♪ Original Song – Kotoba no Kyōshitsu Sora Mame Kids – Teacher Sora Mame

It’s simple but tricky—that’s what makes it fun! Here’s an idea for a game where what you say and what you do are opposites.

A teacher or guardian plays the role of the caller, giving directions like forward, backward, left, and right.

The children imitate what the caller says, but perform the opposite movement.

It’s a unique game! At first, it’s best to go slowly and carefully.

Once everyone gets used to it, try speeding up the tempo or adapting it into a three-person team match to make it more exciting.

Rhythm Play

Sakura Sakurambo Rhythm Play Senior Class Rhythm – Staff Training (3) July 2, 2021

Let’s try playing by moving our bodies to the rhythm! Rhythm play includes making sounds with your own body—like clapping your hands or stomping your feet—and moving along to the piano played by the teacher.

You can vary your movements to match the music’s dynamics, making them bigger or smaller, and keep moving while the music is playing, then stop sharply when the music stops.

Music lets you play in many different ways.

It’s also great to try instruments: use castanets or tambourines found in nurseries and kindergartens, or make your own instruments with items like plastic bottles and try playing them.

There are many ways to enjoy rhythm play, so try different activities suited to the child’s age.

Nursery School Exploration!

[Nursery/Kindergarten] Nursery Exploration!! April–May Birthday Party Event

What kind of teachers are in which rooms? Here are some ideas for a preschool exploration! It’s sure to excite not only children who are new or transferring, but also those who are already familiar with the preschool.

With fluttering hearts, let’s explore the preschool together with friends and teachers while wondering, “What do we do in this room?” and “Is it okay to go in?” It can also be a great opportunity to learn rules, such as the promises to keep in rooms with tiny babies or in rooms with a kitchen.

Animal Role-Playing Game

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

This is a circuit-play activity where children pretend to be different animals as they move through a course and clear obstacles.

Use long benches, colored cones, and blocks to create the course and set up obstacles.

Since they crawl on all fours or jump while acting like animals, they can get plenty of exercise even indoors.

Imitating a flamingo by standing on one leg also helps develop balance.

It might be great for expanding children’s interests to have them try animals they don’t know, too.

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!
