@cocoskip♪ Original song – Yuzu (๑′ᴗ‵๑)♪ – Yuzu (๑′ᴗ‵๑)♪

A new kind of invisible rock-paper-scissors! Introducing the idea for “Psychological Rock-Paper-Scissors.” In this game, you face each other with a wall between you so neither can see the other’s hand.

While talking—saying things like “I’m throwing ___” or “Are you throwing ___?”—try to guess what your opponent is putting out.

Until the time limit is up, you can change your hand as much as you like.

When time’s up, who will be winning? It’s a thrilling, heart-pounding way to play.

Command Game

Command Game

It’s a fast-paced game that tests your listening skills and split-second decision-making.

The rules are very clear: if someone says, “Order: do XX,” you perform the action; but if they say only “Do XX” without the word “Order,” you must not move.

If you react by mistake, you’re out, so observation and concentration are essential.

The teacher’s feints will spark laughter across the classroom, creating a fun atmosphere.

Despite the simple rules, there’s a lot of strategy in the rhythm and timing, and it stays exciting no matter how many times you play.

Move or stay still—the instant you decide determines the winner.

Say one thing, do the opposite game

It’s funny how you get tripped up even when you think you’ve got it! Here’s an idea for a “Say the same, do the opposite” game.

It’s a great way to get moving even indoors! The rules are simple: while saying the instructed word exactly as given, you perform the opposite action.

For example, if the instruction is “Forward!”, participants should repeat “Forward” while jumping backward.

The key actions involve front, back, left, and right! Since it doesn’t require knowledge or strategy, it’s an easy and welcoming game for first-timers too.

duck‐duck‐goose

The English version of the game Hanko-chi Otoshi could be called “duck-duck-goose.” It’s a game that tests your judgment as you listen carefully to the words and act accordingly.

Everyone sits in a circle facing inward, and the tagger lightly taps people on the back in turn while saying “duck.” When they say “goose,” the tagger switches: the previous tagger must sit in the empty spot before being caught by the new tagger.

The anticipation of when “goose” will be said and the instant reaction required make it an exciting and fun game.

Rhythm 4

Rhythm 4

This is a game that tests your ability to listen to instructions and make decisions by calling out your own name in time with a 4-beat rhythm.

You advance through the four counts using actions like tapping the desk or clapping, so the overlap of sound and movement adds to the fun.

You need to listen carefully to which person the previous player called and on which number, then decide and act accordingly.

By adding variations—such as changing the actions for each number or introducing instructions that aren’t just names and numbers—you can enjoy the game at a higher difficulty level, which is recommended for those who’ve gotten the hang of it.

Aiko, then go!

Rock-Paper-Scissors Twist Kids Can Enjoy: Aiko de Don!
Aiko, then go!

Let’s enjoy a reflex-based game! Here’s an idea called “Aikode-Don.” This is a one-on-one game where players face each other and start in a seiza (kneeling) position.

With rock-paper-scissors, we usually focus on winning or losing, but in this game the key moment is when it’s a tie (aiko)! As soon as you tie, try to stand up faster than your opponent.

Once you get used to the game, try variations by changing how you sit—like a tuck sit or sitting with legs extended.

You can also raise the difficulty by adding a rule to stand up without using your hands!
