Recreation Ideas That Truly Excite High School Students! A Fun Collection of Activities

Penalty Game Jenga

[Showdown] If you lose, you have to do a Buruzon Chieme impersonation! We tried a giant punishment-game Jenga!

It’s a simple spin-off of the familiar Jenga that adds a punishment-game element.

It’s fun to play purely as Jenga, but I think it’ll be really exciting if you make the most of your high school energy and come up with some slightly bolder punishments to play with.

Word Bingo

[Number Bingo is old news] A psychological battle that captivates both adults and kids! “Word Bingo”

Try a unique Bingo that uses letters! Here are some Word Bingo ideas.

In regular Bingo, you cross off selected numbers on a card with numbers, and aim to win by lining up one row vertically, horizontally, or diagonally and shouting “Bingo!” This time, let’s try Word Bingo using letters instead of numbers.

Draw lines on a sheet of paper to make nine squares, and, without letting each other see, write one hiragana character in each square.

The first player asks the opponent questions, and as they get answers, they cross off the hiragana that apply, aiming to complete a Bingo.

Let’s use the hints to figure out the answer! Here’s an idea for a rearrangement game.

It’s a great recreation activity for breaks or free time! Once you’ve prepared five types of drinks with two bottles each (like plastic bottled drinks), you’re ready to go! It’s a simple game where you rearrange the drinks and guess the correct order.

The key is for each person to move one item per turn to work toward the correct arrangement.

It’s helpful if the caller can tell the players how many drinks are currently in the correct position.

It looks easy, but it really makes you think! You can also adapt it using stationery or other items instead of drinks.

Came Alone Game

Heaven and Hell – Offenbach

Recommended games that are fun even with large groups! Here are ideas for the “I came alone” game.

These are large-group ideas you can play in class recreation, too.

Once everyone sits in a circle so you can see all the participants, you’re ready to start! The first person raises a hand and says, “I came alone!” Then the next two people raise their hands and say, “We came as two!” Next, three people, then four, and so on; after reaching five, it goes back to one.

Once you get used to it, it’s also fun to arrange it as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!

Nanjamonja

[Shadow Game] This is what happens when voice actors play ‘Nanjamonja’ at full throttle

A card game that tests memory, quick reflexes, and sense.

The rules are simple: players flip cards from the deck in order, and when a character appears for the first time, the player who drew it gives that character a name.

You keep drawing through the deck, and when a card that already has a name comes up, you must say that name; the person who says it first gets the card.

For remote play, choose a game master who shows each drawn card to the camera and awards the card to whoever says the name first.

It’s a simple yet brain-engaging game that’s great for quick breaks or for high school students who can’t go out to play.
