For the daycare’s sports day! Fun and unique event ideas

Flower arranging with everyone

Tomobe Kindergarten Sports Day – Nursery Class: “Flower Arrangement Together”

Introducing a field day event that even very young children can enjoy: a collaborative flower arrangement race.

Prepare plenty of artificial flowers big enough for a child to hold in their arms.

Try making them in a variety of colors like yellow, red, and pink.

At “Ready, go!” the children run to the bouquet pile and each picks their favorite flower.

They then run with the flower, place it into an empty container at the far end of the course, arrange it nicely, and cross the finish line.

The rules are simple, and it’s a delightful event where you can see the children looking adorable as they play.

The Hero’s Grand Adventure

Tomobe Kindergarten Sports Day Explanation Video: 6. The Brave Hero’s Grand Adventure

Kids are sure to join in with excitement! Here’s an idea for a Brave Hero’s Grand Adventure.

In this event, parents and children work together to overcome activities like mats and balance beams, defeat a big monster, and then reach the finish line.

Using a crown or a cape as the baton helps create the right atmosphere—highly recommended! Adjust the number and type of activities based on your venue size, and try incorporating it into your sports day.

[Parent-Child Event] Goldfish Move

Tomobe Kindergarten Sports Day Event Description No. 6: “Goldfish Moving Operation”

A heartwarming event where children and their guardians participate together.

The children wear red happi coats, the guardians wear blue happi coats, and they carry large goldfish scooping nets.

The festive visuals will boost the kids’ excitement.

When the game starts, scoop up a big goldfish from the first tank, circle around the flag once, then place the goldfish into the second tank to “move” the goldfish to its new home.

Split into the Red Team and Blue Team and race to see who finishes first—the competition makes it even more exciting.

Balloon Basketball

Even kids who aren’t comfortable with hard balls can give it a try! Here’s a balloon basketball idea.

Basketball is a ball sport played on a rectangular court where you use a ball and try to score by putting it through a hoop, right? Many of you have probably seen games on TV.

This time, let’s make a ball using a balloon and vinyl tape, and have a shooting contest with a parent or guardian.

For the hoop, a cut-out piece of cardboard works well.

You can adjust the height of the hoop to keep it fun and engaging without getting bored!

Nice shot in the golf game

You can easily make it with newspaper and a toilet paper roll! “A nice shot with a golf game!”

Let’s make it with newspaper and toilet paper rolls! Here’s a “nice shot” idea for playing golf.

Golf is, of course, a sport played in nature using clubs and balls.

This time, we’re sharing a fun idea that lets you enjoy golf with your child by using newspaper and toilet paper rolls together with a parent or guardian! Working toward a goal together with your child can deepen your bond and create wonderful moments.

Rin-rin hammer made from scrap materials

[Upcycled Scrap into Handmade Toys] Ring-Ring Hammer: How to Make and Play

Let’s try playing with a jingling hammer made from scrap materials.

Although its shape is completely different from a hammer throw implement, it would be great if guardians could explain the rules and key points of hammer throw to children.

When throwing, make sure to create a safe environment where it won’t hit furniture or people before giving it a try.

A gymnasium or an open field would allow you to practice with peace of mind.

Another advantage is that it makes a jingling sound when thrown, making it easy to tell where it landed.

Be sure to give it a try!

Playable Archery

[Playable Craft] So easy! A well-flying bow and arrow/archery—how to make it (plastic fork, straw, rubber bands) [Easy craft, recycled play, at-home play, indoor play]

Let’s make a bow and arrow that flies well! Here are some ideas for a playable archery activity.

Archery is a sport where you use a bow and arrow to hit a target.

This time, how about getting involved from the making process and having fun by using plastic forks, straws, and rubber bands? You can stack paper cups to make a target, or draw a picture on paper to create one.

Try playing together with a parent or guardian, experimenting with timing and how you launch the arrows.

It’s sure to become a valuable time for communication.
