How to Play Ice Demon and Promises

First, we introduce how to play Ice Demon and its promises.


How to play
1. The children are divided into two groups by rock-paper-scissors or other means. The children who are the ogres turn their hats inside out or mark their clothes.
On the count of 10, the "escaping child" is chased and touched on the body.
When the ogre touches the escaping child, the child turns into ice and becomes frozen in that pose, unable to move. When a fellow player touches the child that has turned to ice, the ice melts
and the child can escape.
The game ends when all children are turned to ice by touching them.
Since there are differences in the way ice demons play in different regions, you may want to change the way to proceed to make it easier for the children to play. If you have a large number of
children, you may want to decide the game time in advance or make it a team game to make it more exciting.
Promises
The following are some rules to keep in mind when playing ice tag with children.
When children touch each other, touch gently without hitting.
Be careful not to touch only the same child.
The child who is on the ice should follow the rules and not move.
The ice tag is played within a set area. Be careful not to go out of the range.

When talking to the children about how to play and the rules, make sure they are calm. Especially when children touch each other, too much force may cause injury. It is best if you can convey
the promises to children in a safe manner so that they can enjoy playing games.
Instructional plans will often be divided into four sections: "Aims," "Environmental Structure," "Expected Children," and "Methods of Assistance by Caregivers.
Here are some examples of ice demon instructional plans for each of these items.
Aim
The aim should be written with an awareness of what abilities you wish to develop in the child through the Ice Demon activity and what kind of experience it will be.
To learn the joy and pleasure of physical exercise.
Enjoy interacting with friends through a single play activity.
Learn the joy of playing according to rules.
Cultivate social and cooperative skills through play.
Since ice tag is a group game, it may be a good idea to set goals with an awareness of relationships with friends.

Environmental Structure
To ensure that children can play safely, let's describe some points to keep in mind when structuring the environment.

Make sure the environment is clean and free of trash and hazardous materials.
Indicate the area where children can play tag to make it easier for them to play.
It will be necessary to decide in advance the range of children's activities for tag. It may be a good idea to put tape on the floor or surround the area with PE tape to make it easy to understand.
Expected children's appearance
Fill in the following information on what to expect from children who play ice tag.
Some children will be frustrated because they cannot be the "ogre" in the game of rock-paper-scissors, while others will be happy to be the one to escape.
Both the "ogre" and the "runaway" are running around energetically.
Some children try to save their friends by touching the child who got on the ice.
Some ogres touch the same child repeatedly.
Some children start crying after being touched by the ogre.
It would be good if you can describe the children during the game, imagining how they are playing and thinking about how the game will unfold.
How to assist the childcare worker
Describe the methods of assistance for the childcare worker needed in ice demons.
Tell the children how to play ice tag, the rules, and the time so that they can easily understand.
If the demon touches the same child repeatedly, ask the child to touch another child.
If a child starts to cry, encourage him or her by holding his or her hand, saying, "Let's take a break, shall we? If a child starts to cry, try to encourage him or her by holding hands together or
saying, "Let's take a break, shall we?
Talk to them several times at intervals so that they don't touch each other too hard or bump into each other.
Make sure that the children are appropriately observing the rules of tag.
Since tag is a physical game, children may get carried away and bump into their friends. It may be a good idea to fill in the form while imagining the children's situation and considering safety
and the timing of the calls.
Ice Demon Instructional Ideas by Age Group
Here are some points to consider when writing an instructional plan for ice demons for each age group.
3-year-olds
Some children in the 3-year-old class may not yet understand the rules of ice tag. When explaining how to play the game in the instructional plan, it is a good idea to include some creative
ideas, such as showing a model among the caregivers.
The child who becomes an ogre should hold hands with the caregiver and chase the escaping child together, and after a few repetitions, the child should be able to understand the rules.
The childcare worker's assistance method might include, "Because I touched you, you turned into ice and can't move. Now that the ice has melted, you can move! and so on in detail, it will be
easier for the child to move on to the next action.
Four-year-olds
Many children in the 4-year-old class may have played ice tag several times before. There will be more occasions for children to express their feelings to each other during the game, and there
may be times when their opinions clash.
It may be a good idea to write in the instructional plan to help children feel the importance of following the rules, such as by confirming how to play and the rules with each other in the form of
a quiz.
5-year-olds
Before starting ice tag, 5-year-olds should have a strategy meeting such as "How should we run away so we don't get caught by the ogres? It may be a good idea to provide an opportunity to
nurture each child's independence by having a strategy meeting before starting ice tag.
When writing instructional plans, it is important to be aware of the importance of "watching over" children so that they can feel the importance of following the rules and the joy of enjoying a
single game with their peers.
