Party games that are a hit at kindergartens and nursery schools

Spoon Relay

[Indoor Play] [Ball Carrying] Introducing Indoor Play! Part 2

This is a relay-style party game where players split into several teams and carry a ping-pong ball on a ladle.

You can enjoy it on a straight course, or add variety with turnarounds using cones and curves.

Small, light objects like ping-pong balls tend to fall off easily due to wind resistance while running, but using something more stable like a beanbag makes it less likely to fall from the ladle, so even young children can enjoy it.

For teams with mixed ages, incorporate handicaps wisely so everyone can have fun.

Newspaper Battle

Physical activity play to enhance children's motor skills: 8. Newspaper play (Newspaper Battle)

First, roll up sheets of newspaper to make lots of newspaper balls in advance.

Split into two teams, and each team throws their own newspaper balls into the opponent’s territory.

Set a time limit, and when time is up, the team that has thrown more newspaper balls into the enemy territory wins.

Since both teams keep tossing balls into the opponent’s side, balls keep coming back into your own territory no matter how much you throw, making it a thrilling and exciting party game.

Denden parent-and-child thumb

From Oyako Yubi Denden, “Latest and Most Fun Recreation Games”

First, stick out your right thumb and your left pinky.

Keeping that pose, sing the children’s song “Katatsumuri” and, in time with the rhythm, alternately switch the extended fingers between your hands.

You can adjust the difficulty by changing the singing speed, so once you get used to it, speeding up should make it even more exciting.
