[For Kids] Fun Either Way: A Collection of Rock-Paper-Scissors Game Ideas

Aiko, then go!

Rock-Paper-Scissors Twist Kids Can Enjoy: Aiko de Don!

Let’s enjoy a reflex-based game! Here’s an idea for Aikode-Don.

This is a one-on-one game where you face each other and start in a seiza (kneeling) position.

With rock-paper-scissors, people usually focus on winning or losing, but in this game the key moment is when it’s a tie! The instant you both throw the same hand (a tie), try to stand up faster than your opponent! Once you get used to the game, try changing the sitting style to gym sit (hugging knees) or long sit with legs extended.

You can also increase the difficulty by adding a rule that you must stand up without using your hands!

Balance Rock-Paper-Scissors Survival

🧡No.78 [Parent-Child Play / Boosting Motor Skills] “Balance Rock-Paper-Scissors Survival” The playing area gets smaller and smaller 😱 Can you make it through on one-legged balance?!

In this game, each participant uses one sheet of newspaper.

First, as preparation, each participant spreads out their newspaper and stands on it.

When the game starts, you play rock-paper-scissors with your designated opponent.

If you win, you wait as you are; if you lose, fold your newspaper once.

Repeat this process: the player who can no longer stand on their own territory—the newspaper—loses.

If you keep losing, the area you can stand on gets smaller, so you’ll end up standing on one foot or on tiptoe.

It seems like balance will be the key to pulling off a comeback victory.

Gyoza Rock-Paper-Scissors

[Play] Gyoza Rock-Paper-Scissors for 3 Players [Daycare/Kindergarten]

Let’s each throw out something different with rock-paper-scissors! Here’s an idea for Gyoza Janken.

In this game, rock is meat, scissors are chives, and paper is wrappers.

At the cue “Let’s make gyoza!”, everyone shows rock, scissors, or paper.

If all three are different, the gyoza is complete—shout “Let’s eat!” with energy! If everyone shows the same thing, shout “There’s only ◯◯!” If there are only two types shown, shout “We’re missing ◯◯!” It’s a unique game for groups of three!

Rock-Paper-Scissors Train Game

Yanagi Kindergarten, good friends of the Chick Class! Let’s play energetically!

Let me introduce the Rock-Paper-Scissors Train game.

Move around the room pretending to be a freight train to the music of a freight train.

When the music stops, play rock-paper-scissors with a friend.

The person who loses places their hands on the winner’s shoulders, boards the same train, and sets off together.

Repeat this process to add more friends to your freight train.

When everyone is riding on the same train and departs together at the end, the game is complete.

Try speeding up or slowing down the music to match the children’s pace and have fun!

Don Janken

[Batting Average 100% Class Activity] Don-Janken | It gets so hyped that it’s almost a problem.

A game everyone can enjoy, from kids to adults! Here’s an idea for “Don Janken.” Split into two teams; the team that reaches the opponent’s territory first wins.

When you do rock-paper-scissors, the chant is “Don janken pon!” This idea requires almost no preparation and works great with large groups—that’s the key recommendation.

However, because players can get too fixated on winning, disputes may arise near the territory line, so it’s best for adults to make the final call on wins and losses.

Give it a try!

This is a tag game for pairs.

The rules are very simple: after playing rock-paper-scissors, the winner chases the loser! The loser should run away immediately.

Set a line in advance that counts as a win if the runner makes it there.

Because you have to instantly judge whether you won or lost and act right away, it seems simple but actually makes you use your head more than you’d expect.

It’s also a game that builds concentration.

Even with a large group, you can have everyone start side by side and play simultaneously in a large space like a gym.
