Newspaper Stick Holder

Recreation for seniors: super simple, exciting, and fun newspaper stick-in game

The “newspaper stick drop,” where you put sticks made from newspaper into a milk carton.

It’s a very simple game, but you might be surprised by how engaging it is.

Because it requires fine hand movements, it also serves as finger exercise.

Even people with hemiplegia can participate without strain, so everyone can enjoy it together.

The rules are easy to understand since all you do is insert the sticks into the holes of the milk carton.

The sense of accomplishment when you get a stick in is fantastic.

It’s also fun to compete in teams to see how many you can insert within a time limit.

All you need are newspapers and milk cartons, so you can start right away—highly recommended.

Team Relay Ball-Passing Game

“Stick Soccer” is a game everyone can enjoy while seated.

It’s gaining popularity as a lifelong, universal sport that anyone can try—even those with disabilities! Another appeal is how easy it is to play: all you need is a stick made by rolling up newspaper and a vinyl ball.

Multiple players sit facing each other, and with simple rules, they bat the ball toward their team’s goal to score points.

It involves moving your hands and arms and requires concentration, which helps stimulate the brain.

Let’s add this game to your recreation activities and have a great time—it can even become a source of purpose and motivation!

Balloon badminton

On hot days, play indoors! Let's play balloon badminton♪

As the name suggests, balloon badminton—played by using a balloon as the shuttle—is a recreational game that even small children can enjoy with ease.

Because both the racket made from a paper plate and chopsticks and the balloon shuttle are lightweight, it’s great that people without much stamina can play for a long time.

Plus, drawing your favorite pictures or decorating the paper-plate part of the racket can boost motivation to play again.

Although it’s a relaxed activity, it helps train dynamic visual acuity by requiring you to accurately track and hit the moving balloon, making it a highly recommended game.
