The interaction with the children began with a juggling challenge. Students from grades 1 to 3 competed against the players in a one-minute juggling contest using balloons, but player Ueda dropped the ball. Students from grades 4 to 6 played against the players using a ball. Both players successfully completed the challenge. Finally, they played against children with soccer experience, with the players being handicapped by having to juggle inside a hula hoop. However, both players maintained their professional composure and successfully juggled for one minute.

Next, they played a target practice game using cones as targets with four student representatives. The distance to the target was adjusted to differentiate between the children and the players. When player Ueda hit a cone other than the target and had to retry, the children jokingly shouted, "That's cheating!" but player Ueda successfully hit the target cone. Player Kento Misao, who carefully checked the course to aim, also accurately hit the cone.
