Challenge! Guinness World Records that are easy to attempt with large groups

Number of people who formed a scrum

A larger-than-expected turnout sets a Guinness World Record with a scrum of 2,586 people—boosting excitement for the 2019 Rugby World Cup—in Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture.

This is a Guinness World Record for forming a scrum—the basic formation in rugby—with a large number of people.

Because the scrum is an indispensable part of rugby, it both raises interest in the sport and highlights the sense of unity among participants.

In an actual match, scrums involve collisions and pushing, but for this record they only form the shape of a scrum, which makes it accessible to a wide range of age groups.

The sight of everyone holding a scrum stance and quietly waiting for the signal also gives the feeling that their hearts are united as one.

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. We share rhythm activities that can be implemented immediately in educational settings through workshops and at preschools nationwide. **************** Mayumi Murata | Cherry Rhythm Play ▶ Book text composition for “DVD Book Complete Visual Edition: Saito Kimiko’s Childcare” ▶ Planning and editing for “Illustrated Edition: Saito Kimiko’s Sakura·Sakuranbo Rhythm Play” Thank you for your likes and follows!#Cherry Rhythm PlaySakura Sakura-nbo Rhythm#Rhythm PlayRhythm PlayHiroko SaitoNursery teacher / Childcare workerKindergarten TeacherGroup boat race

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!”
