Games You Can Play with 10 People! Fun Activities for Kids and Adults to Enjoy Together (1–10)
From kids to seniors! A color-sorting game that gets everyone excited
This is the perfect game for anyone looking for a fun singing activity.
First, let’s all sing “Seagull Sailor” together.
After that, hand out bracelets made from construction paper to the participants and divide them into three color groups.
The host will show a piece of construction paper that matches one of the bracelet colors, and only the team wearing bracelets of that color will clap.
Because you have to sing while also watching the host’s actions, it’s a great way to build concentration!
A quick-reaction game that’s fun for both kids and adults
Choose one representative from the participants, and have everyone else close their eyes.
The representative will instruct, “Raise your hand when you hear a cat’s meow,” so those with their eyes closed should raise their hand immediately when they hear the cat sound.
If animal sounds are difficult, using instrument sounds or saying a specific word is fine too.
It’s a simple game, but you can make it more challenging and exciting by adding feints, like using a dog’s bark instead of a cat’s meow.
Relying solely on sound with your vision blocked is surprisingly difficult, so it seems like a good brain-training activity.
Icebreakers that even elementary school students can enjoy
Both children and adults can feel a bit nervous when playing with someone they’re meeting for the first time.
Here are some recommended games for those moments.
For example, there are games like “Rock-Paper-Scissors Catch & Go,” “Mirror Stretch,” “Become a Stick,” and “Stand Up.” There’s also a game called “Guide the Way,” which has three levels so you can gradually increase the difficulty as you play.
By sharing the same goal of cooperating to reach the finish at the end, you might even deepen your bond.
Drawing Telephone Game
It seems like playing telephone with drawings is more challenging than using text or voice.
It’s the kind of game where you can participate with excitement, wondering if the theme will make it all the way from the starter to the final person.
In the video, they try the game online, but it also looks easy to adapt as a recreational activity using paper and pens! If children and adults are on the same team, the key might be the order in which they take turns in the drawing telephone game.
Enjoy instantly! “Shingenchi Game”
Choose one person from the players to be the guesser.
The remaining members decide who will be the “epicenter,” then either stand in front of the guesser or form a circle with the guesser at the center.
At the start signal, the epicenter naturally strikes a pose—anything is fine, such as folding their arms, switching their pivot foot, or scratching their head.
The other members, with a slight delay, imitate the epicenter’s pose.
The guesser must observe who started the pose and identify the epicenter.
11 Recommended Games for Networking/ Social Gatherings
Games with simple, easy-to-understand rules can be enjoyed by everyone from kids to adults.
When there are many participants, head-to-head games are recommended.
Games like Werewolf, escape games, or competitions where you add up everyone’s step counts from a pedometer seem great for deepening bonds as participants cooperate and strategize together.
There are also various other ideas introduced, including online versions.
Be sure to try incorporating them and have fun!
Werewolf Game for 10+ Players That Even Elementary School Students Can Play!
In addition to roles like “Werewolf” and “Villager,” it seems there are also roles such as “Android” and “God.” You can play using cards or with apps on smartphones, but that heart-pounding, exciting atmosphere of kids playing together face-to-face in the moment is likely to become a lasting memory.
Each time you add new roles, be sure to explain the rules carefully so everyone can enjoy the game while understanding it.
The video also features the role of “Lovers,” so be sure to try incorporating that as well.
