Tag Rugby Game

Let me introduce a tag rugby game.
Tag rugby is a sport based on rugby in which, instead of tackling an opponent, the game progresses by pulling a tag attached to the player’s waist.
For example, you can set up three cones and play a game where players run laps around the cones while trying to pull each other’s tags—there are many different ways to enjoy tag rugby.
Give it a try and incorporate it into your activities!
kickball

Kick baseball is a game that combines baseball and soccer.
The rules are mostly the same as baseball, but instead of hitting a big ball with a bat, you kick it.
Fielders catch the ball with their bare hands.
One difference from regular baseball is that a runner is out if a fielder throws the ball and hits them.
Take turns switching between defense and offense and have fun!
soccer

Team sports are perfect for building teamwork, aren’t they? You come up with strategies, call out to each other, and unite as one to strive for a win.
Soccer is ideal for that—it’s a sport you can enjoy even with a large group by rotating players.
Each position has its own role, letting everyone make the most of their strengths, and thinking through that together is fun and brings the team together.
It’s also enjoyable for spectators, and cheering naturally gets intense—that’s one of soccer’s great appeals.
volleyball

Volleyball can be played indoors, but you will need a court, a net, and a ball.
There are basically two formats: six-player and nine-player.
To hold a match, you’ll need at least 12 to 18 people.
The duration is about 2 to 2.5 hours for a best-of-five in the six-player format, and about 1 to 1.5 hours for a best-of-three in the nine-player format.
You can look up the detailed rules, but since the rules are widely known, it’s easy for adults to lead, and children can quickly understand and enjoy the game.
Some practice for plays like serving and receiving may be necessary.
Ball arranging game

How about playing tic-tac-toe? It’s the game where you draw a 3×3 grid on paper, mark O’s and X’s, and the first person to line up three in a row wins.
Let’s try a version where we use balls and move our bodies! Use three balls in two colors.
After placing a ball, the player returns to their team’s line, tags the next person, and then that next person can go place a ball.
Try to line up three in a row, but don’t forget to play defense to keep the other team from making a line, too.
baseball

The shape of the ball used changes depending on the age at which the sport is played.
Broadly speaking, baseball played by children is mainly rubber-ball (soft) baseball.
You need a large field and at least 18 players in total across both teams.
The duration is roughly 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours 30 minutes.
It’s ideal as an opportunity for kids to interact and learn team play, and because the rules are widely known and adults can cheer passionately, one of baseball’s attractions is that it enables communication across generations.
In conclusion
We’ve introduced a wide variety of team-based games you can enjoy indoors.
They combine physical activity and teamwork in just the right balance, making them fun for all ages.
Since you can start easily without worrying about the weather, give them a try with your friends and family.
Create wonderful memories and strengthen your bonds with these indoor games!
