♪ Original Song – A Day in the Life of a Mismatched Employee – A Day in the Life of a Mismatched Employee

A simple and exciting “Dosukoi Game.” Form a circle with a few people and start with one hand clenched.

When the host says, “Dosukoi + [syllable],” participants raise their thumbs and shout a word that begins with that syllable, adding “dosukoi” at the end.

Those who say a word first advance, and the last person remaining loses.

You can keep changing the starting syllable (a, i, u, e, o, etc.) and enjoy it endlessly, so it’s sure to liven up parties.

Since it uses no props and trains concentration and improvisation, it’s also great brain training.

A game divided by Christmas

The game where we split words at “Christmas.” Everyone, give it a try! Mikio Date from Sandwichman is joining in, too!

Here’s a party game that’s sure to liven things up, perfect for Christmas: the “Break Up ‘Christmas’” game.

The rules are simple: take the word “Christmas” and split it at any point you like, then pass it to the next person.

The person who receives it continues saying the word “Christmas” starting from where the previous player split it.

Keep the rhythm, think about where the previous person cut the word, and as you pass it on, decide where you’ll split it next.

It’s also fun to play using other words.

Try coming up with your own original words and give it a go!

Doubt Shiritori

[Extended Special] A game where any made-up name you say in shiritori is understood

Doubt Shiritori is a game that combines the card game “Doubt” (a.k.a.

BS) with shiritori.

You play using words that seem like they could exist but might not, and words that seem unlikely but might actually exist.

If you think the word your opponent said doesn’t exist, declare “Doubt!” If the word doesn’t exist, the person who called Doubt wins; if it does exist, the person who said the word wins.

If you’re unsure, pass and continue the shiritori.

Since you don’t want your lies to be detected, you’ll also need a poker face—calmly answering as if nothing’s amiss is the smart way to play.

Snowplow in operation

[Tongue Twister Navi] Snowplow Snow Removal in Progress | Japanese Tongue Twisters | Hayakuchi Kotoba

A tongue twister based on a scene often seen in snowy regions: “Snowplow snow removal in progress.” The tricky part of this tongue twister is that the word for “snow removal” appears twice, which makes it easy to lose track of where you are as you repeat it.

It also features several pronunciation challenges: the “jo” sound occurs twice, and the “sha” and “gyo” sounds each occur once.

Try practicing with those four points in mind.

If you master this tongue twister, you might just get better at pronouncing the small kana sounds (ゃ, ゅ, ょ).
