[You Can Do This at School!] Punishment Game Ideas That Will Get High Schoolers Excited (21–30)
butt-letter
Writing letters in the air with your butt—‘butt letters’! You wiggle your hips as you do it, which is a bit embarrassing, right? And if people can’t read it, you have to do it over and over, doubling the embarrassment! It’s a game with a funny, slightly embarrassing penalty-game vibe, but it’s also plenty of fun simply as a guessing game: figure out what’s being written.
You might get so into this that you forget the game you were playing before!
face doodle
The rules are simple: the loser gets their face doodled on as a penalty.
Using makeup tools is gentler on the skin and easier to wash off.
It’s a quick, easy-to-decide game, and doodling on each other with friends makes it really fun.
You can also take photos afterward.
wringing out a rag
If you’re looking for painful punishment games, I recommend this one: the “Dishcloth Twist.” In this game, you treat the arm like a dishcloth and twist it.
It may look a bit plain, but it hurts quite a lot for the person on the receiving end, so their reaction really livens things up.
Of course, if you do it too seriously, someone could get injured, so be sure to go easy when you do it.
Change your social media profile picture to a funny face photo
How about a penalty game where the loser has to temporarily change their social media profile picture to a funny face icon? The essential conditions are that all participants are enthusiastic and that everyone has a social media account.
It’s guaranteed to get everyone hyped.
whiteface impersonation
This is the white-face impersonation that got popular thanks to Kukki from Yasei Bakudan.
Whether it looks like the person or not doesn’t even matter anymore.
Cleaning up afterward might be quite a hassle, but as a punishment game, this is guaranteed to hype everyone up!
foot reflexology massage
Do you know any chiropractors? If you do, let’s definitely invite them to the punishment game! For those who enjoy it, it might feel more like heaven than a punishment.
However, for many people, it’s an unbearably scary penalty.
You might end up screaming from the pain.
With foot reflexology, the spots pressed can indicate fatigue in your internal organs, so take it as a good opportunity to care for your body and embrace it!
funny face
The classic funny face you often pull in photos! Whether you’re not good at it or you’ve gotten totally used to it, for the penalty game, show off your best masterpiece yet! Go for faces that make you unrecognizable or ones that might make you cry, “I can’t get married now!” Don’t be shy—these things are best when you go all in! You might get so hyped up by the penalty game that making funny faces ends up being more fun than the game itself!
Ear cleaning while resting one’s head on someone’s lap
If you’ve got a close group of friends together, this “lap pillow ear cleaning” is also highly recommended.
In this penalty game, you literally clean someone’s ears while they rest their head on your lap, but doing this with close friends can actually be even more embarrassing.
It’s pretty intense even with friends of the same sex, but if you end up doing it with a friend of the opposite sex, you might become weirdly self-conscious.
This penalty game requires two people, so be strategic about how you pair them up.
Say the name of the person you like
As a punishment game unique to students, we recommend “saying the name of the person you like.” If you’re a student, you probably have a crush among your classmates or upper/lowerclassmen.
Just making it a punishment to say who you like will really liven up the game.
It can even lead into romantic talk, so it’s a punishment game with lots of ways to build on it.
Remove the hair tie from your face without using your hands
You take a hair tie for tying up hair, make a slightly larger version of it, pull it down over your head, and stop it around your mustache area.
From there, without using your hands, you move only your face and facial muscles to work the hair tie down—past your mouth and jaw, all the way to your neck.
That’s the challenge.
Since the hair tie won’t move unless you really exaggerate your facial movements, you inevitably end up making funny faces.
Exactly—you’re basically showing off goofy faces to everyone.
A quick funny face is one thing, but keeping it up endlessly is pretty tough, isn’t it?
