I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

Games that liven up a farewell party: ideas that make everyone smile (21–30)

Who am I? game

#1 [Who Am I?] An icebreaker you can enjoy online! From elementary school kids to seniors! A communication game that also works as brain training!

Who am I? game

A recommended activity for building rapport at a farewell party is the “Who Am I?” game.

In this game, attendees write names on folded slips of paper, then draw one at random and try to guess the person written on it.

The questioner may only ask yes-or-no questions.

If the answer isn’t found within the time limit, hints can be given, making it easy to communicate even with people you’re meeting for the first time and sure to create a sense of unity.

Because it uses memory and reasoning skills, it’s also a fun brain teaser.

Perfect Match Game

“What a Perfect Match Game” — introducing a game that gets super hyped with friends!!!

Perfect Match Game

We’ll ask the other person number-related questions like “How many Twitter followers do you have?” Each team repeats this, and the side whose total gets closest to a preset number wins.

If you go over the set number, it’s a bust and you lose.

It’s a simple game, but the better you know your opponent, the more strategically you can enjoy it.

Paper Cup Pulling Game

[Recreation] It was insanely exciting! #DayService #DayServiceRecreation #ImageChange

Paper Cup Pulling Game

Quick reflexes are the key to victory! Let us introduce a string-pull paper cup game.

Participants form a circle and each holds a string attached to a paper cup.

Gather all the cups in the center of the circle.

At the right moment, a designated person will try to cover the cups with a basket—so pull your strings to keep your cup from getting caught.

The rules are simple, but getting caught is frustrating, which makes the game really exciting! Keep a close eye on the designated person’s movements and don’t miss the moment to pull your string.

Anything Basket

Anything Basket

Anything Basket is a game derived from Fruit Basket.

In Fruit Basket, the tagger calls out the name of a fruit, and the people assigned to that fruit stand up and move.

The tagger moves as well, and the person who fails to get a seat becomes the next tagger.

In Anything Basket, the prompts aren’t limited to fruits—anything goes, like “people who ate bread for breakfast” or “people who are in bed by 9 p.m.” Just be sure to choose prompts that apply to multiple people.

human disentanglement puzzle

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

human disentanglement puzzle

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.
