A quick-reaction game that’s fun for both kids and adults
Choose one representative from the participants, and have everyone else close their eyes.
The representative will instruct, “Raise your hand when you hear a cat’s meow,” so those with their eyes closed should raise their hand immediately when they hear the cat sound.
If animal sounds are difficult, using instrument sounds or saying a specific word is fine too.
It’s a simple game, but you can make it more challenging and exciting by adding feints, like using a dog’s bark instead of a cat’s meow.
Relying solely on sound with your vision blocked is surprisingly difficult, so it seems like a good brain-training activity.
Showa-era game! “Rice Field Character T”
Imagine the kanji “田” and draw four large square grids on the ground.
Decide one person to be ‘It’ with rock-paper-scissors, then start the game.
‘It’ moves along the cross-shaped lines at the center of the squares to catch the others.
The players choose one of the squares as their starting point, move clockwise from square to square, and return to their starting point.
If someone is caught by ‘It’ along the way, that person becomes the next ‘It’ and the game restarts from the beginning.
‘It’ is not allowed to jump between lines; they must move only along the lines.
Outdoor activities: fun games everyone can play together!
This is a game called “Catch.” Choose one person to be the leader, and have the other participants form a circle.
Hold out your right hand with the palm facing up toward the person on your right, and place your left index finger on the palm of the person to your left.
When the leader says “Catch,” quickly close your right hand, and with your left hand, try to pull your index finger away so it doesn’t get caught.
The leader should vary the timing by stretching out “Ca, ca, caaaatch…” or throw in feints by saying something like “Cat!” instead.
It’s a simple game that helps break the ice and get everyone excited, even with people you’re meeting for the first time.
Territory game! S-Ken
A game called “S-Ken,” where teams compete to steal a treasure from territories drawn in a large S-shape.
Participants split into two teams and start from their respective sides.
Decide roles in advance: who will defend your territory and who will steal the enemy’s treasure.
When the start signal is given, move by hopping on one foot from outside the S to the enemy’s territory.
Once you enter the enemy’s area, you can move with both feet, so quickly grab the treasure.
The square spaces near the enemy territory are safe zones where you can stand on both feet and rest.
Those in your own territory should push enemies out of your area and protect the treasure.
The treasure can be anything like a stone on the ground.
Fun in a group! Daikon-pulling game
Divide into two teams: the radishes and the pullers.
The radish team lies face down in a circle and links arms firmly.
When you’re ready, the puller team starts pulling the radishes.
Only pull by the legs—be careful not to pull on clothing.
If a radish doesn’t come out easily, work together, such as having two people pull one radish.
You can decide that pulling out all the radishes within the time limit wins, or let the child who gets pulled out become the next radish.
Play together! 10-Second Bomb Game!
@wakuwaku_idea Elderly Recreation: Simple and Super Fun 10-Second Bomb GameElderlyRecreationTranslationFun
♪ Original song – Idea Wakuwaku Rehabilitation – Idea Wakuwaku Rehabilitation
This is a simple, easy-to-understand recreation where you pass a ball to others within a time limit! Ten people form a circle and keep passing a ball or balloon to the person next to them.
Once you get used to it, you can also throw or pass the ball or balloon to a specific person you’re aiming for.
When the timer signaling the time limit goes off, the person holding the ball or balloon loses! It’s also fun for each person to come up with and try out their own strategy.
It’s a heart-pounding game that treats the ball or balloon like a bomb.
Drawing Telephone Game
It seems like playing telephone with drawings is more challenging than using text or voice.
It’s the kind of game where you can participate with excitement, wondering if the theme will make it all the way from the starter to the final person.
In the video, they try the game online, but it also looks easy to adapt as a recreational activity using paper and pens! If children and adults are on the same team, the key might be the order in which they take turns in the drawing telephone game.
