Fun activities for junior high school students. Recreation games.

Pose Matching Game

What's IMP.'s synchro rate!? We tried a 7-person pose-matching game and it was way too hard!! #46

The more people you have, the more exciting it might get! Let me introduce a pose-matching game.

As the name suggests, everyone strikes a pose together on the count of “Ready, go!” to match a given prompt, and if every pose matches, you succeed.

Prompts can be anything everyone knows—animals, characters, different professions, or people you know.

With larger groups, you can make it a team competition where the first team to get a perfect match wins—that sounds fun too.

It’s a unique game that puts teamwork to the test.

Give it a try!

table tennis

As a result of practicing seriously at the classroom desk [Desk Ping pong]

Table tennis is gaining popularity thanks to the outstanding performances of Japanese players.

You might want to try it, but joining a school club is tough, and it’s not easy to get access to a table…

In times like these, we recommend playing table tennis on an ordinary table! In English, table tennis is literally “table tennis.” Just like the name suggests, you can use the table right in front of you.

There are sets available that include a net you can attach to a table, so you can use one of those, or simply decide on a center line without putting up a net—both are fine! With just a racket and a ping-pong ball, your desk can become a table tennis table in no time.

If you’re a middle school student who’s dying to play table tennis, give it a try!

Grandma Telephone Game

[Huge Laughter] We tried a telephone game with Grandma and it was so fun we laughed our abs off lol

The telephone game is a classic as a recreational activity, right? With a little twist to make it even more fun, we have the “Grandma Telephone Game.” In this version, you have to pass along the message without showing your teeth.

Because of that, if you start laughing, you’re out, and the way you speak ends up sounding like a grandma—which makes it all the more amusing.

Team Gesture Game Competition

Team Gesture Quiz Battle!

It’s a game where one person on the team looks at a prompt and acts it out with gestures, while the other members try to guess what it is.

It tests the team’s ability to cooperate—choosing movements that are as clear as possible and carefully observing even the small details.

Setting a time limit to push for quicker answers is also recommended; the rush to convey the idea might lead to some funny, unexpected movements.

If you gradually make the prompts more detailed and difficult, you’ll likely start to see each person’s unique style in which parts they focus on when they move.

Reverse Playback Telephone Game

[Hilarious] Everyone, let’s play the reverse playback telephone game together!! #Justistar #ReversePlayback #Comedy

Do you know the reverse-playback telephone game that’s great for high school students? You use a smartphone app to record a word or phrase, play it backwards, and then pass it along by imitating that strange sound.

When the last person’s recording is played in reverse, can they guess the original word? It’s much more fun than the regular telephone game, so I recommend it.

Try it when you get together with friends.

It’s easy to enjoy anywhere—like in a classroom or café—so it’s perfect for breaks or weekends.

Make it a team competition, and it’ll be even more exciting.

You’re sure to have a great time.

First Impressions Game

First Impressions Game: We guessed each other's personalities upon first meeting. With rewards included.

A first-impression game recommended for junior high school students.

It’s a simple game that helps deepen bonds with friends.

All you have to do is nominate someone based on the prompt, so you can start right away.

With LINE calls or Zoom, you can enjoy it with friends who are far away, too.

You’ll learn how everyone sees each other and might discover new sides of your friends.

It’s bound to be full of laughter.

Just remember to be considerate of others’ feelings—that’s the key.

Try it during break time, after school, or at a party at home in all kinds of situations.

It will surely become a fun memory.

Came Alone Game

@mimasakadaigaku

I came alone game! It’s guaranteed to get everyone hyped, so give it a try! If you watch the video, I think you’ll understand the rules!#Mimasaka UniversityIcebreakerRecreation

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!
