Original song – kids fun world – kids fun world

Like a little adventure! Here are some fun parent–child circuit ideas.

It’s great when the events let guardians see moments of their children’s growth.

This time, let’s try a jam-packed circuit that blends elements of exercise and recreation.

With activities like piggyback rides, balance beams, and “Acchi Muite Hoi,” it’s sure to be full of smiles from both guardians and kids! If teachers join in too, it could help deepen trust even further.

Definitely give it a try.

Go! Go! Go! by Shinkansen!

FY2024 Kirara-en Sports Day Parent–Child Event for 0-, 1-, and 2-Year-Olds

Recommended for classes that love vehicles! Here are ideas for Shinkansen GO! GO! GO! Many children are likely interested in bullet trains and working vehicles.

How about planning events centered on the Shinkansen this time? Start at a gate where you tap a card.

Seat the child in a cardboard Shinkansen and have their guardian run while pulling or pushing it.

After passing through a “waterfall” made of plastic tape streamers, they receive a souvenir and head to the goal.

If you package the souvenir like a station bento (ekiben), it will add to the excitement.

Give it a try!

Hide-and-seek at the sports day?

Hide-and-seek at the sports day? Fun parent–child performance ideas to try

Parents and children will both get excited! Here are some ideas for playing hide-and-seek at a sports day.

Hide-and-seek is usually a game played during everyday playtime, right? This time, let’s try it at a sports day.

It’s especially recommended for preschools and kindergartens where children wear the same hats and gym clothes for the event.

After hide-and-seek, setting up a corner where parents and children can deepen their bonds through dance or interactive play will make things even more lively.

Give it a try!

Card-Flipping Obstacle Race

Let’s join forces and make the mission a success! Here’s an idea for a card-flipping obstacle race.

Since they’re in their final year, this will be their last sports day, right? How about creating a special memory with a parent-child event at the end? Dash from the starting line to the card area! When you flip a card, you’ll find a mission written on it.

Work together with the guardian to follow the mission and aim for the goal.

Even slightly challenging missions can be overcome by cooperating with the guardian.

“Jungle Guruguru” is a dance idea for parents and kids! Stand side by side and have fun doing the same choreography together.

It’s simple yet super cute—shaking your hips, stepping in place while clapping your hands, and more.

You’ll also hold hands and jump together, which will make for some lovely, smile-filled photos.

Enjoy it as if you’re adventuring through a jungle.

If you prepare adventure-appropriate outfits for the kids, it might boost their motivation too.

relay race

Let’s compete seriously while following the rules! Here are some ideas for a competitive relay.

The events for the older class are really thrilling, aren’t they? Among them, relays are something that can excite both children and adults.

Watching them aim for first place while keeping their promise to run the designated course is sure to be moving! Including a competitive relay in your sports day can really highlight the children’s growth.

It’s a good idea to decide on rules in advance, such as how to pass the baton and how to overtake.
