Rhythm, Ear Training, and Sensory Games (11–20)
Flag-raising game
We often see the Flag-Raising Game on TV shows and the like, but there aren’t many people who’ve actually played it.
That said, once you try it, it’s pretty fun and highly recommended.
Getting flags ready can be a hassle, but you can substitute handkerchiefs or towels.
Throwing in feints really livens things up, and playing at a fast tempo is fun too.
Rhythm, Ear Training, and Sensory Games (21–30)
Atama-Oshiri Game
The fresh, TV-famous rhythm game “Atama-Oshiri Game”! In time with the music, you answer by connecting the first and last letters of the word presented.
You have 10 seconds, and the key to winning is whether you can come up with longer words or more letters.
It tests both speed and creativity, so everyone can have fun cranking their brains together.
On the show, Banana Man and Sandwich Man take on the challenge, with unexpected answers being a highlight.
Enjoy laughs and edge-of-your-seat moments.
It’s a recommended game that gets families and friends pumped up while training rhythm and quick thinking at the same time.
Physical activity exercise games (1–10)
Gesture Game
It’s a game that everyone from adults to kids can enjoy.
Communicating without speaking is pretty challenging, isn’t it? I think the guessers really have to use their heads, too.
You can probably get a glimpse of the gesturer’s personality as well, so it seems perfect for everything from mixers to preschool activities.
Flip-over game
Get the team spirit going! Here’s a flip-over game to try.
Split into two teams and get started with a board that has different colors on each side, like Othello.
Within the time limit, the team that leaves more of their color showing wins.
Kids are sure to get hooked and give it their all! Before starting, remind everyone to watch out for collisions and falls while they’re focused on the game.
Give it a try and add it to your activities!
survival game
It’s a game where you advance into the opponent’s territory while taking cover behind obstacles on the field, attack the opposing team with airsoft guns, and work together toward the set objectives.
Because you’re attacking while staying hidden, how you formulate strategy within the team is really put to the test.
Although exchanging fire with airsoft guns might sound dangerous, as long as you wear the recommended gear, anyone can enjoy it safely.
When a BB hits you, you call yourself out—so good sportsmanship is important.
Precisely because it’s a simulated combat experience, it feels like it strengthens the team’s bonds.
