Kyogen ‘Slowly, Slowly’ Game
This is a game inspired by the line “sorori sorori,” devised by Chocolate Planet’s Mr.
Osada, which evokes the feel of kyogen.
Just as the slow movements in kyogen are expressed as “sorori sorori,” players answer with words that the prompt brings to mind.
There are no definitive correct answers, so judge casually among participants as you go.
If a response doesn’t seem connected to the prompt, it’s out.
The most important thing is recalling the most fitting word.
Finger Smash
A great game to kill time: ‘Yubi-suma’ (Finger Guess).
Many of you might have played it before.
You don’t need any equipment and the rules are simple, so anyone can jump right in.
First, make a fist with both hands and press your knuckles together.
Decide the turn order, and starting with player 1, call ‘Yubi-suma’ and then say a number.
At that moment, all participants either raise their thumbs or keep them down—you can raise just one thumb, or none at all.
If the number called matches the total number of thumbs raised, the caller lowers one hand.
The first person to lower both hands wins.
Give it a try!
Atsumori Game
A wordplay game based on the shout “Atsumori!” used in TV sports segments to hype up hot plays.
Players call out “Atsumori” and add a specific gesture; the next designated person—or someone nearby—must respond with the correct gesture.
Anyone who gets it wrong is out.
Channel your inner announcer and make that ‘Atsumori’ call!
In conclusion
We’ve introduced fun games and activities for college students.
We’ve gathered games that are sure to liven up welcome/farewell parties, club or seminar retreats, and drinking parties, so be sure to try them out with everyone.
If you prepare prizes for the winners and penalties for the losers, it’ll be even more exciting!
