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

Fluffy Tennis Made from Scrap Materials

[Fun for Parents and Kids] Beat the rainy season with 'Fluffy Tennis' made from recycled materials!

Here’s an idea for fluffy tennis using recycled materials.

Tennis usually involves a racket and a ball, but this time let’s try tennis using a plastic bottle and a bag! You’ll need a plastic bottle, a bag, stickers, a pen, and masking tape.

Draw your favorite illustrations on the bag, then fill it with air.

Decorating the plastic bottle freely with masking tape and stickers will get everyone excited.

Work together to keep the softly floating bag from falling.

Parent-child gymnastics surfing

You can do it at home! Parent-child exercises | Surfing | Coordination training introduction video

Let’s join in while training your sense of balance! Here are some ideas for parent–child gymnastics surfing.

First, the parent lies down on their stomach.

The child gently stands on top.

Since the body will wobble, it’s good to stretch both arms out to keep balance.

Once you get used to it, try adjusting the parent’s body height or moving like a wave so the kids won’t get bored.

When trying it for the first time, it’s best to do it in an environment with a mat or futon laid out.

Newspaper Spiderweb Circuit

[Ages 0–5] Let’s play boldly! Use the whole room to make a spider web!

Tear it! Stick it! Crawl through and play! Here’s an idea for a newspaper spiderweb circuit.

You’ll need plastic ribbon (suzuran tape), newspaper, and tape.

This is a great idea when you want to include crawling movements in your circuit.

Some children find tunnels challenging because they’re dark and long.

By tearing and sticking newspaper as part of everyday activities, you can naturally encourage crawling movements! The making process also stimulates children’s creativity—what a wonderful idea.

Core circuit

Core Circuit for 5-Year-Olds

Balancing is fun! Here are some ideas for a core-strength circuit.

The core refers to areas like the chest, back, abdomen, and lower back, as well as the muscle groups that support them.

Training the core can help improve posture stability, balance, and overall athletic performance! Incorporating a core circuit into activities could help children grow both mentally and physically.

Holding poses together while cooperating with parents or friends can also create meaningful bonding time.

Funny Relay

A recreation activity that people from ages 3 to seniors can enjoy. It’s also a great hit as a sports day event.

How about trying a fun relay that’s a little different from a regular one? All you need are rings big enough for your child to fit both feet inside—hula hoops work too.

Prepare about three of them.

Line up the three rings in a row from the starting line.

Walk forward across them, and when you run out of rings, pick up the one behind you and place it in front to make a path.

Keep repeating this to reach the goal.

It’s fine to play alone, or in pairs as a team! Instead of rings, you could also use seat cushions or sheets of newspaper large enough for your child to stand on.

Circuit of circulation

[Ages 3–5] Build motor skills with a roaming activity circuit!

Let’s develop physical abilities! Here are some ideas for a circuit-style activity.

A circuit course is one of the activities often done at sports days or during physical play.

In this event, participants move from one station to the next around a circuit—such as vaulting boxes and horizontal bars—completing each task in turn.

Children can move their bodies dynamically and give it their all, which helps improve their athletic skills.

Be sure to try incorporating it on this occasion.

Mr. Ant on an errand

Tomobe Kindergarten Sports Day Event Descriptions No. 7 and 8: “Errand Aisan” and “Little Ants’ Errand.”

How about a cute event perfect for preschools and kindergartens called “Little Ant Errand”? Waiting at the starting line are sweet treats that ants—and of course children—love.

Roll up newspaper and wrap it in plastic or paper to make oversized candies, cookies, and donuts.

Then, have the children put each treat into the box with the matching illustration and dash to the goal.

Cheer them on as they move forward, thinking, “Which treat is this?”
