Rhythm Game ‘The Greengrocer’

[Hand-Clap Game] The Greengrocer!! A simple game where you clap to the rhythm☆

The hand game “Yaoya-san” (The Greengrocer) is a rhythm game where you clap only when you hear the name of something that a greengrocer sells.

It can be tricky to instantly judge whether an item would be sold at a greengrocer or not, but it gets fun once you try it.

To help the children listen closely, you can vary the strength and accent of your words, or say similar-sounding words that are easy to confuse—those twists should make it even more enjoyable.

Play song ‘On the Bus’Sakushi/Sakkyoku: Taniguchi Kunihiro

Kasama Tomobe Tomobe Kindergarten Childcare Information: “Hand Play & Song Play Vol. 39 – Riding the Bus”

When it comes to things little kids love, both boys and girls, vehicles like cars and buses are at the top of the list.

This is perfect for children who love going out or often draw buses and cars in their pictures.

This song is a fun activity where you sit side by side with your child and pretend to drive a bus with simple motions.

You can also place the child on someone’s lap and bounce your legs to mimic the bus’s vibrations—kids will be delighted.

It’s a great recommendation for rainy days or times when you can’t go outside.

Shopping at the bakerySakushi: Sakura Tomoko / Sakkyoku: Ozawa Tatsuyuki

[Hand Play] Going Shopping at the Bakery ♪ (Maatan)

While playing both the customer and the baker, you can enjoy a fun hand-play activity set in a bakery—perhaps a relatively new song in the hand-play repertoire.

As you rhythmically act it out, you express different types of bread through gestures.

It might also be fun to come up with new kinds of bread yourselves and add corresponding gestures.
