We held competitions for picking up sippo and obstacles.There were many children who were crazy about playing with short sleeves in a number of games designed to allow them to exercise their whole body while having fun.

 After exercising at the gymnasium, the participants were served pork soup with radish harvested in the field of the university, and in the afternoon, a concert "Mysterious Tane" was held by the 4th grade students of the department.Keisuke Setowaki (3rd year, Department of Children's Health), who is the mayor of Children's Village, said, "This time, I formed a group for each age for the first time, but everyone, including small children who could not run, enjoyed playing. I'm glad I took on the challenge. I would like to continue thinking about plans that will please the parents and children who participated. "
