Chorus Quick-Sing Game

[Touching] Saucy Dog’s Shin-chan appears in the ‘sing-the-chorus-fast’ game and the crowd goes wild lol

The “Chorus Sprint Singing Game” is perfect for staying awake during a drive.

First, the quizmaster says the title of a song.

The person who can start singing that song’s chorus the fastest wins.

You might think it’s easier than an intro quiz, but instantly recalling the chorus melody and lyrics can be surprisingly hard.

If you’re with people around the same age, pick songs from your own generation; if the group spans different ages, it’s better to choose songs everyone is likely to know.

Chopstick Game

Chopstick Game: Kids Win

A finger-counting game called the “Chopsticks Game.” First, face each other and hold out your index fingers on both hands.

Decide who goes first; the first player taps either of the opponent’s hands.

When tapped, add the number of fingers on the tapping hand to the number on the tapped hand, and hold out that many fingers on the tapped hand.

Take turns repeating this.

If the total reaches 5 or more, that hand is out and goes down.

The player who still has at least one hand up at the end wins! There are also optional rules, such as redistributing counts between your own two hands or reassigning counts to a hand that was previously down, so try incorporating different rules as you play.

Country Name Sharing Game

We played a game splitting up country names and it had us in stitches lololol [JaruJaru]

The “Country Name Split Game” is a game based on a comedy sketch by the duo JaruJaru.

One person says the first part of a country’s name, and another person says the remaining part to complete it.

For example, for “Argentina,” if one person says “Argen,” the next person says the remaining “tina.” If the remaining part can’t be continued smoothly and the country name isn’t completed, you’re out.

Even short country names like Japan or India might make you go “Huh?” and hesitate more than you’d expect.

It’s also a great way for children to learn country names, so give it a try!

Dosukoi Game

@ve4snxqh♬ original sound – LUMINARY FOR CARS – LUMINARY FOR CARS

The “Dosukoi Game” combines hand play and word play.

First, everyone makes fists with both hands, and at the leader’s cue of “Dosukoi ___,” each person raises any number of thumbs they like.

After saying “Dosukoi,” the leader says one hiragana character.

Players must answer with a word that starts with that hiragana and has a number of letters matching the total number of thumbs raised.

Be sure to add “dosukoi” after the word.

The fastest person to answer wins! Decide in advance how many wins are needed, and the person who remains without meeting the goal by the end (or is last in the group) loses.

Onomatopoeia Game

@user92800579326613

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

♬ original sound – Justistar / Justistar Fan – Justistar / Justistar Fan

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!

A-I-U-E-O Acting Showdown

The answers in the A-I-U-E-O acting showdown were so dumb that I burst out laughing lol

This is the “A-I-U-E-O Acting Showdown,” which tests quick thinking and acting skills.

First, choose who will take on the challenge, then decide on a theme.

It’s easier if the theme is a profession, like a school teacher.

After that, create an acrostic using every syllable of the Japanese gojūon in order, starting from “a.” You can think of it as writing lines of dialogue for all the syllables.

Deliver your lines with a good rhythm, and above all, put your heart into it and give a compelling performance.

Once everyone has finished, vote to decide who was the best.

Personality test

[Yukkuri Explanation] A Psychology Test That Lays Your True Nature Bare [If You Don’t Want to Know Your True Self, Don’t Watch]

A psychological test is about bringing to light the depths of the mind that even the person themselves may not be aware of.

Once you prepare the questions, all that’s left is to have people answer them, so it requires few tools and is easy to conduct.

When people answer simple questions as they wish, you can reveal their ways of thinking and their character, which may seem unrelated to the questions themselves.

After presenting the analysis of the psychological test, it could be exciting to verify how it holds up in reality.

There are all kinds of questions, from light topics to heavy ones that touch on the depths of the mind, so it’s important to choose according to the atmosphere of the situation.
