Games You Can Play with 100 People! Party-Pumping Group Game Ideas (11–20)

Fruits Basket

Traditional Play Newspaper #71: “Fruit Basket”
Fruits Basket

Prepare one fewer chair than the number of participants and arrange them in a circle.

Choose one person to be “it,” and have them stand in the center of the circle of chairs.

All other participants should sit down.

Everyone except the person who is “it” will be divided into several groups.

Name the groups after fruits, such as strawberries or mandarins.

When the game starts, the person who is “it” calls out the name of one fruit (i.e., a group).

Everyone in the called group stands up and moves to a different chair.

At the same time, the person who is “it” should also try to sit in a chair.

The person left without a chair becomes the next “it.” If “it” says “Fruit Basket,” everyone must stand up and move to a different chair.

Pyramid Rock-Paper-Scissors

Pyramid Rock-Paper-Scissors: Guaranteed to be a hit! A recreational activity
Pyramid Rock-Paper-Scissors

This is a pyramid rock-paper-scissors game you can play with an entire class.

Depending on the situation, it can even be enjoyed by the whole grade, and it gets very exciting—so give it a try.

First, draw lines on the schoolyard or similar space.

Make the front line the longest, then make each subsequent line shorter, and place the defending players on those lines.

The formation looks like a pyramid.

The attacking players play rock-paper-scissors against each row of defenders; if they keep winning all the way to the final defender—the defending “king”—they clear the game.

If they lose along the way, they go back to the starting line.

A single game takes about 5–10 minutes.

Do it right away! Epicenter game

[Let’s Play! Indoor Games] A “Shingenchi Game” you can start right away with friends and family
Do it right away! Epicenter game

I’m going to introduce a “Shingenchi” game that everyone can get excited about.

First, choose one person to be the Oni (it).

The Oni’s job is to figure out who the Shingenchi is.

One other member becomes the Shingenchi and performs various movements while trying not to be noticed by the Oni.

The remaining members should imitate the Shingenchi’s movements—mixing in other motions as well—so the Oni can’t tell who the real Shingenchi is.

The Oni tries to guess who the Shingenchi is.

The more players you have, the more challenging it may become.

Give it a try!
