Fun and Exciting Active Games with Family to Fill Your Child's Vacation

Dream - The class vacation has begun. Have you made plans to fill your child's vacation? How about filling it with physical activities that also stimulate their cognitive and concentration skills?

This is to prevent children from spending too much time playing with gadgets during the vacation. According to the Active Healthy Kids Indonesia report, Indonesian children scored the lowest grade, F, in the category of "Overall Physical Activity and Active Play."

There is a fun activity that can get children actively playing with their parents, which is the NERF Challenge at Mal Gandaria City from June 16th to July 16th. In the arena, parents and children can play actively. There are challenge zones that can test their accuracy, tactics, climbing abilities, and various gross motor skills.

"This activity is an incredible opportunity for families to have fun and engage in active play. It is also in line with NERF's vision to be a driving force for the future of active play, especially in Indonesia," said Jerlyn Yan, Commercial Lead market Indonesia, Hasbro, during the launch event of NERF Challenge in Jakarta on June 16th, 2023.

Sneak Peek into the Excitement at NERF Challenge

Curious about what fun awaits? Let's take a look!

1. Accuracy

The first excitement you will experience at NERF Challenge is the accuracy game. Here, focus and concentration are crucial. The rules of this game are to shoot 6 darts from the provided Nerf blaster at the target in front.

Each successful target hit will earn 20 points. In addition, there is a point board where each dart that hits the 25 cm target will earn 50 points. If the dart hits the 43 cm target, it will earn 100 points.

2. Football

The second game at NERF Challenge is to kick the ball into the goal. It's relatively easy, just put the ball into the goal within one minute. Each ball that goes in will be worth 20 points.

3. Ball Target

If football trains the active use of the legs, this game requires using the hands to throw the ball. The ball target challenge requires throwing the ball into the hole. Each participant will have the opportunity to throw 10 balls. Each ball that goes in will earn points according to the values indicated on the holes.

4. Rope Maze

Next, there's the Rope Maze challenge where kids have to complete the challenge within a maximum of 2 minutes to earn 100 points. The gameplay involves carefully navigating through ropes placed in various directions. If the body touches the ropes even slightly, a bell will ring.

5. Wall Climbing

Next, there's the challenge of climbing a 2.4-meter wall, which is safe for kids. The requirements are a minimum age of 6 years and a maximum weight of 45 kg.

The rules of the game are that participants who successfully climb to the top and ring the bell will earn 150 points. Participants who fail to complete the challenge or are unable to ring the bell will earn 50 points. Participants who cannot play due to not meeting the requirements will earn 20 points.

Don't worry, this game is equipped with safety equipment and there are staff members responsible for the safety of the little ones.

6. Spiral Slide

Next is the spiral slide game. The requirements to participate in this game are the same as the Wall Climbing challenge. Participants who successfully slide down will earn 100 points, while those who cannot play due to the game requirements will earn 20 points.

7. Battle Arena

And lastly, there's the battle arena. This challenge is different as it involves two different teams, with one team consisting of three participants.

In this challenge, there is no winning or losing team, as each participant playing in the Battle Arena will earn 500 points. No need to worry about getting hit in the body area because this game requires the use of a vest and goggles provided by the staff as protection.

Celebrities and Their Children Trying the Nerf Challenge

Ditto and Rixky Kinos tried this challenge. They brought their sons along. Ditto Percussion brought his son, Dia Sekala Bumi, and Rizky Kinos also came with his firstborn, Panutan Adhya Semesta Trinycta, or commonly called Uta.

The father and sons were united in completing the challenges, especially in the Battle Arena. They thoroughly enjoyed and were happy playing this game.
