During my student years at Kyoto College of Science and Technology, I studied a wide range of fields including sound, lighting, and video technology, building a foundation in comprehensive stage production and creative expression. After graduation, I joined a music production company, where I still work, consistently building experience in production and engaging in a variety of music-centered tasks. Currently, I mainly handle articles for children, drawing on what I’ve learned about parenting and what I feel and discover through daily interactions with my kids. I hope my work can be of help to you, even in a small way!

Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

When it’s time to say goodbye to graduating seniors or colleagues who are leaving the company, it’s common to gather everyone for a farewell party.

In those moments, it’s nicer to part with smiles and laughter than with tears, isn’t it?

In this article, we’ll introduce some fun games that are perfect for farewell parties.

We’ve collected a variety of games—from quick, easy ones you can enjoy between courses to team competitions that help you feel a sense of camaraderie.

Through these games, we hope everyone ends the event with smiles and has a wonderful time together!

Let’s have fun with the “Say the same, do the opposite” game that gets both your mind and body moving! In this game, you repeat the leader’s instructions while doing the opposite action.

For example, if the leader says “Right,” you say “Right” while jumping to the left.

Everyone on the team does the movements in sync.

It sounds simple but is surprisingly tricky; even when you mess up, it leads to lots of laughs, so try it when you want to make fun memories.

It’s great not just for kids but for adults too!

Werewolf gameNEW!

Naniwa Danshi [Are We Good at Acting!?] Werewolf Game!

Werewolf gameNEW!

The Werewolf game, played by dividing into villagers and werewolves, is recommended when you want to enjoy deduction and psychological battles! Participants first split into villagers and werewolves.

During the day, through discussion and debate, the villagers execute a suspect believed to be a werewolf; at night, it’s the werewolves’ turn, and any player they attack must leave the game.

If all werewolves are ultimately executed, the villagers win; if the surviving werewolves and villagers are equal in number, the werewolves win.

Since it’s a conversation-centered game, it’s perfect for making memories.

human disentanglement puzzleNEW!

[Senior Kindergarten] Huge excitement with the human knot game ☺️ #parenting #childcareworker #seniorclass #childcare #nurseryteacher

human disentanglement puzzleNEW!

Let’s try a human version of a popular 3D puzzle—the entanglement ring—together using our bodies! First, have participants form a circle and connect their right hand with someone who is not next to them.

Then connect their left hand with someone else who is also not next to them.

Now you’re ready! Work to untangle your arms until you form a neat circle.

If you pull too hard, you might get hurt, so if you really can’t untangle, start over from the beginning.

You can split into teams and race against the clock, or have everyone aim to succeed together.

Giant JengaNEW!

I tried playing giant Jenga!

Giant JengaNEW!

Jenga is a classic party game! Many kids have probably played it with their families.

This giant Jenga is an idea where you make the blocks bigger and play.

Because the blocks are large, it feels more like an active, physical game.

If you have a lot of participants, try playing in teams.

Chat excitedly about which block to pull, and get everyone hyped with the thrilling giant Jenga! Make the blocks from lightweight materials like cardboard so no one gets hurt if they collapse.

NG word game

[Immediate Ejection] If we do a “Say an NG word and you’re out” talk show, who will be the last one standing?!

NG word game

The “NG Word Game” is fun both for the people playing and for those watching.

It’s apparently such a hit that the morning variety show “Love it!” has featured it multiple times.

All you need to prepare are business card–sized pieces of cardstock and some double-sided tape—maybe that simplicity is part of its appeal.

For the NG words, pick ones you’re likely to say at a farewell party, such as “thank you,” “appreciation,” “got scolded,” or “senpai.” Be sure to designate a referee in advance to keep the game running smoothly!

Private Quiz

[Quiz Nozomu Iwao, Episode 1] He bares his private life completely! [Shocking revelation about his lower-body situation]

Private Quiz

A “private game” that gets everyone hyped by revealing a bit of their personal side.

It doesn’t require any special prep and anyone can enjoy it easily, so it’s perfect when you want to send someone off with lots of laughs! Don’t overthink the prompts—try lightly personal questions like “What do you eat for breakfast every day?” or “What’s your phone’s lock screen image?” You might discover hidden or unexpected sides of each other that you wouldn’t notice in everyday life.

Through this game, your bonds will grow even stronger—so give it a try!

Ranking Battle

[Showdown] Immediate elimination if you lose! A pride-on-the-line ranking battle among the Bonbon girls members!

Ranking Battle

The TV show “Geinoujin Kakuzuke Check” has become a New Year’s tradition.

Although there are a few special broadcasts throughout the year, the New Year’s special is especially fun—it just feels more festive.

Let’s enjoy a rating-check game together, just like on the show.

Try to pick out the 1,000,000-yen ring, savor premium wagyu beef—there are plenty of ranking challenges to choose from.

The kani-kama versus real crab taste test is a classic! Make sure to appoint a solid MC—someone as dependable as Downtown’s Hamada.

It’ll make the farewell party instantly more fun.
