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!

Original song – kids fun world – kids fun world

Discover the fun of working together! Introducing ideas for a big puzzle challenge.

Many teachers may be unsure about parent–child events where guardians participate together.

This time, let’s try a puzzle that 2-year-old children and their guardians work on collaboratively.

What you’ll need are cards with random animals drawn on them, animal headpieces, and a puzzle made from cardboard.

Starting this for the first time on the day of the sports festival might make the children anxious, so it’s best to incorporate it into everyday activities for practice.
