Exciting! Recreational Activities to Enjoy at a Christmas Party

Santa fell down

Everyday Play: Did Santa Fall Down? Red Light, Green Light Christmas Ver. — Maa-chan [5 years old] & Oo-chan [3 years old]

The rules are the same as the usual “Daruma-san ga koronda,” but instead of the tagger saying “Daruma-san ga koronda,” you say “Santa-san koronda” and play.

If someone in the group is dressed as Santa, it’ll probably get everyone excited.

An arrangement where everyone protects Santa, who brings presents, could be fun too.

Kids who manage to tag the “it” might be thrilled to get a small gift.

And if everyone is in costume, you could change the phrase to match the costumes as well.

Word Search Game

[Christmas Activity] Remake! A word-search game you can play alone or with everyone! Safe even during the COVID-19 pandemic! [Elderly Care Activity] [Kids Activity]

The “word search game” you often see on variety shows.

The person playing usually doesn’t notice things, while the people around them can see the whole picture better.

This word search game can be customized with a Christmas theme: make the words Christmas-related, color the cards in Christmas colors, enlarge the cards so everyone can see them, or turn the word cards into one big board—anything goes.

Share ideas and make the game fun together.

Longer words naturally raise the difficulty, so adjust the challenge based on the children’s ages!

Here’s a fun paper cup race you can make with everyday materials.

Get some paper cups, raffia tape (plastic ribbon), and vinyl tape ready.

Poke holes in the paper cups, thread the raffia tape through, and tie a single knot to assemble it.

It might be nice to draw faces on the cups with a felt-tip pen, too.

Once it’s finished, place a ball on the cup, pull the string, and start the race.

Move slowly and carefully so the ball doesn’t fall off.

Try timing your runs or competing to see who can reach the finish line the fastest and have fun!

Do it right away! Epicenter game

[Let’s Play! Indoor Games] A “Shingenchi Game” you can start right away with friends and family

I’m going to introduce a “Shingenchi” game that everyone can get excited about.

First, choose one person to be the Oni (it).

The Oni’s job is to figure out who the Shingenchi is.

One other member becomes the Shingenchi and performs various movements while trying not to be noticed by the Oni.

The remaining members should imitate the Shingenchi’s movements—mixing in other motions as well—so the Oni can’t tell who the real Shingenchi is.

The Oni tries to guess who the Shingenchi is.

The more players you have, the more challenging it may become.

Give it a try!

Christmas target game!

6th Christmas Guessing Game: Easy Crafts You Can Make and Play as a Parent-Child Pair!

How about making a ring toss game you can use at parties? Using colored construction paper, you’ll make a Christmas tree and hats as the targets, plus the rings.

First, to make the tree, prepare a square sheet of origami paper and fold it in half to make a rectangle, aligning the left and right edges.

Next, open the fold, then fold the two bottom corners in toward the center.

Fold the new edges so they overlap at the center, tuck in any excess paper, and shape it into an isosceles triangle to finish.

The hat is made the same way, so decorate it with stickers or pom-poms to complete it.

For the rings, take two strips of construction paper, fold each in half lengthwise, twist them together into one strip, and then connect the ends to form a circle.

Fun for kids and adults! Balloon Battle

[Balloon Battle] How to play the balloon relay

Here’s a game called “Balloon Battle” that uses long balloons and round balloons.

Prepare one long balloon for each participant.

After inflating the balloons, each participant holds a long balloon, and at the start signal, they pass the round balloon to the opponent.

The rule is that you can’t use your hands—you must pass using the long balloon.

Balloons are light, and if you misjudge your strength, they’ll drift away.

If you drop the balloon, you lose, so be careful when passing.

The game is basically played by two people, but it could also be fun as a team relay.

Fun for elementary school kids too! The Rule Game

[Game for Elementary Schoolers to Enjoy] Pattern Game

The “Think With Your Head” rule quiz is a game that even elementary school students can enjoy.

It’s a game where you listen to connected parts like “This is 1,” “This is 2,” “This is 3,” and answer accordingly.

You might feel tempted to say the number shown by the fingers when someone makes a number pose with their hand, but try to listen carefully to the connecting words and give the correct answer.

Once you grasp the key, you can create endless questions.

Keep your mind flexible as you figure out the right answers.

It could also be fun to play with more people and compete to see who can get the most correct answers.
