[For Kids] Today's Recommended Recreation Ideas (1–10)
Turtle scooping
Try scooping up turtles that are floating and swimming around! Here are some ideas for a turtle-scooping game.
Fill a plastic pool or tub with water and float plastic turtles in it.
You can adjust the tools to match the children’s ages, using scoops or paper scoops (poi), and enjoy the turtle-scooping fun.
Decorating the area with light-blue plastic bags or raffia tape to create an ocean theme will help set the mood.
Give it a try and create a game corner that gets kids excited!
Home festival
https://www.tiktok.com/@momo.mam4/video/6994964906655223042A perfect idea for kids interested in summer festivals: an at-home fair.
Going to a real festival is fun, but the great thing about an at-home fair is the freedom—you can play your favorite games as much as you want, pour on as much shaved ice syrup as you like, and enjoy it your way.
There are lots of handy items available these days, so you might be surprised how easily you can set one up at home.
Try planning it with ideas kids love, like shooting games, yo-yo fishing, and lucky string pulls.
Put on some festival background music and transform your room into a festival venue!
Bread-grabbing race
A great way to really feel the changing seasons is to incorporate seasonal events.
When it comes to classic spring and summer events, you can’t go wrong with a sports day.
The bread-grabbing race we’re introducing this time is a game where you wind a string around a stick and reel in the bread at the end to grab it! It not only requires fine motor control but also boosts concentration.
Competing together also helps stimulate the brain.
And of course, one of the fun parts is eating the bread you’ve grabbed together after the event.
Tea Picking Game
Tea picking, famous for the phrase “Hachijūhachi-ya, when summer draws near.” This time, we’re introducing a game inspired by Hachijūhachi-ya.
Prepare green and light green origami paper and roll each sheet into a cone shape.
It’s good to have a mix of sizes, large and small.
Set out two disposable containers so you can harvest green mature leaves and light green young leaves separately.
Place shredded newspaper dyed green inside a cardboard box.
Once you’ve tucked the origami into the box, you’re all set.
At the signal, harvest while sorting between leaves and young leaves.
There are many variations: race for speed, compete for how many you can harvest within a time limit, or use tweezers.
It can help train fine motor skills and improve comprehension and decision-making.
Give it a try!
Make special money for the at-home festival only
https://www.instagram.com/p/Clnhp8POdMP/When you go to festivals or street fairs, one thing you always end up doing is paying, right? It might be hard for children to handle money at actual food stalls, but at home it’s totally possible.
And if they give it a try, it can spark their interest in money and arithmetic.
So, what I recommend is making your own original play money.
They can draw pictures on paper or stick on stickers.
If you want to make it look more realistic, place a coin under a sheet of paper and gently rub over it with a pen.
Cowboy game during Obon
This is a recreational activity for seniors.
It could also work well at a sports day.
You toss a ring made from newspaper onto a tray and scoop up balls.
The person who collects the most wins.
It’s simple and fun, and you only need a tray, newspaper, duct tape, string, and plastic balls.
A picture book in honor of Children’s Day
How about reading a picture book themed for Children’s Day on May 5th? This video, titled “Moving Picture Book,” turns a perfect Children’s Day picture book into a video.
In it, carp streamers (koinobori), which are traditionally displayed in yards on Children’s Day, appear and have various conversations with children.
It also includes audio, so please enjoy watching it with your child.
