[Childcare] Entertainment that excites a birthday party

[Panel Theater] The Mysterious Pocket

Panel Theater: The Mysterious Pocket

How about incorporating the song “Fushigi na Pocket” (“The Magic Pocket”)—where you put a biscuit in your pocket, pat it, and the biscuits increase to two, three—into a panel theater? Not only biscuits, but various animals like frogs, penguins, and elephants can pop out from pockets of different colors and multiply.

The familiar song creates a fun atmosphere, so it’s likely to build the children’s anticipation—“What will come out next?” It’s also recommended to adapt the theme to match children’s interests, such as fruits or vehicles.

It could be a great opportunity for them to learn object names and how to count.

Popular song medley in May

May Popular Hand-Play & Nursery Songs Medley ♪ 30 Minutes of Continuous Play Kids Will Love!! (Preschool Teachers & Daycare)

Let’s create a Singing Day where everyone gets excited with their favorite songs! Here are some popular May song medleys.

Children are probably getting familiar with various nursery rhymes every day at daycare or kindergarten, right? If you ask each child, “What’s your favorite song?” you’ll likely hear a wide variety of answers.

Plus, let’s enjoy Singing Day by mixing in trending songs from anime and movies! It’s also great to make DIY microphones and costumes.

The appeal is that everyone can have fun in a relaxed and free-spirited atmosphere!

Mysterious Tunnel

Birthday Party Staff Performance: “The Mysterious Tunnel”

There’s something mysteriously appealing about slightly dark, enclosed spaces like tunnels and caves that sparks children’s sense of adventure and curiosity.

This time, we’re introducing an activity that uses such a tunnel.

It’s based on the popular picture book “Henshin Tunnel” (Transforming Tunnel), where repeating a single word causes the beginning and end to blend together and change into a word with a different meaning.

For example, when a kappa enters the tunnel and you keep repeating the word “kappa,” the sequence “kappa, kappa, kappa” shifts into “pakka, pakka, pakka,” and the kappa transforms into a horse as it exits the tunnel.

It makes you want to say it out loud over and over again, doesn’t it? You can enjoy these unique wordplay transformations together with the children by saying them out loud, so please give it a try!

[Birthday Party] Performance: Balloon Play

June Birthday Party♪ Let's play with balloons♪ “The Frog Song,” “Denden Mushi, the Snail~,” and “Little Bear in the Rain” (Nursery school event staff)

As a seasonal activity, here’s a birthday party idea using balloons.

Draw June-themed frogs and snails on balloons as you inflate them, and enjoy songs like “Kaeru no Uta” and “Denden Mushi.” The key is to inflate the balloons on the spot.

The kids will watch with excitement, wondering, “What’s going to happen next?” You can also give the finished balloons to the children as gifts.

Have a wonderful birthday party!

Panel Theater: Whose Underpants Are These?

Birthday party performance: 'Whose underwear is this?'

The panel theater show “Whose Underpants Are These?”, which also has a quiz-like element, is a game where you look only at a pair of underpants and guess who they belong to.

Draw animals’ or characters’ bottoms and their underpants on round cardstock, and show the children while asking, “Whose underpants do you think these are?” Another sheet of cardstock of the same size is hidden on the back; when you flip or rotate it, the answer appears, revealing the owner of the underpants.

If they’re tiger-striped underpants, are they a tiger’s? An ogre’s? Maybe the Thunder God’s? Children’s imaginations will run wild.

Try choosing and drawing underpants and animals with distinctive features.
