Recreation Popularity Ranking for Toddlers (91–100)
Morning Noon Night game99rank/position
Here’s an introduction to the Morning-Afternoon-Night game.
You can play it anytime, anywhere, with any number of people, so it’s perfect for filling small gaps of time! When the teacher says “morning,” the children stand up.
For “afternoon,” they sit in seiza (kneel with legs folded under).
For “night,” they lie down right where they are.
The fun is in doing each action as quickly as possible.
Once they get used to it, try adding twists like “duck” or “monkey.” How will the children respond? Will they imitate the animals, get confused, or tell you, “Teacher, that’s wrong!”? That uncertainty is part of the fun of this game.
Epicenter Game100rank/position
This is a classic, popular game called the Epicenter Game.
It isn’t uniquely Japanese just because Japan is an earthquake-prone country, but it’s a fun game.
Please give it a try.
How to play: First choose an “oni” (the guesser).
While the oni isn’t looking, choose one child to be the epicenter.
The epicenter child and the other children form a circle, and the oni stands inside it.
The epicenter starts performing some kind of movement, and the other children imitate the epicenter’s movement.
Whenever the epicenter changes the movement, the others follow and change as well.
The oni watches and tries to guess who the epicenter is.
