Go! Go! Gold Medal

[Untokodokkoi Sports Day 29] Go! Go! Gold Medal!

Let’s enjoy a parent-and-child exercise together! Here are some GO! GO! Gold Medal ideas.

This activity is a fun workout where you move your body to music using small hoop-like items.

You can make the rings from everyday materials, like cutting them out of newspaper or paper plates.

Since it’s themed around gold medals, finishing them with gold holographic tape would be great.

Facing each other and making eye contact, as well as physical touch, can deepen your bond even more.

Kendama Fencing

Let's play kendama fencing! #after-school care #kendama

Let’s play by arranging the game! Here’s an idea for Kendama Fencing.

Fencing is a sport that originated from medieval European chivalry, where two athletes face off one-on-one using swords, right? This time, let’s use kendamas instead of swords.

Split into two teams and keep a distance of about five meters between them.

Choose one player from each team, and have them aim for the opposing team’s side while balancing the ball on the kendama’s cup.

The rule is: when they pass by each other, the player who knocks the opponent’s ball off with their hand advances.

Tag Rugby Game

[Tag Rugby] Recommended for Elementary School Kids! Top 5 Rugby Games #shorts #ElementarySchool #TagRugby

Recommended for elementary school students too! Here are some ideas for tag rugby games.

Tag rugby is a sport based on rugby where, instead of tackling the opponent, the game progresses by removing tags attached to the players’ waists.

For example, one of the five play ideas shown in the video is a game where you set up three cones and run laps around them while trying to take your opponent’s tag.

Give them a try and see how they work for you!

A recreational activity incorporating parkour

Olympic host city! A unique after-school program that incorporates France-born parkour—jumping, running, vaulting, balancing—learning through play!

Let’s work on improving children’s athletic abilities! Here are some ideas for activities that incorporate parkour.

Parkour is a culture originating in France; by integrating movements like running, jumping, and climbing, it trains the mind and body and aims for artistic movement.

In recent years, we’ve been seeing it more often on social media, haven’t we? This time, let’s create a course using boxes and mats made of soft materials and try parkour.

It’s a wonderful idea that helps children understand weight transfer and how to use their bodies.

Safe baseball

How to enjoy baseball safely! Get excited with simple gear. With this, you can play baseball to your heart’s content at the park! \(^o^)/

Let’s play using soft materials! Here’s a safe baseball idea.

When you think of baseball, you probably imagine wooden or metal bats and cork-filled balls.

But when playing with preschoolers or kids who aren’t familiar with baseball, how about enjoying the game with soft equipment? Use a pool noodle cut in half as the bat, and a ball made by crumpling newspaper.

Give it a try!
