Recommended indoor playing methods for improving kids' motor system to brain system
Elementary school kids usually like to run around, play with playset, and play in a sportive mood. However, there are times when you can't play outside on a rainy day. Or maybe there are moms and dads who are in trouble even if they try to play indoors, saying "I don't like this play because I'm tired of it" and "I want to play differently". This time, we will mainly introduce the indoor play that is especially recommended for elementary school students. There are also games that can be played by a large number of people, such as when a lot of friends get together.Indoor play recommended for children's (exercise system)Blindfold Balance GameIt is a game in which you stand on one leg with your eyes closed and compete for how long you can keep your balance. It is very difficult to close your eyes and balance, so it is a play that can be expected to improve the athletic ability of children. It's a game that you can play if you have a little space in your house. You can enjoy growing up by playing games with your children and keeping records. Any number of people can play the game at the same time in a large area. You can easily and safely blindfold with an eye mask.Plastic Drink Bottle Darts GamePlace the empty PET bottle on the floor with the lid open. This is a game where you can pick up a thin stick-shaped object such as disposable chopsticks that fits in a PET bottle with your fingers and drop it from above to enter the PET bottle. It is also interesting to set how many sticks to drop and how many sticks you have entered, or to set a time limit and compete for how many sticks you have entered. It's very easy to prepare an empty PET bottle, so if you prepare many, you can compete with many people at once. It's a game that you can easily enjoy at home with your children.Musical Chairs GamePrepare less chairs than the number of participants. Place the chair in a circle with the chair facing outward. While playing music around the chair, everyone walks around and sits on the chair when the music stops. There are few chairs, so those who can sit will win. Gradually reduce the number of chairs, and the person who remains until the end will be the winner.Balloon liftingIt is a game in which balloons are used instead of balls to form a circle and everyone continues to lift. Hold hands all the time during the game. Since balloons are used, lifting can be easily continued regardless of gender. You can play with the rule that the team that can continue lifting a lot using the whole body other than the hand wins. This game is recommended when playing with a large number of people, which gives team unity. We recommend 8 or more people in a circle. If you play in a large place such as a gymnasium, many teams can play the game all at once.Indoor play recommended for children's (brain system)Illustration shiritori (word chain)Instead of shiritori normally, I write a picture on paper and shiritori. It is a game that you can acquire a picture mind. This game is suitable for small groups, such as when a friend comes to play at home. You can do it anywhere with paper and a pen. We recommend a whiteboard that can be stuck and peeled off wherever there is a wall.Telephone game (Chinese Whispers Game)Form a team and line up in a row. The game starts by telling the person in front of you the theme to message. More and more This is a game where you can send a message to the back and enjoy whether the message is transmitted correctly to the back. The larger the number, the harder it is to communicate accurately. The difficulty level depends on the theme, so please consider the theme according to the age group you participate in.Rhyming Words GameA game in which you decide on a theme and say words in order according to the rhythm. You lose if you don't get on the rhythm well, if you don't follow the theme, or if you give the same answer. Since the difficulty level can be determined by the speed of the rhythm and the theme, the setting can be changed according to the age group. If there are too many people, it will take time to come around and it will take a long time to think, so it is a recommended game for about 5 to 10 people.When, where, who, what did the game (5W1H Game)Each participant creates several types of cards: "when", "where", "who", and "what did". After writing, collect the paper and put it in a bag for each category. Each time, four people pull a piece of paper from the "when", "where", "who", and "what" bags to complete the sentence. It's a play that is just right for elementary school students, and it's fun to have a mismatched sentence, and it's nice to have a perfect sentence that adds up. Some people write their friends' names in "who", so be careful in advance that you should not write bad things in "what you did".Word Association GameA team battle will be held with 3 to 4 people per team. Since the question is set so that it can be seen by anyone other than the answerer of the team, express it with another noun without directly telling the subject. The team that can answer more correctly within the time limit wins. The point is to think carefully about how to convey the subject without saying it. It's an educational game because you get into the habit of thinking about how to tell the respondents reliably.Indoor play recommended for children's (events)Treasure Hunt GameIt is divided into a group that hides treasure and a group that searches for treasure. The group to look for goes out of the room and waits, and when the group to hide finishes hiding, the game starts. Rather than a competitive game, it's a game that you enjoy looking for. First, prepare the treasure for the number of people. Children are very pleased with the treasure hunt. Once everyone has the treasure, the next step is to reverse their position and play the game. If you're at a Christmas party, it's fun to replace the treasure with a gift. Whether you prepare it as a gift exchange between children or as a gift from parents to children, it will be exciting.Paper Tower GameA game in which you divide into teams and compete to see how high you can stack paper. You can use the paper freely, and the team will first set a time for a strategy meeting on how to fold it and how to stack it. Strategy meeting time is also part of the game. The key point is how much teams can communicate with each other during the strategy meeting and plan a solid strategy. It's a little difficult game, so it's a recommended game for adults such as children's associations and for children of different grades to form a team. One team should have 5 or more people.Gesture GameThe rules are very similar to associative games, but in gesture games the person giving the hint should not speak out. Tell the respondents the subject using only body movements. Not only is it possible to train your thinking ability, but it is also attractive that you can move your body moderately and refresh yourself.Rock-paper-scissors train (Rock-Paper-Scissors Train Game)We walk around the designated area such as the gymnasium and play rock-paper-scissors with the people we meet in front of us. The loser will be behind the winner and will be the train. The trains repeat rock-paper-scissors one after another, and the losing trains are connected to the winning trains, so they are gradually consolidated into one train. The person who was in the front when it became one train at the end wins. You can enjoy rock-paper-scissors while cheering for the person at the head of your train, so it's a very exciting play for events.Have fun with friends and familyMany adults may think that playing indoors in elementary school has to do something special to make it fun, but it doesn't have to be difficult. First of all, it is important to enjoy playing. Involve your child and try various games with your family and friends.
