New sports resources from the Japan Society
Tokyo 2020 Olympics and Paralympics may be postponed until next summer, but the Japan Society are keeping the spirit of the games alive and inspiring people to take part in some sporting fun. They have created a home edition of a new resource pack based on Japanese school sports day activities.The At Home Edition Pack contains 8 games adapted from the main pack which allow you to recreate your very own undokai in the garden or in the park with minimal equipment and small team sizes. We hope many people will enjoy holding their own games over the summer holidays!
For individual workouts, Japan has also a long history of "Radio Taiso" exercise routines. Old and young, physically fit and those with mobility issues can all experience the benefits of Radio Taiso. The Japan Society has a new easy-to-follow video on YouTube for you to try yourself at home.
