Doable at School! Punishment Game Ideas That Get High Schoolers Fired Up (41–50)
air chair
Among physical penalty games, there’s the “air chair.” This involves holding a seated posture despite there being no chair.
You’ll realize when you try it that it puts considerable strain on your thighs and around your knees.
If it’s too difficult, try doing it with your back against a wall.
In that position, it’s also easier to add variations like crossing your legs.
It can also be fun to combine it with another penalty game while holding the pose.
As an aside, the air chair is actually a legitimate training exercise, so you can’t categorically call it just a penalty game.
one-shot gag
For aspiring comedians, it’s a perfect chance to show off your material, but for everyone else, it’s an embarrassing one-shot gag you’d rather avoid! You can imitate whatever’s trendy at the moment, or just do whatever comes to mind—anything goes! Of course, doing impressions as your one-shot gag is fine too! If you’ve lost the game, steel yourself and pull it off without being shy!
Play the sound of scraping a blackboard.
I think many people find the sound of nails scraping on a chalkboard unpleasant.
If you’re playing a game in the classroom, how about making the loser listen to the sound of fingernails on the board? Just keep in mind that others will hear it too, so you might need to come up with a way to handle that.
wink
It’s about having them go all out with a wink—strongly associated with idol-style fan service—to highlight their cuteness.
While it’s a simple motion of closing just one eye, have them think carefully about how to make it genuinely cute.
Getting them to pursue their own version of cuteness will also add to the embarrassment when the wink is perfected.
People who are good at it can pull it off smoothly, so it’s recommended to have someone who seems less confident give it a try.
Death Sauce
Death Sauce, which can be easily found at variety stores and other shops that sell imported foods, is a classic choice for punishment games.
Tabasco and similar sauces can be used as substitutes.
The spicy reactions are guaranteed to liven things up.
Give it a try with your friends.
List five good things about the questioner!
Have the game winner list five good things about the person receiving the penalty.
We don’t often get the chance to tell our friends or partners what we like about them directly.
Even if we think it, it can be pretty embarrassing to say it face-to-face.
But that’s exactly why it works as a penalty! Use this penalty to encourage honest expressions of feelings.
It may be embarrassing for the speaker, but it will make the receiver happy and give both of you a great opportunity to grow closer.
Original composition performance
Many people are probably looking for embarrassing-style penalty games.
For those people, I recommend this one: the “Perform Your Original Song” penalty game.
The rule is simple—seriously perform a song you composed yourself.
Don’t act shy about it; doing it earnestly actually doubles the fun.
So try composing a song in earnest and perform it for everyone.
Expose my dark past
It doesn’t require any preparation or tools and is easy to do, but it’s a subtly tough punishment game.
Even though it’s a punishment game, it might make the listeners feel so embarrassed that they want to cover their ears.
By all means, share a cringeworthy story from your embarrassing past as the punishment.
Compliment the people around you
The longer you spend together, the fewer chances you may have to express your feelings straightforwardly.
How about letting out those hidden feelings inside you by wholeheartedly praising the people around you? It can be embarrassing for the person sharing their feelings, and it will likely make the person being praised feel shy too.
While clearly revealing what you’ve truly thought about that person, let’s also pay attention to the reactions of both the one who speaks and the one who receives the message.
Speak in gyaru slang
A punishment game where you have to ditch your usual way of speaking and talk in gyaru slang.
The key is that the gap between embarrassment and hyped-up energy makes everyone crack up.
By throwing out words that some generations won’t even understand—like “Should I say something totally KY?” or “That’s seriously lit-lilt!”—viewers will be dying to jump in with reactions.
The more serious the person, the more embarrassed they get, and watching them struggle to talk like a gyaru while blushing instantly lifts the whole mood.
Setting a time limit and making it a back-and-forth conversation amps things up even more and makes playful exchanges with others happen naturally.
It’s a high-impact punishment game where the swings in energy create the laughs.
