Free Throw Game

Recreation for Seniors: A Sure-Fire Hit! A Seated Free-Throw Game Anyone Can Enjoy

It’s a game where you throw balls toward baskets that have assigned point values and compete on the total score.

The higher the point value of a basket, the harder it is to land a ball in it, so controlling your throwing power is key to getting a high score.

Since the rules allow a ball to bounce before going in, unexpected points can happen, and awkward bounces that miss the basket can also add excitement.

Let’s encourage players to focus on controlling the force needed to reach the basket and on moving their bodies in ways that effectively transfer that force to the ball.

Chaotic Balloon Volleyball

♬ Kids pets entertaining sports day – SOUND BANK

It’s a game where two teams sit facing each other across a table and try to knock as many balloons as possible into the opponent’s side.

With so many balloons in play, players must fend off attacks while batting balloons away, so quick hand movements are put to the test.

During the time limit, you’re constantly chasing balloons with your hands, creating a lively atmosphere.

By eagerly reaching for the colorful balloons, the game not only trains physical movement but also offers visual enjoyment.

♪ Original Song – The Cheerful Section Chief’s Recreation – The Cheerful Section Chief’s Recreation

This is a game where you keep a balloon volleyball rally going while also keeping track of how many times you can send the balloon through a ring installed above.

By adding an extra element to the rally, players can focus more on the game, and aiming to hit the balloon upward can also help improve posture.

Quick decisions are important too—such as whether you should be the one to put the balloon through the ring or hit it to a spot that makes it easier for someone else to do so.

Splitting into teams and taking on the challenge together may also be a key point for boosting fun, as it helps teammates feel a stronger bond.

Balloon volleyball with newspaper-stick bats

Recreation for seniors / Activities during the COVID-19 pandemic / Guaranteed crowd-pleaser: Balloon volleyball using newspaper-stick paddles

Balloon volleyball played using rolled-up newspaper sticks lets you reach farther with the tool, while also challenging more delicate control of force.

It’s also important to treat the table like a volleyball court: set up a proper net in the middle so you can enjoy the volleyball atmosphere.

The higher the net, the more it encourages players to hit the balloon upward, which naturally directs their gaze up and can help improve posture.

Rather than focusing on winning, encouraging players to keep the rally going will likely help them enjoy it for longer.

Intense Balloon Volleyball

[Day Service Recreation] An evolved version of balloon volleyball! #DayService #DayServiceRecreation

It’s the same as balloon volleyball in that you keep the rally going without letting the balloon drop, but the only change is the number of balloons.

Since you’ll be chasing two balloons, not only your striking motion but also your concentration and dynamic vision will be tested.

A key point is that the balloons won’t necessarily be in the same place—when they fly apart, you’ll follow them with your head and gaze, so your body will likely loosen up as the game goes on.

As the number of balloons increases, the game becomes more intense and demands greater concentration, so start with a small number and gradually work your way up.

Balloon basket

Senior Activity: Balloon Basketball!

Let’s enjoy playing basketball using balloons.

Basketball is often covered on TV and in newspapers, isn’t it? Many older adults are probably familiar with it as well.

Have the seniors sit on chairs in a circle and try to put balloons into a hoop suspended in the center.

You can also split them into left and right sides and play as teams.

Some seniors may have enjoyed basketball in the past.

Reminiscing about those days will likely make it even more exciting.

Balloon volleyball box-in

Balloon Relay #Recreation #DayServiceRecreation #DayService #Nichinan #Miyazaki

This is a game where you use a handheld uchiwa fan to hit a balloon upward and try to get it into a box placed in the center of the table.

Because the box is positioned out of arm’s reach, your control over how you launch the balloon is really put to the test.

People closer to the box end up moving their hands more, so it’s best to have everyone try multiple rounds, changing the starting positions and the box’s position to keep the balloon circulating evenly.

You can also adjust the box’s size and height to change the difficulty and help players focus even more.
