Rolling Dodgeball

As the name suggests, rolling dodge is a rolled-ball version of dodgeball.

Dodging balls that roll toward you is very effective practice for tracking moving objects with your eyes.

And because rolled balls are slower than thrown ones, it’s less likely to cause fear such as “it hurt when the ball hit me” or “I was scared.” Another plus is that rolling dodgeball is perfect for indoor play.

Play in a spacious area with good traction, such as one covered with mats.

Balance game72rank/position

Balance game 👹 This material will be distributed via an Instagram subscription ✨ You can also play by stacking plastic bottle caps or sponges 🌼Made in FebruarySetsubun craftSetsubun#HandmadeToyspaper plate#AtHomePlayPaper Plate Craft

Oria – niKu

Here’s an idea for a simple and fun “balance game.” All you need are a paper plate and some paper, like copier paper.

First, fold the paper plate in half.

Then, make additional folds on both sides of the center crease, leaving a 2 cm gap from the center on each side.

Fold along those side creases to create mountain folds, and secure the plate with tape so it doesn’t open.

That completes the base for the balance game.

Next, cut the copier paper into strips.

Glue the ends together to form squares, creating the pieces you’ll place on the base.

To play, set the base with the rim of the paper plate facing down, then place the square pieces on top while keeping the balance.

PET bottle circuit73rank/position

With its colorful look, it really lifts your spirits! Let me introduce an idea for a PET-bottle circuit.

All you need are 2-liter plastic bottles, tape, and paint.

Many people find it challenging to prepare all the equipment for circuit activities.

This idea is appealing because it makes use of plastic bottles, so there’s no need to buy new equipment.

Try creating a course where you walk across the tops of plastic bottles filled with brightly colored water, keeping your balance as you go!

Moving House Game74rank/position

[For toddlers, simple, movement play] Moving House Game

Let’s move to a distant base! Here’s an idea for a “Moving House” game.

In this game, the cue word is “Moving House,” and children simply move from one mat to another.

Once they get used to it, teachers or guardians can try to interrupt them along the course.

The fun part is seeing whether they can complete the move while avoiding the teachers or guardians! It’s also a great idea for deepening bonds among the children by giving them a shared goal.

[Handmade Toy] “Pull Toy”

Some gacha capsules come with a type that has four holes.

How about using one of those to make a pull toy? For this, thread a string into one hole of the capsule, bring it out through another hole, and tie it off.

This creates a toy where pulling one string makes the string in another hole get shorter.

That way, you can enjoy the pulling action while playing, without worrying about the string getting tangled somewhere.

You can also put beads inside the capsule to enjoy the sound as well.

Jump, everyone!76rank/position

[Recreation] Everyone Jump!! Various versions. Gymnastics class

It’s a game where everyone forms a circle, holds hands, and jumps in different directions.

Jumping helps develop concentration and a sense of balance.

By moving while listening to the teacher’s instructions, children can build their listening skills and their ability to think about how to move.

When calling out, speak clearly, loudly, and energetically.

Let’s enjoy jump play together—moving our heads as we jump and trying things like hopping on one foot or jumping with both feet.

Rokumushi77rank/position

Rokumushi

Are you familiar with the traditional playground game called “Rokumushi”? It has simple rules, but it’s a thrilling, heart-pounding ball game.

Draw a circle at each end of a space about 20 meters apart, and have one person stand inside each circle.

These two are “it.” The other children gather in one of the circles, and while the two “it” players are playing catch with the ball, everyone else tries to run to the other circle.

Each successful crossing counts as “ichimushi” (one), and if you go back and forth until you reach “rokumushi” (six), you win.

If you’re hit by the ball while running back and forth, switch roles and become “it.” Because it’s a folk game, the rules can vary a bit by region, but it sounds like a lot of fun, doesn’t it?
