Let’s use familiar facilities to solve a mystery! Here’s an idea for a sweet potato treasure hunt.

It’s a treasure hunt game that starts with a letter delivered to the children from the phantom thief Imo-mo.

Sweet-potato-shaped clues are hidden in places like shoe cubbies, lockers, and toy shelves! Collecting the clues is thrilling, but deciphering them is just as fun.

Once you figure out the answer, hurry to the treasure’s hiding place! What could be inside the treasure chest? Give it a try!

Follow the clues to find the treasure!

All you need to prepare is paper and a pen! Here’s an idea where you follow clues to reach the treasure.

Once a teacher or guardian writes clues on pieces of paper and hides them around the room, the treasure hunt begins! It’s a simple yet wonderful game idea that brings out children’s imagination and reasoning skills.

Kids search around the room based on the hidden clues, moving forward with excitement as new hints appear one after another—it’s truly thrilling! Preparation is easy, so it’s a game you can enjoy casually with friends or at home.

Ball-carrying game

Let’s have fun by combining things you have at home! Here are ideas for a ball-carrying game.

The charm is that, through play, you can learn both the importance and the difficulty of cooperating to achieve a goal.

The rules are simple: two people hold a towel and carry a ball to place it into a basket or bag, but it’s great for building concentration and sense of balance.

It’s easy to do indoors, so parents and children or friends can try it together and feel a sense of accomplishment.

Once you get the hang of it, try customizing the course!

Cooperation-Required Cup Game

@.vs9086

This time it’s a “cooperation-required cup game”! Materials: • 4 strings • 1 rubber band • Paper or plastic cups How to play: • Attach the 4 strings to the rubber band. • Line up the paper cups. • Tug the rubber band from four directions to grip the cup and stack them into a pyramid. This game builds fine hand control and concentration. Plus, one person can take the lead by giving instructions, and the other listens and responds. You can’t do it unless the two of you work together. My second son isn’t very cooperative and hasn’t really had experiences of accomplishing something together with friends, so I hope that, even through play, he can gradually gain experiences of achieving something with someone else. If you have paper cups, you can also branch out into other games like: • Sport stacking • Bowling ————— We share fun brain-boosting activities that elementary schoolers will get more absorbed in than a Switch—and that help grow their talents!

Achieving goals alone is tough! Here’s a cup game that requires teamwork.

It’s a game idea where you and your friends grab and move cups by coordinating your timing.

Just tie strings to a rubber band and you’re ready to go! Work together to grip the cups in unison.

Try arranging them into a pyramid or stacking them high for different variations.

The delicate balance of force and tiny timing mismatches that make the cups hard to control can be surprisingly addictive!

Escape Game

Work together with your group to clear the game! Here are some escape game ideas.

Aiming to clear the challenges with your teammates will foster cooperation and problem-solving skills! By collaborating to complete tasks like treasure hunts, crosswords, coin drops, and quiz competitions, children will learn the importance of teamwork.

Combining different types of games helps children develop multifaceted thinking and grow with a sense of accomplishment.

It’s a great idea for strengthening bonds with peers while enhancing problem-solving and communication skills.

Anything Basket

Anything Basket Game (for elementary and middle school students)

The game “Anything Basket,” which everyone can enjoy together, is perfect for a party.

Arrange chairs in a circle and have one person stand in the middle as ‘It.’ ‘It’ calls out a prompt like “People wearing hats,” and anyone who fits the description has to switch seats.

The person left without a seat becomes the next ‘It.’ When the cue “Anything Basket!” is called, everyone moves, making it even more exciting.

Unusual prompts—like zodiac signs—are fun too.

Try playing together in a classroom or community hall!

Drop the Handkerchief

Folklore Play Newspaper #9: “Drop the Handkerchief”

Here’s a handkerchief-drop game you can play with just one handkerchief.

Sit in a circle facing inward and choose one person to be “it.” The person who is “it” holds the handkerchief and walks around the outside of the circle, then secretly drops it behind someone.

The person it’s dropped behind should get up, run around the outside of the circle, and try to tag “it.” If “it” manages to sit in the empty spot first, the person who had the handkerchief dropped behind them becomes the new “it.” When dropping the handkerchief, it’s best to drop it around the person’s back so they notice it.

The last person remaining wins! Give it a try.
