[Elementary School] Quick and Easy! Indoor Recreational Activities Perfect for Lower Grades

Hello goodbye game

Hello Goodbye from “The Latest Edition: The Most Fun Recreation Games”

It’s a game you can play sitting in a circle of chairs.

When you pass the ball to the person on your right, you say “Hello” as you hand it over.

Conversely, when you pass it to the person on your left, you say “Goodbye.” Since greetings naturally come out, it creates a friendly, relaxed atmosphere.

Hiragana Rearrangement Quiz

[Hiragana Rearrangement Quiz] Rearrange the characters to complete the words! A simple game for seniors! [Brain Training & Dementia Prevention] #10

A quiz that kids love! This “Hiragana Rearrangement Quiz” challenges you to rearrange scrambled hiragana to find the correct word.

Without Katakana

[At-Home Time] Vocabulary Matters! How can you communicate without using katakana!? [Game]

How about “Katakana-nashi” as a simple game you can play at home? In this game, the questioner explains a katakana loanword written on a card without using any katakana, and the guessers listen to the description and try to figure out the word.

You can, of course, use the commercially available Katakana-nashi set, or make your own cards by writing katakana loanwords on pieces of paper.

It’s fun—and surprisingly challenging—to describe words you use casually every day without using katakana! It’s an easy game that both adults and children can enjoy together.

Nanjamonja Game

Family game time ♡ Big laughs with Namco-Nanja Monja ☆ Himawari-CH

Nanjamonja, the game that became a hot topic after popular YouTubers made videos about it.

You play using cards featuring cute characters.

Players draw one card at a time from a face-down stack and give a name to the character that appears.

When a character that has already been named comes up again, you have to call out the name that was given to that character.

The person who says the name first gets all the cards in the pile, and the player with the most cards at the end wins.

It’s a game that tests your memory, and kids are often surprisingly good at these! It’s fun in two ways: coming up with names and remembering them.

Funny Face Match

Snow Man [Funny Face Match!?] 100-Yen Shop Board Game... Let’s do it!!

A card game called “Funny Face Match” sold at 100-yen shops.

The dealer draws a blue card and, without looking at it, holds it to their forehead.

Everyone else can see it, so they make a facial expression they think matches the card.

The dealer looks at those funny faces and chooses the card they think it is from the face-up orange cards on the table.

If they’re correct, they give the orange card to the person whose expression was closest to the card’s face, and the player with the most cards wins.

Competing is fun, of course, but it’s also a card game where just watching the funny faces is entertaining.
