Fun music play in nature

Fun music play in nature

Let’s move our bodies together and enjoy playful music activities in nature while taking in the scenery and sounds around us.

Placing ourselves in nature and listening to the wind and the sounds of insects stimulates the five senses and helps refresh the mind and body.

As we sing, let’s wave colorful scarves and try moving them while imagining what the wind might sound like.

It’s also fun to sway the scarves with varying strengths, like a gentle breeze or a strong gust.

One of the charms of this play is being able to move freely and express yourself while sensing a variety of sounds—like leaves rustling and water flowing.

Treasure hunting by the riverbank

Treasure found with a metal detector!? Treasure hunting on the riverbank ♪ himawari-CH

A treasure hunt held on a riverbank can be enjoyable even for adults, thanks to the wide playing field.

You can hide small treasures among the stones in advance, or, for young children, make a game of seeing how many brightly colored or interestingly shaped stones they can find.

Also, toy metal detectors are sold nowadays, so it might be fun to search for real treasure.

However, since uneven ground can be hazardous just to walk on, adults should keep a close eye on children while they play.
