This "mini fair summer festival" event is being held for the first time this year.
Handmade by helpers
With the Corona disaster and the request to refrain from going outside, it is not easy to exercise outside or go for a walk as usual these days.
The "Mini Fair Summer Festival" is a handmade event that was planned by Megumi Murai (care worker) and the other helpers with a passionate desire to give people the feeling of a summer festival or fair, even if only for a short time.
The festival-style menu included ping pong ball toss, target practice, goldfish scooping, miniature car games, ring toss, and a food stall corner offering handmade cotton candy.
Handmade cotton candy
ping-pong cup-in game
The game is played by bouncing the ping pong ball once on the table and placing it into the "paper cobblers with numbered tags" lined up in a box.
At first, I couldn't get the feel of bouncing a ping pong ball, but after a few tries, I got it right, and it went in the cup!
target practice area (e.g. in RPG games)
Aiming at boxes of candy lined up on a handmade cardboard target stand, the children popped the boxes with a shooting pistol!
Everyone was serious, putting their sights on the box of candy!
Try again and again until you win!
Bash it down and you get that candy!
Each of us took home the candy we got in a plastic bag with our name on it!
festival game in which participants try to catch goldfish in a shallow paper ladle
Scooping handmade origami goldfish with an Uchiwa. Cute paper goldfish handmade by a helper.
How many fish can you scoop onto a paper plate within the allotted time?
Finally, they counted the number of goldfish they scooped by themselves and announced the number of goldfish they scooped!
miniature car playing
A game in which players move miniature cars of various shapes lined up on the table.
The action of "pulling and releasing" the miniature car seems easy, but doesn't work the way you want it to?
Everyone went through trial and error until they got a feel for it!
The miniature car does not move forward, but stops, starts moving suddenly, spins around, or runs in unexpected directions.
Everyone had a good laugh at the whimsical movements of the miniature cars! It was a very exciting event.
quoits
The player sits on a chair and throws a wheel into a target stick marked with a number. The numbers of the rings are added together to score a point.
Everyone tossed it in rhythmically with a pop, pop, and scored!
Yay, I'm in!
Everyone enjoyed the summer fair atmosphere to the fullest by enjoying the handmade games made with sincerity by the helpers!
Happy time filled the hall with everyone's happy smiles and bright laughter!
With endless love, gratitude and prayers for an irreplaceable and fun summer handmade fair & summer festival. Thank you for a wonderful time!
