Aburi Karubi Game

[Tongue Twister] Aburi Karubi Game!! #TongueTwister #AburiKarubi #Actor #Theater

It’s a classic word game, but this “Aburi Karubi Game” gets surprisingly lively with people of all ages.

The first person says “aburi karubi” once, the second person says it twice, the third person three times, and so on, increasing the count as you go.

It’s also fun to keep rhythm with hand claps while you say it.

Most importantly, you have to say it as quickly and smoothly as you can.

You might even enforce the rules strictly.

It sounds simple, but it’s trickier than you think—perfect for a fun time!

Magical Banana

Magical Banana 🍌

A Magical Banana game where clapping and rhythm are key.

The first person says, “When you say banana, I think of ___,” filling in a word by association.

The next person keeps the rhythm and continues saying what the word makes them think of.

Keep the rhythm going by saying the phrase “When you say ___” each time.

Once everyone gets used to the game, speed it up by increasing the clapping and rhythm tempo.

The main point is to say your associations in time with the rhythm; if you can’t say one in time, restart on the spot and try again.

Telepathy Gesture Game

Banquet Entertainment Series, Vol. 3: Telepathy Gesture Game

It’s no exaggeration to say that gesture games have long been a pillar of Japanese variety shows, and they’re always a hit as party entertainment.

Here, instead of a typical communication-style gesture game, we’ll introduce a telepathy-style version that tests whether two people are on the same wavelength.

First, present a prompt.

If the two performers make the same gesture, it’s a correct answer.

For example, if the prompt is “baseball” and one person acts as a batter while the other acts as a pitcher, that’s a miss.

It’s even more fun if you set up a screen so they can’t see each other’s gestures!

Earphone Loud Telephone Game

Banquet Entertainment Series Part 4: Earphone (Loud) Whisper Game

You often see this game on variety shows too, right? I think the classic “telephone game” format is fun for all ages.

Preparing the music device is easy nowadays since we have smartphones.

If you don’t have headphones, earphones will do just fine.

For older participants, pick prompts about trends among young people; for younger participants, choose prompts with a Showa-retro vibe—add a little twist in how you select the topics.

The limit might be around 20 characters that people can memorize at once.

Getting some bitter tea ready as a penalty could make it even more exciting!
