Paper Drop Game

DIY crafts, analog games, handmade toys: Paper Drop Game [Ver.1] #Shorts @retokura @PenVideoChannel

Let’s make a “Paper Drop Game” by folding and cutting paper! The fun starts even before you play: fold paper to create the basic game board, and cut pieces of paper to make the lifeblood of the game.

Once you’ve written numbers on the folded paper with a pen, you’re ready to begin.

The rules are simple: use the paper’s creases to launch the paper pieces and aim for a high score.

It’s great because you can repurpose scrap paper! See how high a score you can get—give it a try!

playing with a ball

[Indoors OK] Solo Ball Games: 5 Recommended Picks Even Toddlers Can Do

Here are five ball games you can play by yourself! First: kick the ball yourself, run, and pass it through your legs.

You’ll use your head too, since you have to judge how hard to kick.

Second: toss the ball up and pass it through your arms—moving your body is the key.

Third: balance one ball on top of another and keep it still.

Fourth: hold the ball over your head, bend backward, pass it through your legs, and catch it—great for flexibility.

Lastly, a game with a hula hoop! While the hoop is spinning, move the ball.

You don’t need to throw or kick hard to enjoy any of these, so give them a try!

3D maze

Bursting into laughter as we get zapped the moment we mess up in a 3D maze game!! [Tokai On Air]

It’s not a maze drawn on paper, but one where you roll a steel ball along a three-dimensional course.

There are flat, box-shaped versions as well as spherical ones.

Unlike ordinary mazes where you just find a path to the goal, this type demands balance and manual dexterity, so you can easily get absorbed and lose track of time.
