♪ Tetris – Hiiragi Magnetite
This is a game where players aim to reach the goal as quickly as possible while identifying the colors on the floor.
Short strips of vinyl tape in various colors are stuck to the floor, and players head toward the goal by stepping only on the designated color.
The spacing of the tape is a key point—varying the distances to disrupt stride length helps players focus more on the colors, which is recommended.
If multiple players start at the same time, proceed with caution to avoid collisions from concentrating too much on the colors.
Rock-Paper-Scissors / Tag (1–10)
Sport Tag
When it comes to tag, it’s a classic outdoor game for kids.
The basic rule is that if you get tagged by “it,” you switch roles and chase those who are running away.
There are various versions like Color Tag and High Tag, but today we’re introducing “Sports Tag”! Sports Tag is played by two teams competing to capture treasures located in the opponent’s territory.
There are safe zones where you can’t be tagged, and depending on how you’re tagged, you may have to return to your own side to restart.
These rules make it a fresh and different way to enjoy the game!
Pyramid Rock-Paper-Scissors
A game where teams compete against each other, featuring simple rules that use rock-paper-scissors, is a key highlight.
Each team splits into offense and defense, with the defenders waiting in a formation like a pyramid, where the rows closer to the attackers have more players.
When the start signal is given, the attacking team charges into the opponent’s territory and challenges defenders to rock-paper-scissors in sequence, aiming to defeat the King at the far end.
Offense and defense alternate turns, and the goal is to see how many players can defeat the King within the time limit.
Spiral Rock-Paper-Scissors
Introducing Uzumaki Rock-Paper-Scissors, a team-based game you can enjoy with friends at events.
It’s easy and fun as long as you have a large open space and a bunch of friends.
The rules are simple, so both kids and adults can join in and get excited together.
Draw a big spiral on the ground and split into two teams: one starting at the center and one at the outer edge.
When the game starts, both teams run along the spiral line.
When two players meet, they play rock-paper-scissors.
The loser steps out and the next runner from that team takes their place.
Repeat this process.
If you make it into the opponent’s territory, you win.
There are no complicated rules, so give it a try with everyone!
Rock-paper-scissors tail tag
A game that combines two popular activities! Let me introduce Rock-Paper-Scissors Tail Tag.
First, set up a home base and move about 20 meters away to play rock-paper-scissors.
The winner runs toward their home base, and the loser tries to grab the winner’s tail before they reach it.
Start with one-on-one matches to get used to it, then switch to team battles once everyone’s comfortable—it’ll really amp up the excitement.
Another fun aspect is coming up with strategies with your friends and thinking about how to win as you play.
Give it a try!
King Dodgeball
Let’s try playing a slightly different kind of dodgeball called ‘King Dodge.’ The only difference from regular dodgeball is that there’s a king.
Each team chooses one king, and the team that gets the opposing king out wins.
Everyone except the king protects their king from getting hit by the ball.
It’s a game where you can make a dramatic comeback even when the situation looks bad.
King Tail Tag
Here’s a team-bonding “King’s Tail Tag” game.
Everyone who’s running away faces inward, holds hands, and forms a circle.
One representative inside the circle wears a tail.
The chaser wins if they can grab the representative’s tail! Working together with the teammates in the circle, the representative keeps spinning and moving to prevent the tail from being taken.
Watch the chaser’s movements and rotate right or left to avoid being caught.
Team unity and the chaser’s split-second decisions determine the outcome of the game!
