Games for 10 People! Fun Activities That Get Kids and Adults Excited Together

10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked for 10 years as a kindergarten teacher and for 7 years as an after-school childcare instructor, then took a post as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I also engaged in activities that shared Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational play, working with many children. Afterwards, through freelance writing, planning, and editing work at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and conveying ideas. Leveraging the perspective cultivated in educational settings and my experience as an editor, I aim to deliver practical information—focusing on fields related to music and children—that values both input and output. Hobbies include instruments, singing, handcrafts, toys, drawing, traditional play, the outdoors, books, DIY, and crafts. Special skill: spinning-top tricks.

Number guessing game

[Number Guessing Game] Fun for all ages! You can play it on the spot without any equipment, so be sure to give it a try! \(^o^)/

Number guessing game

It’s a number-guessing game where you try to predict how many people will crouch.

Everyone stands in a circle and, while jumping, says “Ready, 1!” or “2,” guessing how many people will crouch.

You can crouch yourself, or stay standing and just guess the number—it’s up to you.

It’s simple, but it uses both your body and your brain, and it’s a lot of fun.

It’s hard to guess the number of people who will crouch, so when someone nails it, the group is sure to cheer.

It’s also a great game for chilly or rainy days when kids want to move around—you can play it indoors in a small space.

Birthday line

Birthday line

Within the time limit, let’s try lining up in a single row in order of birthdays.

The rule here is that you must not say your exact date of birth.

If everyone clearly knows the others’ birthdates, you can line up smoothly.

But if someone’s is unknown, you’ll have to exchange clues and reason it out as you line up.

It might be tricky to come up with hints that others can understand, like “around the middle of the season.” If you think it through and line up correctly with no mistakes, it should be a big hit.

Having kids from various age groups—not just those born in the same year—will make it both more fun and more challenging.
