Ball-carrying game

Let’s have fun by combining items you already have at home! Here are some ideas for a ball-carrying game.
Through play, kids can learn the importance—and the challenge—of working together to reach a goal.
The rules are simple: two people hold a towel together to carry a ball and place it into a basket or bag.
It’s great for building concentration and balance.
It’s easy to do indoors, so you can enjoy it with your child or friends and feel a sense of accomplishment together.
Once you get used to it, try customizing the course!
Capsule Toy Gacha Treasure Hunt
Let’s search for the alien’s hidden code and find the treasure! Here’s an idea for a treasure hunt using gacha capsule toys.
It seems aliens came by and hid codes inside the capsules.
Find all the hidden capsules and decipher the code.
Adjust the difficulty of the code to suit the children participating.
If children of different ages are joining, it might be fun to include a team activity, like a group game, so they can cooperate.
Team Battle Treasure Hunt
Let’s have fun trading riddles! Here’s an idea for a team-based treasure hunt battle.
It’s an exciting concept that sparks cooperation and creativity! Split into a team that creates riddles and a team that solves them to find the next clue, all aiming for the treasure.
By playing this game, you’ll not only boost your problem-solving and reasoning skills, but also learn the importance of teamwork and communication.
The appeal lies in getting absorbed in solving puzzles together with your teammates and enjoying a real sense of accomplishment.
In the video, the game is played in a model house, but try arranging a version for your own home.
Air Cannon Slack Out
How about enjoying the well-known “Strike Out” game from variety shows indoors, easily and safely? By making an air cannon using a plastic bottle, even elementary school kids can take on the game with confidence! You can also make the strike-out targets easily by cutting and shaping plastic boards.
It might be fun for everyone to handcraft this game together during the preparation phase of your party.
Above all, by working together as a class to make it by hand, you’ll grow attached to the game and strengthen your bonds.
Who’s the liar! Liar Game
It’s a fun team-based game of bluffing through conversation.
For example, you set up a situation where three people drink from cups, and only one of them gets a sour drink.
The person who drank the sour one reacts in a way to avoid being found out, while the opposing team guesses who it was based on their reactions and behavior.
Carefully observing reactions and words is key to the game.
There are various tricks you can try—like acting as if you’re lying on purpose—so experimenting with different tactics can be interesting.
You might even discover some surprising acting skills among the participants.
Treasure Hunt in a Haunted House
Let’s create a homemade haunted house inside your home! Here are some ideas for a treasure hunt in your haunted house.
They’re wonderful for sparking kids’ sense of adventure and creativity! Try setting up a haunted house in a dark room or a quiet corner.
The process of making it is fun, too! Following a series of clues to search for treasure in your DIY haunted house sounds exciting, doesn’t it? Since it’s easy to do at home, it’s a perfect idea not only for Halloween or special events, but also for weekends.
Games you can play while maintaining social distancing
We still don’t know how long COVID-19’s rampage will continue.
Just when you think, “Has it settled down?” it surges again—what a troublesome disease.
So here are some games you can play while keeping social distance.
The first is the “Variety Bingo Game.” Instead of writing numbers in the bingo squares, you pick a theme—like foods or country names—and write whatever you like.
It’s sure to be more exciting than number bingo.
The second is the “Draw from Imagination Game.” You make illustrations of things you kind of know but not really—like a platypus or star fruit.
Even if you’re not good at drawing, no problem—the weirder your drawings get, the more fun it is!
Plastic Bag Carpet Race
This is a two-person game called the Plastic-Bag Carpet Race.
One person stands on a plastic bag placed on the floor.
The other person squats and holds both front corners of the bag.
At the start signal, the person on top jumps, and while they’re in the air, the person below pulls the bag forward.
The jumper must land back on the bag.
Turn it into a team relay to make it fun for a large group.
Telephone game
How about we all try playing the Telephone Game? It works with any number of people, whether a small group or a large one.
Starting from the first person, you whisper a sentence to the next person so others can’t hear.
Each person then whispers exactly what they heard to the next.
The last person performs what they were told in front of everyone.
Now, did the message make it to the last person correctly?
Word association game
A great scene to recommend for deepening bonds with classmates in the classroom is a word association game.
You choose a theme like objects or people’s names, then describe it in other words and have others guess it.
You can enjoy it in many ways—by holding a team competition with the whole class or playing in small groups of friends.
It doesn’t require any materials, so it’s also nice that it doesn’t take time to prepare.
It’s also a good idea to use trending anime or products as themes.
How about trying a game that also gives your brain a workout?
