Funny and exciting penalty games recommended for high school students (21–30)
What is the minimum score on the test?
Do you remember the lowest score you ever got on a test? If this feels like a punishment game to you, a specific answer sheet you’d rather forget probably came to mind.
It’s an even better conversation starter if you share the subject and the story behind why you ended up with that score.
Admitting your lowest score can be a little embarrassing, but by telling an awkward story, you might spark lots of questions and end up feeling much closer to friends or a partner!
Confessing love with a funny face
https://www.tiktok.com/@vryhjadm9e7/video/7428916622569590024Words that convey your feelings to someone tend to be paired with a serious expression, which in turn emphasizes the determination and emotion behind them.
This piece explores what happens when we deliberately remove that “serious expression” from such earnest expressions of feeling and see what kind of atmosphere emerges.
It’s important to really distort your facial expression—enough to call it a funny face—and deliberately highlight the gap between your expression and your words.
The key point to watch is whether your feelings will still get through to the other person when you speak earnestly while making a goofy face.
to put on makeup
Makeup is a delicate process, and many people approach their daily routine with meticulous attention to detail.
In this activity, we’ll apply makeup to the person receiving a penalty and enjoy watching their face gradually change.
Rather than professional-quality makeup, think of applying it thickly and roughly—ending up messy might actually make it more entertaining.
This is also a great opportunity to try a bold, flashy look that would be hard to pull off in your everyday makeup.
to smell something stinky
I think smelling something stinky can also liven things up.
There are broadly two types of smelly items often used for penalty games.
One is food.
Penalty games using durian or kusaya are a staple on TV shows, right? The other is items made specifically for penalty games.
There are sprays with very strong odors available for purchase, so if you’re curious, check online shops.
Some of them can leave a smell on clothing that’s hard to remove, so be careful.
Make sure to research well before using them.
Reading aloud an embarrassing XX
Everyone has probably written various kinds of texts over the course of their life—elementary school essays, old diary entries, and so on.
This activity is about digging up those old writings that everyone likely has tucked away and having them read aloud with heart.
You’ll get to truly feel the embarrassment, including the clumsy parts, as you see what your past self was thinking and how you used to write.
Since you can’t predict the content, it’s best to choose pieces from as far back in time as possible.
Stinky Rubber Band Snap
If you want to prepare a punishment game that people will really hate, the “stinky rubber snap” is also recommended.
You know the regular rubber snap, right? You stand while biting a thick rubber band, someone else pulls it back and then lets go.
That alone hurts and is unpleasant, but the stinky rubber snap involves spraying a smelly spray on the end of the rubber.
First comes the pain, and then the stench hits you.
Another unpleasant point is that the smell lingers on your face for a while.
impassioned singing
Belting out a song is a simple yet entertaining punishment game.
The key is not just to sing, but to go all-out and sing your heart out.
For someone who doesn’t usually go to karaoke, it can be even more embarrassing.
However, the person taking the penalty might actually be good at singing.
In that case, have them sing a song that doesn’t match their usual persona—like an anime theme, an idol song, or enka.
It’s a punishment game that could work well at karaoke, too.
