Lip-sync song guessing game

[Singing Challenge] Guessing the Song Title from Just Lip-Syncing Was Way Too Hard lol [Trending]

The lip-sync song guessing game is something even people who love listening to music but aren’t confident singing can enjoy, and it works well at workplaces or schools.

The presenter picks a song, then lip-syncs it—paying close attention to intonation and rhythm—without making any sound.

The guessers carefully watch the presenter’s mouth and facial expressions to figure out what song it is.

At first, it’s best to choose familiar songs that everyone knows.

Once everyone gets the hang of it, you can make the game more exciting by shortening the sung sections or speeding up the delivery.

Beef Tongue Game

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

The brain-teasing Gyutan game is perfect for group play, where focus and memory are key.

Players sit in a circle and say “Gyu” out loud, then on the “tan” part, they clap without speaking.

Pay extra attention because the final “tan” comes in succession.

After one round, move to the second, third, and so on, increasing the number of final “tan” claps by one each time.

As the rounds progress, the number of “tan” claps increases, so remember the count and try not to make mistakes.

Once you get used to it, picking up the tempo can make it even more exciting.

The “Haa” Game

We tried playing the “Haa” Game while making curry at the camp.

To start playing the “Haa” game, prepare a total of eight cards: A: the “haa?” of Why?, B: the “haa” of powering up, C: the “haa” of being dumbfounded, D: the “haa” of admiration, E: the “haa” of anger, F: the “haa” of playing dumb, G: the “haa” of surprise, and H: the “haa” of heartbreak.

Next, each player draws a card and performs the type of “haa” written on it.

You win if you successfully convey to the other players which type—A through H—it is.

Since this is a game where acting skills matter, get creative and express each one clearly so it comes across well.

Super Ball scooping

Puyo Puyo Balls, Jewel Scooping, Disney Mini Water Yo-Yo Fishing, HIMAWARI Channel

“Super Ball Scooping,” a huge hit at festival stalls, is now available as a set at home improvement stores.

It’s sure to liven up any barbecue with lots of kids.

Even adults can get totally absorbed and have fun with it.

PK game

An unbelievably awful 'soccer penalty shootout' has been born.

It’s a game that’s easy to join even if you’re not good at soccer.

We recommend a team-based, competitive format that everyone can enjoy.

Adding a penalty game would probably make things really exciting.

It could be fun to actively incorporate special rules, too.

After working up a pleasant sweat, let’s enjoy a delicious barbecue!

inflatable pool

Splash on the water slide!! We played in the inflatable pool ♬

A regular inflatable pool is plenty of fun, but if you go with a waterslide type, the kids will get even more excited.

It’s also a good idea to have balloons and super balls ready.

I can already picture the kids falling asleep on the way home, tired out from playing.

roasted sweet potato

Family story: A woman whose home environment is below average, but she's getting by

Yakiimo—baked sweet potatoes—are delightfully sweet with a fluffy, hearty texture.

If you’re outdoors at a barbecue, why not try making them as part of the fun? For those who work up a sweat moving around or who don’t enjoy vigorous activity, this kind of enjoyment is also highly recommended!
