UFO Tag

@kidschallengeclub♬ UFO – Pink Lady

Spin around and protect the captain! Here’s an idea for a UFO tag game.

It’s a unique game that really tests teamwork! Form teams of three, hold hands, and dodge the tagger so your captain doesn’t get caught.

Choose a captain among the three and have them wear a bib number so the tagger can easily tell who it is—highly recommended.

The key is to hold hands firmly so no one lets go!

Build decision-making skills through play! Here’s a ball battle game idea.

For children, decision-making is an essential skill in everyday life and learning.

By developing the ability to think things through and choose, and to act appropriately based on the situation, they grow more independent and learn to think and make decisions on their own.

This time, let’s nurture decision-making skills while playing a ball battle game.

Pair up in twos and face each other; place some colored balls between you and you’re ready to go! If you lose rock-paper-scissors, run away quickly; if you win, watch your opponent’s movements and throw a ball.

Give it a try!

Party-gathering game

It's fun to play as usual, and you can also connect it to the next activity! 😆😆Childcare#FreelanceNurseryTeacherTemporary custodyTemporary childcareChildcare

No talking to friends allowed! Here’s an idea for a game where you gather teammates.

It’s a fun activity using cards with animal pictures on them.

However, you’re not allowed to talk to your friends during the game! Rely only on the animal sounds depicted on the cards handed out by the teacher or guardian to find others with matching cards.

The tricky part is calling out to your teammates while carefully distinguishing their calls.

Once everyone gets used to the rules, adding a time limit could make it even more exciting!

Cat and Mouse

[You can see the childcare in action] Teacher Rio’s active play [Cat and Mouse]

Which team will win? Here’s a game idea called Cats and Mice.

What you need are designated areas for each team.

Make the most of the room so the children can move around freely and play in a spacious environment.

Split into a Cat team and a Mouse team, and play a game where you try to return to your territory without getting caught by the teacher.

It’s a fun activity that makes kids burst into laughter, with the tension of listening carefully so they don’t mishear, and the exhilarating feeling of running away! In the end, which team will have more members? Give it a try!

Quick Towel Grab Game

Sharpen your judgment and reflexes! Here’s a fun quick-grab towel game idea.

What you’ll need: white towels and flags.

Pair up in twos and sit facing each other across a table.

When the teacher raises a flag, quickly grab a towel.

Once everyone gets used to the rules, add a second or third towel color to make it more exciting! Watch carefully to determine the color of the flag the teacher raises, then find the specified color among the towels on the table and pull it toward you.

Give it a try!

balloon volleyball

Tap the balloon and pom-pom to build motor skills and a sense of balance! Here are some balloon volleyball ideas.

All you need is a net and a balloon.

It’s a fun way to get moving! With this simple game using a net and balloon, kids will react quickly to keep the balloon from falling and try to send it into the opponent’s court.

It not only boosts physical ability but is also a great way to learn cooperation and teamwork.

Give it a try!

gomudan

Gomdan

Here’s how to play Gomu-dan (rubber band jumping).

First, prepare a flat elastic band, and have two people hold the ends.

Let’s start with a simple jump-over game.

Hold the band at ankle height and jump over it.

Even if your feet catch on the band, it’s a success as long as you make it through to the other side.

Try different ways of jumping, like two-footed jumps, backward two-footed jumps, and cartwheel jumps! You can also raise the height to increase the difficulty and excitement.

Be sure to keep the band pulled tight—if it’s slack, it can be dangerous.
