Games for 3 People with No Equipment! Fun Activities Using Just Conversation and Body Movement (1–10)

Three-Letter Game

@candys_noborito

A game where three people each say one character to match a given theme. Or at least, that’s how it’s supposed to go—but their quirks are so intense it ends up making no sense 😂Hair salonHairstylist3-letter game

♪ Original Song – Candies – Noborito Candies

Here’s an introduction to a game where three people combine their ideas to have fun: the Three-Letter Game.

For a given prompt, three players each provide one letter to form a three-letter word.

If the word fits the prompt, it’s correct.

If it doesn’t match the prompt or results in an unnatural word, it’s incorrect.

Each player should infer a word that fits the prompt and contribute their letter.

The first player looks for a correct three-letter word based on the prompt, and each subsequent player builds on the previous letter to complete the word.

Adding a time limit makes the game even more exciting.

Beef Tongue Game

A simple, no-props party game: the 'Gyutan (Beef Tongue) Game'
Beef Tongue Game

Let me introduce a hand game called the Gyutan Game.

Press your palms together, then raise either your right or left palm facing up and push it forward.

Starting with “Gyu” and then “tan,” clap your hands as you say the words in order.

Increase the number of “tan” by one each turn and pass it to the next person.

If you raise the wrong hand, say “tan” instead of “gyu,” or otherwise mess up the sequence, you lose.

You also lose if you fall out of rhythm and get slow.

Once you get used to it, try speeding up the tempo.

It’s fun for all ages, so give it a try at home or with friends.

Saying one thing, doing the opposite

We played a game where you say one thing but do the opposite, and it got way too hyped 🤣 #KyouSuki #WinterBreakEdition #shorts
Saying one thing, doing the opposite

A game where the more people you have, the livelier it gets—you do the opposite of what’s said.

It’s plenty of fun with just three players, too.

While saying the same word as the caller, you move in the opposite direction.

For example, if the prompt is “right,” you say “right” while moving left.

Since everyone holds hands in a line, if someone makes a mistake they might bump into the person next to them, and the people on either side might even fall over.

The rules are simple, but it’s surprisingly challenging.

That’s why, when you pull it off without any mistakes, everyone might feel a wave of shared excitement.

Onomatopoeia Game

@user92800579326613

We played an onomatopoeia game and it was way too funny lol

Word association is a game you can jump into and enjoy right away.

It gets even more fun if you turn it into an onomatopoeia game where you answer with sound effects for whatever comes to mind.

For example, if the previous person says “train,” you could reply with “clackety-clack.” Another tip is to keep giving the prompt “computer” repeatedly before switching to a different prompt.

Suddenly changing the prompt creates a sense of urgency in the answers.

There’s also a tense, exciting anticipation about when the prompt will change or when someone will change it.

Liven things up with unique prompts and onomatopoeia!

The ultimate choice between two options

Which matters more, love or money? Choose one in the ultimate either-or and answer! #Shorts
The ultimate choice between two options

If you had to choose between two favorite foods, which would you pick? Let’s play a game where you choose between two options, like money or hairstyles.

It gets exciting when you make the choices about things where you love both—or dislike both—and have trouble deciding.

You might be surprised by the unexpected choices your close friends make.

Even within a family, kids and adults might make some surprisingly tough calls.

Pick options that are hard to choose between, and have fun with it!

Human chair challenge with three people

@aileen_hsu127

#Fitness Factory#Fitness Factory Guanghua BranchGuanghua PartnerThree people make a chair#challenge

♬ Original sound – aileen_hsu127 – aileen_hsu127

Let’s join forces and use our bodies to take on the challenge of making a chair.

When you think of a human-made chair, the “air chair” with your back against a wall might come to mind.

An air chair made by three people results in three chairs, but in this activity, three people will create one chair together.

Each of the three will support one another with their bodies to form a chair.

By using your thighs, arms, and core muscles to support each other, the chair will come together.

You can try this any time, but you might need some strength training to successfully complete the chair.
