Beef Tongue Game

Beef Tongue Game: A Simple, No-Props Party Game! #shorts
Beef Tongue Game

Here’s a tongue game everyone can enjoy without any props.

When someone says “gyu,” the next person claps on the “tan” part.

The key is to keep clapping in rhythm.

You’re only allowed to clap on “tan.” It takes quick judgment to stay focused and keep the rhythm.

Anyone who messes up the order or breaks the rhythm loses.

If you have a large group, it’s best to split into teams.

Have fun while looking at each other’s faces and keeping in sync!

Okonomiyaki Game

@kidschallengeclub♬ dear future husband – 여울

My friend transformed into okonomiyaki! Let me introduce the Okonomiyaki Game.

Work in pairs: one person plays the okonomiyaki, and the other is the cook.

The okonomiyaki player lies face down and tries to hold their position so they don’t get flipped over.

The cook’s job is to flip the okonomiyaki by adjusting force and angle.

Set it up in a space with mats, and adding a time limit can make it more fun.

Give it a try!

Inside-out pots!

We’d like to introduce “Nabe Nabe Sokonuke,” a traditional and ever-popular hand-clapping circle game that parents and children can enjoy together.

Whether with two people or a large group, everyone holds hands to make a circle.

When the lyrics say “Let’s go back,” flip yourselves around so you end up back-to-back while keeping your hands joined.

Repeat the same song and movement to return to facing each other again.

By moving your body side to side with the song, you can develop a sense of rhythm, and it’s fun to move while singing together.

It’s a great way to enjoy close interaction, whether with parent and child or among friends—give it a try!

Cooperation-Required Cup Game

@.vs9086

This time it’s a “cooperation-required cup game”! Materials: • 4 strings • 1 rubber band • Paper or plastic cups How to play: • Attach the 4 strings to the rubber band. • Line up the paper cups. • Tug the rubber band from four directions to grip the cup and stack them into a pyramid. This game builds fine hand control and concentration. Plus, one person can take the lead by giving instructions, and the other listens and responds. You can’t do it unless the two of you work together. My second son isn’t very cooperative and hasn’t really had experiences of accomplishing something together with friends, so I hope that, even through play, he can gradually gain experiences of achieving something with someone else. If you have paper cups, you can also branch out into other games like: • Sport stacking • Bowling ————— We share fun brain-boosting activities that elementary schoolers will get more absorbed in than a Switch—and that help grow their talents!

♬ Cheap and cute athletic meet classic song(1085557) – Kids Sound

It’s hard to reach goals alone! Here’s a cup game that requires teamwork.

It’s a game idea where you and your friends coordinate your timing to grab and move cups.

Once you tie four strings to a rubber band, you’re ready to go! Two people work in sync to grip a cup.

Try building a pyramid or stacking them high—get creative with different arrangements.

The subtle balance of force and tiny timing mismatches that make the cups not move as you want can be surprisingly addictive!

Drawing Telephone Game

SixTONES – Drawing Telephone Game: Who’s the Master Artist!?
Drawing Telephone Game

A game of telephone is where you pass along a prompt in various ways—saying it out loud in order, tracing letters on someone’s back, mouthing the words, and so on.

This version, “Drawing Telephone,” passes the message through drawings.

You draw the prompt you were given, pass it to the next person to guess what the drawing is, and if the final answer matches the original prompt, you’re good! Start with simple, single-item prompts like “dog” or “apple,” then gradually try prompts that include different actions.

How reliably the message gets through depends on everyone’s drawing skills.

Deciding where to place the best artist in the order is a key strategic choice.

It’s a game guaranteed to cause fits of laughter when the drawings just don’t quite get the point across.

Bamboo Shoot Gnocchi

[OWV 1-MINUTE CHALLENGE] Four people play Takenoko Nyokki!
Bamboo Shoot Gnocchi

Let me introduce a very simple game called “Takenoko Gnocchi.” First, players take turns saying the numbers in order: “1 gnocchi,” “2 gnocchi,” and so on.

If you say a number at the same time as someone else, or if you end up being the last one to say a number, you lose! To start, try a practice round so everyone understands the rules: aim to reach 10 with no overlaps, taking turns in order.

Don’t worry about winning or losing—what matters is having fun and laughing together.

Through this game, both kids and adults can enjoy a great time!

scrubbing brush

[Childcare] An active nursery teacher tried a “What’s in the box?” guessing game!
scrubbing brush

A tawashi scrubbing brush is a strong ally in the kitchen for scouring off grime, starting with burnt-on residue from frying pans.

Most people have probably touched one or at least seen one.

But when you touch a tawashi without seeing it, you might be startled by its hard, prickly feel.

The person putting their hand in will feel a little thrill, and onlookers will get a kick out of watching them gingerly touch the brush.

They come in a wide variety of shapes—round, long, and more—and their easy availability is another appealing point.
