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!

River Crossing Tail Tag

River Crossing Tail Tag

Let me introduce a tail-tag river-crossing game that gets your heart racing when you cross the river.

Create a “river” using mats or tape.

The tagger waits on the bank.

The runners attach a tail to their backside and dash across the river with as much momentum as they can.

The tagger’s chance to grab a tail is when the runners are crossing the river! You’ll need explosive speed and clever evasive moves.

If you make it cleanly across the river, you succeed.

The tagger then waits for the next person to come and cross.

Setting a time limit can make the game even more exciting.

Group boat race

@hiyoko_sakuranbo

You can start tomorrow! Group rhythm “Boat Race” “Solo boat” and “Two-person boat” are fun, but doing it as a group of 7 or 8 is even more fun! If you include it at the end of a requested staff training, the teachers’ smiles burst forth, and you can finish the session in a joyful atmosphere. It’s the same with children. If you end with a rhythm activity everyone can enjoy together, you’re sure to see the biggest smiles. ✨ Give it a try in tomorrow’s childcare! **************** “Saito Kimiko’s Cherry Rhythm Play” is a scientifically grounded method that promotes children’s development through play.

Perfect for class recreation or grade-level activities! Here are ideas for a group boat race.

You know how rowing is an Olympic sport, right? This time, we’re sharing ideas for a boat race played in groups.

In the video, teams of seven sit in a row and inch forward toward the goal by pushing with their heels.

It’s not just the person in front who does the work—when everyone on the team synchronizes their timing, you can make big progress! It’s also a good idea to use a chant like “1, 2, 1, 2” or “Ready, go!”

Flip-over game

Fierce close match! The flipping game!!!
Flip-over game

Get the crowd going with a team battle! Here’s an idea for a flip-over game.

Split into two teams to compete.

Like Othello, prepare a board with two colors on opposite sides and start the game! When the time is up, the team with more of their color showing wins.

Kids will be totally absorbed and eager to take on the challenge—no doubt about it! Before you begin, remind everyone to watch out for collisions and falls while they’re focused on the game.

Give it a try!

Capsule Toy Gacha Treasure Hunt

Tried a Treasure Hunt with Gacha Capsules! [Robot Channel × Bonbon TV]

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.

Clapping Fantasy

Fun March: Clapping Fantasy Music Festival
Clapping Fantasy

Let me introduce a lively performance that uses your own hands: Clapping Fantasy, which is also featured in elementary school music textbooks.

You’ll clap along to the instruments.

Try getting everyone to clap in unison, or split into clapping and non-clapping parts for variety.

The instrument can be a piano, a recorder, or a keyboard harmonica.

You can even swap handclaps for castanets or bells to make it even more fun.

When the clapping and instruments come together, both the audience and the children performing will feel their excitement rise.

Quick Towel Grab Showdown

[Towel Grab Battle] #IndoorPlay #Recreation #Fun #Project #Easy
Quick Towel Grab Showdown

Here’s a towel quick-grab showdown that gets exciting with just one towel.

The game is played by two people.

Stand back-to-back with about one towel’s length of distance between you, and place both hands on top of your head.

When someone says “Ready, go!” both players go for the towel.

The one who grabs it first wins.

If it’s a tie, it’s fun to try again.

Give this simple and enjoyable towel challenge a try! It might help improve your reaction speed and concentration.
