Survivors
A consensus game where you consider what decisions you would make to survive when suddenly faced with a disaster.
The theme is the real-life crash of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, inspired by the film “Alive.” Participants take on the role of a survivor and discuss how to respond to Roberto’s proposed actions, as well as how to overcome limited food supplies and the extreme cold.
Through discussion, players experience cooperation and differing values in a crisis, and because it tests a team’s ability to consolidate opinions and make judgments, it makes for an engaging, educational activity in schools and training programs.
It’s a theme that lets you enjoy the critical choices and viewpoints at key moments.
Getting lost in snowy mountains
You all joined a tour to see the aurora.
However, the plane you were on crashed due to a geomagnetic storm.
The crash site is in snowy mountains, and the nearest town is as far as 32 kilometers away.
The pilots have died, and the plane has sunk to the bottom of a lake, so you have no choice but to make your way on your own.
Besides cold-weather clothing, you only have 10 items.
To survive, discuss as a group and rank the items from most to least important.
The time limit is 30 minutes; when time is up, present your ranking.
When giving opinions about the ranking, be sure to explain your reasons, and when making decisions, reach a consensus—an agreement among everyone.
A quick-reaction game that’s fun for both kids and adults
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.
Play together! 10-Second Bomb Game!

This is a simple, easy-to-understand recreation where you pass a ball to others within a time limit! Ten people form a circle and keep passing a ball or balloon to the person next to them.
Once you get used to it, you can also throw or pass the ball or balloon to a specific person you’re aiming for.
When the timer signaling the time limit goes off, the person holding the ball or balloon loses! It’s also fun for each person to come up with and try out their own strategy.
It’s a heart-pounding game that treats the ball or balloon like a bomb.
From kids to seniors! A color-sorting game that gets everyone excited
This is the perfect game for anyone looking for a fun singing activity.
First, let’s all sing “Seagull Sailor” together.
After that, hand out bracelets made from construction paper to the participants and divide them into three color groups.
The host will show a piece of construction paper that matches one of the bracelet colors, and only the team wearing bracelets of that color will clap.
Because you have to sing while also watching the host’s actions, it’s a great way to build concentration!
Icebreakers that even elementary school students can enjoy
Both children and adults can feel a bit nervous when playing with someone they’re meeting for the first time.
Here are some recommended games for those moments.
For example, there are games like “Rock-Paper-Scissors Catch & Go,” “Mirror Stretch,” “Become a Stick,” and “Stand Up.” There’s also a game called “Guide the Way,” which has three levels so you can gradually increase the difficulty as you play.
By sharing the same goal of cooperating to reach the finish at the end, you might even deepen your bond.

Werewolf Game for 10+ Players That Even Elementary School Students Can Play!
In addition to roles like “Werewolf” and “Villager,” it seems there are also roles such as “Android” and “God.” You can play using cards or with apps on smartphones, but that heart-pounding, exciting atmosphere of kids playing together face-to-face in the moment is likely to become a lasting memory.
Each time you add new roles, be sure to explain the rules carefully so everyone can enjoy the game while understanding it.
The video also features the role of “Lovers,” so be sure to try incorporating that as well.
