Bug-catching game

Here’s a bug-catching game you play with a butterfly net.
The rules are very simple: cut origami paper into small pieces to make confetti, put it in a bowl, and get ready.
The person dropping the confetti stands on a raised platform and sprinkles the paper down.
The child below holds a butterfly net and tries to catch the confetti with the net.
It’s a fun game where you watch the confetti fall from above and move the hand-held net to catch it inside.
Try it in a spacious area and be sure to play safely!
Alien Repatriation Game
@asobiinlife The Ministry of Play is born! Alien deportation 👽 Let’s all work together and see how many we can send back!#asobi_in_lifePlayMinistry of Play#Yoshi Oniisan#playGo viral#LOLTrendy oneAkikusa Gakuen Junior CollegeAliensAlien Repatriation

Let’s work together with friends to help the aliens! Here’s an idea for an Alien Return game.
You’ll need balloons, markers, and something to mark the start and finish lines.
In this simple game, you carry balloon “aliens” to the goal—but cooperating with friends is absolutely required.
That’s because you play in teams of four, holding hands, and the rule is that you can’t let go! Coordinate your moves using your linked hands, heads, shoulders, or hips, and call out to sync your timing.
Work together and save the aliens!
In conclusion
We introduced play activities for early childhood education that are perfect for autumn.
There are plenty of ways to enjoy the season, from exploring nature outdoors to engaging with autumn elements indoors.
Let’s incorporate activities that satisfy the curiosity of energetic children.
Their various discoveries may lead the play to grow and evolve.
Enjoy!
