I’ve worked in a variety of roles—regardless of pro or amateur settings—including live event PA, cameraman for video and photography, restaurant staff, and logistics center staff. I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

Forest school is a big event for elementary school children.

Some kids might already be bubbling with excitement and feeling fidgety, even though it’s still quite a while away on the calendar.

In this article, we’ve put together games and recreational activities we’d love for you to enjoy at forest school.

We’ve selected options you can enjoy outdoors and activities you can do gathered around a campfire.

Let’s all make the most of this extraordinary experience that’s different from everyday school life!

Air-reading game

An absolute crowd-pleasing vibe-reading game! Perfect for changing up your team’s atmosphere! [Play Warm-Up 25] #TsukoTraining #Icebreaker #WarmingUp #FunGames

Air-reading game

Let’s read the room so we don’t overlap with our friends! Here’s an idea for a “reading the room” game.

It’s a unique game that helps elementary school students develop the ability to act while watching the timing and what’s happening around them.

In a group of 4–5 players sitting in a circle, you take turns standing up while calling out numbers.

The rule is simple, but what matters is avoiding overlapping timing with your friends.

Through the game, kids can build awareness of others and quick decision-making skills.

The atmosphere is tense at the start, but when two people stand up at the same time, everyone can’t help bursting into laughter!

Teleportation Game

[DAY 3] Exciting! Instant Teleportation Game — “YouTube Kahokku LiNK in Summer Vacation”

Teleportation Game

It’s a game that tests each player’s quick reflexes as they swiftly move to the next spot to keep a newspaper stick from falling.

You stand the stick up, move to the adjacent stick, grab it before it falls to support it, and anyone who lets a stick fall is eliminated.

The difficulty of supporting the stick changes depending on the moving distance and how the sticks are set up, so by adjusting those factors, a wider range of ages can enjoy the game.

It could also be exciting to try a challenge mode where players test their limits to see how far they can go without letting the stick fall.
