Word Wolf

[Punishment Game] We tried a Word Wolf showdown with new rules and it was an instant kill...
Word Wolf

In simple terms, “Word Wolf” is a game where you find the odd one out.

Each participant is dealt one card.

Each card has a word on it, but one card has a different word.

In other words, that person is the odd one out.

Once the game starts, use conversation to identify who it is.

Since you won’t know at first whether you’re the odd one out yourself, it’s best to avoid statements that clearly reveal the word.

At the end, everyone points to the person they think is the odd one out.

If the person with the most votes is indeed the odd one out, that person loses.

If they aren’t found out, everyone else loses.

Question game

Special Needs Education: “Let’s Play a Question Game”
Question game

Try to deduce the correct answer by inferring from the responses! Here’s an idea for a “Question Game.” Ask the questions you think are necessary to figure out what’s inside the mystery box.

Then, based on the answers, say what you think is in the box! Through this game, players develop speaking and listening skills.

The rules are simple, making it easy and appealing to try with friends or family.

Give it a try!

Quiz: Let’s Aim for the Sweet Spot!

[Non-Style Inoue 365] Whose values are more out of touch, University of Tokyo students or comedians? A miracle happened in an approximation quiz lol
Quiz: Let's Aim for the Sweet Spot!

Instead of guessing the exact correct answer, the winner is the person who gives the answer right in the middle of everyone’s responses—an innovative game called “Quiz Ii-sen Ikimasho!” Since the person with the middle answer is considered correct, you should play with three or more people.

The quiz questions are about things that may or may not have a clear answer, such as “How many new species were discovered worldwide in a year?” or “How many times does a tidy person clean in a day?” Each player writes down a number they think will land roughly in the middle of everyone’s answers.

Once everyone has answered, the person who wrote the middle number wins and gets 100 points.

The players who wrote the largest and smallest numbers among all responses each lose 50 points.

There’s a dedicated card game available for purchase, but it’s also fun to make your own original questions!

Escape Game

Work together with your group to clear the game! Here’s an escape game idea.

Aiming to clear it with your teammates helps foster cooperation and problem-solving skills! By collaborating to complete challenges like treasure hunts, crosswords, coin drop games, and quiz competitions, children will learn the importance of teamwork.

Combining different types of games encourages multifaceted thinking and allows kids to grow while experiencing a sense of achievement.

It’s a great idea for strengthening bonds with teammates while enhancing problem-solving and communication skills.

Mr. Osada took on the Akinator quiz! The two of them seemed to be very close ☺️#Chocopla#ChocoSam#Me~teleAkinator Quiz

♪ Original Song – [Official] Super Townspeople! Chocolate Thumbnail – [Official] Super Townspeople! Chocolate Thumbnail

Let’s try playing Akinator, the game that became quite a hit.

You answer each question with “yes” or “no,” and the game tries to guess the person or thing you’re thinking of.

The rules aren’t complicated, but it really gets exciting.

It seems essential to think carefully about the questions you ask.

By using the “yes” and “no” answers to dig deeper and refine your next questions, you’ll exercise your brain and have more fun.

Ask sharp, to-the-point questions to lead yourself to the answer!

Hit & Blow

[Hit & Blow] I’ve found a surefire way to win the game where you guess three numbers.
Hit & Blow

Let me introduce a Hit & Blow game where your deduction skills are key.

The rules are very simple: you and your opponent take turns deducing each other’s number, and whoever guesses it first wins.

First, decide on your own number.

Then, try to figure out what number your opponent chose.

Playing with a three-digit number is recommended.

Present a number you think is correct to your opponent; if any of the three digits is a hit, use that information to think of other candidate numbers.

You can play with an app, but it’s also fun to play with friends at school using just paper and pen! Be sure to enjoy watching your friends’ expressions and their reactions when someone gets a hit.
