A quick-reaction game that’s fun for both kids and adults

[Hand Game Fun for Elementary Kids] Quick Reaction Game

Choose one representative from the participants, and have everyone else close their eyes.

The representative will instruct, “Raise your hand when you hear a cat’s meow,” so those with their eyes closed should raise their hand immediately when they hear the cat sound.

If animal sounds are difficult, using instrument sounds or saying a specific word is fine too.

It’s a simple game, but you can make it more challenging and exciting by adding feints, like using a dog’s bark instead of a cat’s meow.

Relying solely on sound with your vision blocked is surprisingly difficult, so it seems like a good brain-training activity.

Outdoor activities: fun games everyone can play together!

Games everyone can play: kids recreation (icebreakers / Myoko Adventure Summer Camp)

This is a game called “Catch.” Choose one person to be the leader, and have the other participants form a circle.

Hold out your right hand with the palm facing up toward the person on your right, and place your left index finger on the palm of the person to your left.

When the leader says “Catch,” quickly close your right hand, and with your left hand, try to pull your index finger away so it doesn’t get caught.

The leader should vary the timing by stretching out “Ca, ca, caaaatch…” or throw in feints by saying something like “Cat!” instead.

It’s a simple game that helps break the ice and get everyone excited, even with people you’re meeting for the first time.

Jump into a rock-paper-scissors game!

Rock-Paper-Scissors Game: Jump Version | A Physical Activity You Can Do Without Contact or Equipment

The “Rock-Paper-Scissors Jump Game,” which combines rock-paper-scissors with jumping, is a playful activity that helps children learn how to use their bodies while potentially improving their athletic ability.

Create waiting spots on the left and right, and have participants play rock-paper-scissors with the person next to them.

The winner then jumps while moving from their current waiting spot to the one on the opposite side.

It’s a simple game that repeats this process, so any child old enough to play rock-paper-scissors can join.

For the jumping styles, start with a “rock” jump keeping both feet together, then move to a “scissors” jump.

After that, switch to a gallop and finally to a “paper” jump.

A dice game anyone can enjoy

http://www.lemon8-app.com

Match the numbers without touching the dice! A product called “Jumping Dice” is being introduced, but it seems you could substitute colorful dice, cards, and even empty capsules from capsule toys.

How about enjoying a handmade dice game? The rules are: put three different-colored dice into separate capsules, then shake the capsules to match the colors and numbers shown on a card drawn from the deck.

Once you’ve matched them, press the bell placed in the center of the table with your palm.

It’s a simple but exciting game.

Do-Re-Mi Song Game

[Viral] The Do-Re-Mi Song game is freaking hilarious lol

We’re going to sing the famous “Do-Re-Mi” song, but after each person sings one phrase, the singer will randomly call out which note the next person has to sing.

For example, if the first person sings the “Do” phrase and then calls “Mi,” the next person must sing the “Mi” phrase with the correct pitch.

If someone gets the lyrics wrong or goes off pitch, they’re out.

It’s a game that tests your ear and always gets everyone excited, even when mistakes happen!

Speaking of 〇〇, games

Speaking of 〇〇, it’s got to be games: [Party games recommended for after-parties and year-end gatherings]

Kids and digital devices—like games and smartphones—are practically inseparable these days.

But at least on Children’s Day, it would be nice to have a no-media day and play together with lots of lively chatter.

So let’s try a “When you think of 〇〇, you think of…” game.

Form teams of 5 or 6 and play a team-vs-team match.

For example, given the prompt “When you think of foods adults like, what comes to mind?”, everyone on the team answers at the same time.

If all the answers match, your team wins.

Even with simple prompts, it’s surprisingly hard to match answers, so it’s sure to get everyone excited.

It’s a game that adults can enjoy at welcome parties, cherry-blossom viewings, and other gatherings.

A recommended recreation that brings generations together!
