[You Can Do This at School!] Fun Punishment Game Ideas for High Schoolers (11–20)
Pocky game
How about turning the classic party game, the Pocky Game, into a penalty game? Normally, two people eat a Pocky stick from both ends, and the person who takes their mouth off the Pocky loses.
But since this is a team penalty game, let’s change it a bit: for a count of ten, neither player is allowed to take their mouth off the Pocky.
Even between people of the same sex, no matter how close they are, staring into each other’s eyes from just a Pocky-stick’s length away is super embarrassing, right? Keep your eyes open and keep eating for ten seconds!
sing while tickling one’s nose with a paper twist (hana-koyori)
It’s common to have someone sing as a penalty game, but on its own that’s not very interesting, right? In this penalty game, the person has to perform a song in front of everyone, and while they’re singing, their nostrils get tickled with a twisted tissue.
You can easily make the little tickler out of a tissue, so as long as you have tissues, you can do this anywhere.
Watching it might make you feel ticklish too, so you might even sneeze! Now then, can they manage to finish an entire song while being tickled?
Drink a horribly bad-tasting mixed drink
A quick and tasty? It’s the perfect punishment game for when you’re hanging out at a family restaurant.
Don’t you usually get the drink bar when you go to a family restaurant? For this game, you mix small amounts of several drinks from the drink bar and then have to drink the original concoction you made! You’d think it must be delicious since you’re just mixing tasty drinks to begin with, but there are definitely combinations that work and ones that don’t…
No leaving leftovers allowed, and it’s also fun to guess which drinks are in the mix!
weird hairstyle
This is an easy penalty game as long as you have hair of a certain length and something to secure it, like a hair tie, rubber band, or clip.
It looks fun even with short hair, but with someone who has long hair, you can style it however you like and really have fun! It would probably look great in photos and liven things up, too.
Get some side dishes from someone’s bento (lunch box)
Doesn’t it take quite a bit of courage to ask someone to share something with you—especially to say, “Could I have some of your food?” This dare requires exactly that kind of courage: “Get someone to share their lunch side dishes with you.” Prepare an empty lunch box, ask people to share their side dishes or rice, and complete your bento.
If it’s lunchtime, your chances of success seem higher and you might end up with a delicious-looking bento, but at any other time, it’s the kind of dare that just gives you a bad feeling (lol).
Even if it’s not to your taste, it’s something you received—so let’s enjoy every bite!
Under-the-desk kiss
Many people are probably looking for a punishment game that will liven things up when they’re hanging out with friends of the opposite sex.
For you, I recommend “Plastic Sheet Kiss.” You sometimes see punishment games on TV where people kiss through plastic wrap, and this is the version where you do it with a plastic sheet! Since you can’t feel the sensation directly, it’s a punishment game that’s easy to recommend to anyone!
What’s in my bag
Everyone, what do you usually carry in your bags? Some people pack a lot, others keep it minimal—either way, we all have must-have items, right? And there are those people where you think, “Are you sure that tiny bag is enough?” It makes you realize how interesting the contents of someone’s bag can be.
If my bag got checked as a punishment game… I’d kind of hate that.
I carry a lot, so people would probably say, “You even carry this?” It’d be embarrassing if there were even bits of trash in there (lol).
Say an embarrassing line while doing a kabe-don (slamming a hand against the wall to corner someone).
It’s an outrageous penalty game where you not only have to say cheesy lines—things you’d only hear in manga and would never say in real life—but you have to make it even more embarrassing by pinning the other person against a wall and delivering them with a so-called “kabe-don.” Honestly, it’s super embarrassing for the person hearing it too—kind of a penalty game for them as well, right? (lol).
If you’ve done theater, maybe you could pull it off and even get into it, but normally it’s the kind of game that makes the person doing it, the person it’s said to, and even the people watching feel embarrassed.
embarrassing tweet
Do you all use Twitter? Among social media platforms, it’s a tool where your personal hobbies and personality can really show, isn’t it? This punishment game is to post an embarrassing tweet on Twitter.
What’s more, someone else decides the content, and you have to post it.
It’s surprising when someone who usually only tweets serious things suddenly posts something wild—or the reverse pattern, too.
You end up worrying that something happened and send them a message.
So please make it something that won’t cause too much concern, okay? (lol)
Singing passionately a cappella
Many people may love karaoke, but how about singing a cappella? You can’t hide your pitch, and your vocal ability becomes glaringly obvious, right? For those who don’t like karaoke to begin with and think singing in front of others is out of the question, it might feel like an even harsher punishment game.
It might be a good idea to pick out some short, easy-to-sing songs from the start.
And you probably want to avoid filming on a smartphone and having it stick around forever afterward, too!
