This game is about jumping in the opposite direction from the one called out by the leader.
It might be even more fun if everyone folds their arms like in the video.
Also, depending on the leader’s instructions, if they say “Say the same, do the same,” you must move exactly as instructed.
Doing this helps build concentration and decision-making skills.
Other variations include “Say the opposite, do the same” and “Say the opposite, do the opposite,” which can get quite confusing—and fun.

Guess the prompt instantly in the word association game!
@haruu_kun_ Struggling badly with an insanely hard game where you have to guess the prompt instantly in a word association game#EffectMama#Harukun's#shorts

This is an association game played to a rhythm: between two hand claps, players take turns saying answers that fit the given theme.
You might figure it out if you think slowly, but it gets hard when you’re required to keep the tempo.
There’s also a version where the people who know the theme keep giving rhythmic answers, and at the end they ask someone who doesn’t know the theme to guess what it is.
That one is even harder.
It’s the perfect size for four players, so give it a try.
Number-Taking Corps
Let’s play “Kazutori-dan,” a game where you mustn’t mess up numbers and units.
Players sit facing each other in a circle and, going clockwise, call out numbers and units to the rhythm of “Boom-boom! ◯◯.” For example, if the first player declares the theme by saying “Boom-boom! apple,” the second player responds, “Boom-boom! 1 piece,” and then declares the next theme.
The theme can stay as apple or be changed.
If the theme changes to banana, the third player should say, “Boom-boom! 2 bunches.” Repeat this, and anyone who gets the unit or number wrong loses.

Bamboo Shoot Gnocchi
Takenoko Nyokki is a game that everyone—from kids to adults—can enjoy.
The great thing about it is that it doesn’t require any equipment, yet it’s fun no matter how many times you play! The rules are simple: First, all participants put their palms together.
After the chant “Takenoko, takenoko, nyokkikki,” if there are four players, raise your joined hands above your head and, in order, call out from “1-nyokki” to “4-nyokki.” If two people say a number at the same time or someone fails to say a number by the end, they lose.
The key is how quickly you can call out “X-nyokki!” without overlapping with anyone else.
Give it a try with everyone!
Trust Game
@quuun_tiktok Taking on the “Trust Game” where muscle soreness is inevitable!! lolTrust Game#Biancaholloway#viralRecommendation#fyp#JK#JC#QUUUN
♪ Original song – QUUUN!! – QUUUN!!
It’s a game that tests how much you trust the companions you’re spending your waiting time with.
First, four people stand facing inward in equal directions, holding hands with the people beside them to form a square.
While keeping their hands joined, everyone leans backward and pulls on each other’s hands.
To apply force backward, you need your partners to pull firmly, so the more you trust your teammates, the more you can lean back.
Anyone who can’t trust the others and ends up sitting down loses, and that ease of deciding a winner is part of what makes it exciting.
Let’s look for a loooong word
In the “Let’s Find Long Words” game, the questioner specifies the final letter and asks for long words that end with that letter—in this case, words that end with “n.” The respondents think of and answer with long words ending in “n.” The longer the word, the more impressive it might be.
You could also score one point per character and have the team with the highest score win.
Once everyone gets used to the game, try setting themes like food or animals, or add rules such as not allowing words that have already been used, to make it more fun.
Magical Banana
A Magical Banana game where clapping and rhythm are key.
The first person says, “When you say banana, I think of ___,” filling in a word by association.
The next person keeps the rhythm and continues saying what the word makes them think of.
Keep the rhythm going by saying the phrase “When you say ___” each time.
Once everyone gets used to the game, speed it up by increasing the clapping and rhythm tempo.
The main point is to say your associations in time with the rhythm; if you can’t say one in time, restart on the spot and try again.
