Birthday party games to get everyone hyped [Lively and fun birthday bash]

hand spinner

[Birthday Party] We tried a hand spinner showdown! First time using a hand spinner ★

A simple toy with built-in ball bearings that you can watch spin.

Let’s use this fidget spinner—which also became a big hit in Japan—to decide a winner.

The rules are simple: compete to see who can keep theirs spinning the longest.

Rather than making it a standalone game, it’s recommended to use it for things like deciding the order of play.

Since spin time varies greatly between individual units, choosing which fidget spinner to use is an important point.

It’s a good idea to have a variety of different types on hand.

two-person robe (Nininbaori): a comedic act where two people share one kimono-like garment, with the rear person acting as the arms for the front person

Japanese Party Act: 'Ninin Baori'

It’s the Japanese traditional performance called “Nininbaori” (two-person haori).

Two people wear one large haori together: the person in back sticks their hands out through the sleeves, while the person in front pokes their head out.

The person in back feeds the person in front and it usually turns into a hilarious mess.

The messier it gets, the more exciting it is!

Spit it out! Ping-Pong

To the limits of your lung capacity! Blow them out! Ping-Pong Balls [Party Games for Banquets, Parties, Year-End Gatherings, and After-Parties!]

It’s a game where you use only your own breath to blow a ping-pong ball out of a bowl.

Since it tests your lung capacity, if you blow too hard, you might choke and end up suffering—making it a bit of a self-sabotage game.

Aim for victory by judging the right spot and angle to blow from.

Zabuton stacking showdown

Tsumu-Tsumu Cushion [Party Game / Banquet Game]

This is done in pairs.

One person sits in seiza, and the other slides a cushion underneath during the moment the seated person jumps.

You compete to see how many cushions you can stack.

Making it a team competition could really liven things up.

The balance of the person in seiza is key.

near baseball

Slug it! Close-Quarters Baseball [Party Game, Drinking Party, Year-End Party, After-Party!]

We’ll play baseball using a balloon as the ball, and we’ll do it from a close distance of about two meters.

Because the balloon is so light and it’s hard for both sides to get the timing right, the growing frustration of not being able to do it well becomes part of the fun.

It seems like it would be even more enjoyable with more people.
