YES/NO Quiz

YES/NO Quiz

A key point of “Yes/No Quiz,” where you work toward finding the answer, is that it’s a game enjoyed by splitting into a question master and questioners.

The question master chooses a topic and answers the questioners’ questions with only “Yes” or “No.” The questioners listen to the answers and try to figure out what the topic is.

To narrow down the answer, it’s important for the questioners to think carefully as they ask their questions.

It’s also a great game for team competitions, so let’s all have fun together.

[Jump or Don’t Jump] A no-equipment movement game you can play right away☆ Listening and decision-making are key☆ “Who’s the hasty kid?!”
Fly! Don't Fly Game

The “Jump or Don’t Jump” game is an easy group activity that gets more exciting with more players.

Participants line up side by side in a single row.

The leader gives commands using one of the phrases: “tobe” (jump), “jump,” or “tobuna” (don’t jump).

When participants hear the command, they should take one step forward by jumping.

If they step forward on the wrong word, they must return to the starting line and begin again.

The first person to reach the goal wins.

It can be even more fun if the leader mixes in tricky phrases to try to fool the players.

Imitation shiritori

Participants face each other and stand on one leg.

Decide the order with rock-paper-scissors or similar, and the first person starts the word chain game (shiritori).

The basic rule of linking words stays the same, but after saying a word, you have to do an impression that matches it.

For example, if you say “gorilla,” you might pound your chest with your fists.

Everyone else copies the impression, and the shiritori continues.

It might sound easy, but you must stay on one leg the entire time.

If you lose your balance or can’t continue the word chain, you lose.

The more people there are, the harder it gets! Finger Catch

The “Finger Catch Game,” which trains your reflexes and lets everyone have fun, is played with everyone standing in a circle.

Put the index finger of your right hand into the open palm of the person to your right, just lightly touching it.

In turn, participants chant, “Ka, ka, ka, catch,” and at the moment someone says “catch,” everyone tries to pull out the finger they had inserted.

At the same time, you must quickly grab the finger that’s been inserted into your own open hand before it escapes.

If you fail to pull your finger out or fail to catch your neighbor’s finger, you’re out.

The last person remaining wins.

The exact timing of saying “catch” is key.

It’s a game that tests concentration, timing, and careful observation of others.
