New Year party games that get everyone excited: a fun collection of ideas from classics to DIY

Fluffy Fish Catch

Fluffy Fish Catch — a children’s toy: Musical Freddy and His Flying Fish

Fluffy Fish Catch is a game the whole family can enjoy with small children.

Little fish float up into the air, fluttering softly.

It’s a simple game where you scoop them up with a net.

However, the fish flutter more than you’d expect, making it surprisingly tricky.

The air outlet is about 140 cm high, so for older kids and adults, it might be fun to add a handicap—like sitting down or lying down—when competing.

Lyrics hijacking game

[Going Viral] I tried the lyric hijacking game and ended up dying of laughter lol

It’s a game I really want you to try when music lovers get together.

It’s like shiritori, but with song lyrics.

You start by finding a song that contains the same word as a word in the lyrics of the song currently being sung, and when that word comes up, you jump in and start singing your song.

There was a similar game called a “Riff-Off” in the coming-of-age a cappella film Pitch Perfect, and it’s the same idea.

It’s hilarious, and you can get endlessly particular about how smoothly and stylishly you can connect songs.

Treasure Hunt

[Role-Play Treasure Hunt] A Challenge from Pirate Jack — Work Together to Find the Hidden Treasure in the Kokoroman Family!! [Indoor Play] [Skits/Make-Believe]

Many of you probably visit your grandparents’ home for New Year’s, right? For children, that alone is fun.

So why not hide some treasure around the house and let them go on a treasure hunt? Just searching will be exciting for them, and if they get a present too, they’ll be overjoyed.

Do-Re-Mi Song Game

I tweaked the Do-Re-Mi Song game and it got insanely fun lol

“Do-Re-Mi,” the song everyone in the family should know.

This is a game based on that song, but it’s pretty difficult.

Precisely because it’s difficult, it gets exciting and fun.

You don’t need anything at all.

It’s an easy, pick-up-and-play game, so give it a try with everyone.

A game where you guess the song using only gestures

A game where you have to guess the song using only gestures is insanely hard.

Gesture games are familiar, but this one is an evolved version.

It’s a game where players have to guess the given song using gestures only.

Of course, you must not sing! Even if you love music and know lots of songs, you’ll need flexible imagination.

It’s challenging, but I think you’ll enjoy it.

It’s recommended because any number of people can play.

No Loanwords Allowed Game

Love Talk × No Loanwords Game?! by PRIMA DONNA

The “no loanwords” game is a game where you’re not allowed to use katakana loanwords in conversation.

The rules are simple, but when you try it, it’s surprisingly difficult.

We don’t usually think about it, so it’s startling to realize just how many loanwords we use (lol).

You can adapt it into a “no dialect” game too, which would be fun.

Even when you try to stick to standard Japanese, dialect slips out and the conversation gets lively.

♪ Original Song – Kaa-kan – Kaa-kan

Here’s a fun “presence-sensing sword game” you can enjoy even with just two people for New Year’s! All you need are blindfolds and long, soft sticks that won’t hurt if they hit someone.

Foam toy swords from 100-yen shops add to the atmosphere and excitement, but you can also make your own with newspaper.

For blindfolds, use something handy like an eye mask or a towel.

Once blindfolded and holding the stick, try to sense your opponent’s presence and swing; whoever lands a hit on their opponent wins.

If you have a larger group, split into teams and play matches for even more fun.
