Outdoor games for large groups. Fun, exciting games for kids.

Number Dodge

numbered badge

All participants wear numbers and play dodgeball.

Players are numbered sequentially starting from 1.

If you hit someone with a larger number than yours, a number of players equal to the difference between the two numbers must move to the outer field.

For example, if the player with number 3 hits the opposing player with number 6, three players from the opposing team go to the outer field.

If you hit someone with the same number as yours or a smaller number, only that person moves to the outer field.

Higher-numbered players are easier targets, so plan a strategy and assign your team’s numbers wisely!

Hand-Holding Tag

Hand-Holding Tag

This is a game created as a variation of tag.

You can tell that while the children were playing, they were thinking, “How can we make tag even more fun?” Their imagination never fails to excite me.

You can play it anywhere as long as you have a space about the size of a park.

What makes it different from regular tag is that when someone is tagged, they hold hands with the tagger and keep playing as part of the game.

As time goes on, the chain of taggers holding hands gets longer.

The last person remaining wins.

Because the rule is to hold hands, it also seems like a good activity for building communication with new students!

Transformation Group Relay

Fun Warm-Up 2 [Game-Style Warm-Up]

A fun activity that also works as a pre-sport warm-up is the “Modified Group Relay.” Because it’s done in groups, communication is key! Form a line of 5–7 people standing single file, leaving space between each person.

Use your whole body with movements like weaving through the gaps between people with a zigzag run, jumping over teammates who are lying down, and crawling under teammates who are prone.

It’s a relay format, so race to see which team finishes all the same movements first! It’s great for school events and recreational activities, so give it a try.

long rope jumping

A new record with the long rope! The children are overjoyed!

There are probably many people who say, “I’m not good at single jump rope, but I can do double dutch (long rope)!” I remember doing it in elementary school PE and at class matches in junior high.

It’s great to have a game that brings everyone together.

If it’s the type where people take turns running into the rope one by one, you compete on how many people can get through successfully.

If it’s the type where about ten people jump at once, you compete on how many consecutive jumps you can do.

The key to having fun is not pinpointing who got caught in the rope.

Once you start looking for the “culprit,” the fun really disappears.

In fact, the people turning the long rope are more important, and tall, strong people are said to be best suited for it.

It could be a great icebreaker for events with new students or new members.

Wouldn’t it be nice to romp around and enjoy it under the sun?

circular dodgeball

circular dodgeball

There are many games derived from regular dodgeball, such as Super Dodgeball and Donut Dodgeball.

That just shows how popular the sport/game is with so many people.

I’d love to enjoy it outdoors on a sunny day.

If you want to increase physical activity, I recommend “circular dodgeball.” Instead of a square court, you play in a circle, and because you can’t tell where you’ll be targeted from, you end up looking around and moving more.

If you’re playing coed, it might be good to add handicaps like “men must throw with their left hand.” It’s also important to confirm the rule “don’t aim above the neck!”
