Recommended for women! Party games and performances that will liven up a birthday party (1–10)
Perform a song
It might be fun to put on a musical performance too.
You could sing a song the birthday person likes, or perform a popular hit or a birthday song.
As arrangement ideas, you could do impressions while singing, or surprise them with a group chorus.
Take time to think about a performance style that would really delight the birthday person.
By the way, classic birthday songs include Ayaka’s “Birthday Song” and Ai Otsuka’s “Birthday Song.”
“Congratulations!” in a reverse playback telephone game
Do you know the reverse-playback telephone game? The reverse-playback telephone game is a version of the telephone game played using a recording app that has a reverse playback feature.
Players can only listen to what’s being said in reverse, so it’s more challenging than usual.
It’s also great for birthday surprises.
Make the birthday person go last and pass along a keyword like “Happy Birthday.” When they figure it out, they’ll be both surprised and moved.
flash mob
A flash mob is a surprise where people who seem unrelated to the target gradually join in dancing and singing.
In this video, when the birthday person and their friends arrive at a park, a flash mob unfolds.
How about boldly preparing a large-scale flash mob for a dear friend? The happy mood might spread to the people around you and even to bystanders, making everyone feel joyful.
However, be mindful of those around you so it doesn’t go too far and become a nuisance.
Dance to the birthday song

You can do it live on the spot, or record it in advance to screen it or send it to someone far away.
Now, the tricky part is choosing the song, isn’t it? Looking through social media and the like, it seems that songs commonly used include YUI’s “Happy Birthday to you you.” It could also be fun to combine not just dance, but singing or playing an instrument for the performance.
Impersonation performance
A classic party trick is doing impressions—giving that a try is highly recommended.
It’s fun to have everyone show off their best impressions, and tying them to the birthday theme can make things even more exciting.
For example, say “Happy Birthday” while in character, or sing a birthday song as an impression.
You could also try games that use impressions, like a “telephone game with impressions.” It’s sure to get everyone hyped up together.
A card magic trick you can use to celebrate a birthday
How about celebrating a birthday with a card magic trick? In this trick, you guess the card the birthday person draws, and then you also present cards that represent their birth date and a card with a message.
For example, if the birthday is October 3, you’d use a 10 card and a 3 card.
The message can be something simple like “Happy Birthday.” If you first guess the drawn card and then reveal the birthday-related cards, it will make the moment even more exciting.

When it comes to birthdays, it’s all about the presents, right? While the sentiment matters more than the number, still…
seeing a huge stack of them really gets you excited.
Sure, some of the boxes might be dummies, but isn’t the time spent searching for the real gift among all those boxes such a thrilling and fun moment? With the boxes wrapped in cute packaging and piled high, I think it would be perfect for Instagram, too.
