have the children pull the string to move the car.

If some children start heading in a direction other than the goal, gently take their hand and flexibly guide them together toward the finish line.
