Indoor activities and recreational games recommended for junior high school students (61–70)

Who am I?

#1 [Who Am I?] An icebreaker you can enjoy online! From elementary school kids to seniors! A communication game that also works as brain training!

Who am I?

Here’s an idea for a lively “Who am I?” game that everyone can enjoy.

First, choose one player to be the guesser.

Next, the questioner decides what to pretend to be.

The guesser then asks the questioner a series of questions to figure out what they’re pretending to be.

You can choose a historical figure or a fictional character, or even a food or a vehicle.

I hope everyone will work together and enjoy the process of gradually getting closer to the right answer.

Also, the questioner should try to give hints at a reasonable pace.

USA game

[Come on, baby, America] The dancing U.S.A. game was way too much fun!!!!

USA game

A lot of people probably enjoy music games that use songs.

For those people, I recommend the “USA Game.” In this game, you use the chorus of DA PUMP’s smash hit “U.S.A.” to shout out relatable ‘that’s so true’ scenarios.

If you can’t come up with one for the given prompt or you fall off the rhythm, you’re out.

La-Venue to the Future Game

[Massive Craze] The Rabinyu To The Future game got way too hyped!!

La-Venue to the Future Game

First, after the cue “Do you guys have Rabinyu to the Future?”, answer “We do,” and begin.

After that, when someone says “Rabinyu to the Future,” respond with “Slowly,” and when someone says “Rabinyu to the Fashion,” respond with “Action.” The rule of the game is: once you successfully complete this sequence six times, you start dancing.

Pachi-Pachi Narcissus

[Trending at school] Huge excitement with 'Pachi-Pachi Narushisu' lol

Pachi-Pachi Narcissus

“Pachi-Pachi Narcissist” is a game where you take turns saying numbers in order, but when a designated number comes up, instead of saying the number you passionately perform a “Narcissist.” If there’s not enough feeling, that person loses.

The method and rules are simple, but some people may feel too shy to put emotion into it.

However, if everyone sheds their shyness, the fun doubles.

paper tower

Icebreaker: “Paper Tower Building”

paper tower

Many people probably enjoy games that make you think.

For you, I recommend a game called “Paper Tower.” In this game, the rule is simple: within the time limit, whoever stacks flimsy sheets of paper the highest wins.

It’s simple, but there are plenty of ways to get creative, so use your head and think about how to build your stack.
