Hula hoop relay
How about trying a two-person hula hoop pass game? This is a time attack where teams compete to see how quickly they can send the hula hoop there and back.
Naturally, the team that finishes in the shortest time wins.
To get ready, the two players hold hands, and each extends their free arm straight out at shoulder height.
Hang the hula hoop on the wrist of the person who will go first, and start the game! Without letting go of hands, pass the hula hoop back and forth.
When the hula hoop returns to its starting position, you’ve reached the goal.
Animal Role-Playing Game
Let’s play by pretending to be animals—move on all fours like a bear, or walk while meowing like a cat.
Create various courses using cones, foam blocks, chairs, and more.
Choose a course that matches the poses and movements, and work together to express the animals well.
In addition to bears and cats, flamingos and frogs are also introduced, but once you decide to run the activity, it might be fun for everyone to think about which animals they want to become.
Treasure Hunt with Origami!
A treasure hunt game using origami that everyone can enjoy sounds exciting.
Let’s have the children fold origami.
We’ll adjust the difficulty of the folds according to their ages.
Once they fold animals, flowers, and more, they can color them or draw illustrations to create their own unique treasures.
Divide into a team that searches for the treasures and a team that hides them, then start the game.
Setting a time limit or counting who finds the most treasures could make it even more fun and lively for the children.
Voice-acting game
It’s easy to guess who someone is by looking at their appearance or face, but what about by their voice? This is a game where you try to guess who the speaker is using only the voices of your friends that you hear every day! Anyone who gets all the answers right must have an excellent ear.
It’s a fun activity that’s perfect for a preschool graduation party!
Spoon Relay
At sports festivals, this might be registered under the name “Egg-and-Spoon Relay.” For an indoor setting, why not get excited with a “Spoon Relay,” where players can be extra careful? It’s a recreation game where you place a tennis ball or a small doll on a spoon and carry it in a relay format.
Since there’s no running, it can be enjoyed even in a somewhat small classroom.
You can also use small snacks or other items that can be eaten on the spot—whoever reaches the goal successfully can go ahead and eat theirs.
Since it’s a graduation party, it would also be nice for everyone to relay “letters of appreciation” to the teachers.
Silhouette Quiz
When I hear “silhouette quiz,” I picture the kind they often did on variety shows, where a strong light is shone from behind a white screen and you guess what the projected shadow is.
But let’s try something simpler.
Draw only the outline in a sketchbook and fill it in, and you’ve got yourself a silhouette quiz illustration.
You can just show the picture, and if it’s too hard, you can give verbal hints.
Since it’s around graduation from kindergarten, it might be nice to choose spring-like plants or foods as the theme!
Hiragana Rearrangement Quiz
The “Hiragana Rearrangement Game” is a game you can truly enjoy while using your brain.
For example, take “nutaki.” What was the original word? That’s right—“tanuki.”
It’s a game where you rearrange hiragana to find the correct word! You can make puzzles from three characters and up, all the way to very challenging ones, so put your IQ to full use and have fun with it at your preschool graduation party!
