Christmas Billiards

Christmas party recreational activities for a children's club

Let’s try playing billiards on the table! It’s not full-fledged billiards—just set up some targets on the table and knock them down with a ball.

If you wrap empty cans or plastic bottles with Christmas-themed illustrations as targets, it’ll boost the festive mood.

Try different ways to play, like seeing how many you can knock off the table or how quickly you can topple them.

Don Janken

Don-janken

“Don Janken” is a game played by two teams.

Each team lines up in a single file at opposite ends of a straight line.

Starting from the front, a player runs along the line, and when they meet an opponent, they say “Don!” and press both hands together before playing rock-paper-scissors.

The loser returns to their own side and goes to the back of their team’s line, while the winner continues forward along the line.

The team whose players keep winning rock-paper-scissors and reach the opponent’s side first wins.

Epicenter Game

[Play] 5 Fun Group Games [Nursery/Kindergarten]

This is a classic, popular game called the Epicenter Game.

It isn’t uniquely Japanese just because Japan is an earthquake-prone country, but it’s a fun game.

Please give it a try.

How to play: First choose an “oni” (the guesser).

While the oni isn’t looking, choose one child to be the epicenter.

The epicenter child and the other children form a circle, and the oni stands inside it.

The epicenter starts performing some kind of movement, and the other children imitate the epicenter’s movement.

Whenever the epicenter changes the movement, the others follow and change as well.

The oni watches and tries to guess who the epicenter is.
