[For Kids] Indoor Fun! Large-Group Recreational Activities and Games

Come-here game

[Toddler Play] “Come here, come here” game — a play activity that even 3-year-olds can do!

Even though the rules are super simple, let’s try playing the “Come Here, Come Here Game,” which kids are guaranteed to love! Divide into a teacher and children.

The teacher gently beckons to the children, saying “Come here, come here.” While the teacher is saying it, the children move slowly toward the teacher without running.

When the teacher suddenly says, “Come here, come here…

It’s a ghost!” the children have to run away so they don’t get caught.

Once everyone gets used to it, you can make it even more exciting by faking them out with similar-sounding words to “ghost,” like “pot” or “mother.”

drawing relay

[Drawing Relay 🎨] A telephone game with pictures! If we fail… 🍽️😱 / epi.267 #ChoTokimekiSendenbu #ChoTokisen

Here’s a drawing relay that everyone can get excited about.

Split into teams, and only the first person looks at the prompt.

The first person draws the prompt and passes it on to the next player.

The next player interprets the drawing and conveys it to the following player with another drawing.

The team whose final player’s drawing matches the original prompt the fastest wins.

It’s best to use simple prompts that are easy for kids to understand.

You can enjoy this game indoors or outdoors, so grab some paper and felt-tip pens and give it a try!

Dodgeball (line dodgeball)

Coordination Training Junior: Dodgeball (Hit-and-Out)

Here’s an introduction to “Nakaa-te,” a game that’s great fun with a large group.

Many of you may have played it when you were little.

While the finer rules can vary by age and experience, the basic idea is simple: players are divided into those inside and outside a boundary, and the people on the outside throw a ball to try to hit the people on the inside.

You can tweak it endlessly—make the boundary a square or a circle, use a larger or smaller ball, and so on.

If any children are afraid of getting hit, try using a soft ball so it doesn’t hurt.

You can play with as few as three people, so give it a try!

Animal Role-Playing Game

[Age 4] Animal Role-Playing Game — Body-Building Games for 4-Year-Olds | Torikai Yui-Kindergarten [Nursery School/Kindergarten]

Let me introduce the Animal Role-Play Game, where you pretend to be animals.

The rules are simple: you become the animal given as the prompt and play by running around cones or avoiding obstacles.

Because you move your whole body, it can really liven up parties and gatherings.

Wearing animal masks or making animal sounds while you play is also recommended.

When you start the game, make sure to secure a spacious area and play safely to avoid injuries!

Color Touch Game

[Brain Training] Color Touch Game that even preschoolers can play

Move your body while training your memory! Here’s a color touch game idea.

All you need are hula hoops and color markers.

It’s a simple and fun game that kids as young as three can enjoy! Using the hula hoops and color markers, the rule is to touch the color specified by the teacher and then return to your base.

It’s great because kids can move their bodies while memorizing colors.

Start with one color, and as they get used to it, increase to two or three colors to naturally boost memory and reaction speed.

Give it a try!
