Indoor games and recreational activities recommended for junior high school students (21–30)
Ten Times Quiz
Many people are probably looking for games they can play in short spare moments, like during breaks.
In those times, I recommend the “10 Times Game.” A classic example is saying “Cinderella” ten times, but in fact there are many variations of the 10 Times Game.
Prepare different prompts and try playing it with your friends.
Aburi Karubi Game
“Aburi karubi” is quite a tongue-twister, isn’t it? That’s exactly the phrase used in the “Aburi Karubi Game.” The rules are very simple: the first person says “aburi karubi,” and the next person says “aburi karubi” one more time than the previous person.
Anyone who trips over their words or gets the count wrong is out.
If you’ve got good diction, give it a try!

Onomatopoeia Game
This is a game that uses onomatopoeia—words that express states or movements through sound! The quizmaster presents words that match a theme, and the players respond, keeping the rhythm, with onomatopoeia that fit those words.
For example, if the theme is vegetables, you might go back and forth like “lettuce,” “crispy,” “cabbage,” “crunch,” and so on.
Although we use onomatopoeia naturally in conversation, it can be surprisingly hard to think of them when it’s a game.
As long as you have audio, you can enjoy it over Zoom and similar platforms, so why not try it with your friends?
Trust Game
@quuun_tiktok Taking on the “Trust Game” where muscle soreness is inevitable!! lolTrust Game#Biancaholloway#viralRecommendation#fyp#JK#JC#QUUUN
♪ Original song – QUUUN!! – QUUUN!!
Connect your hearts to the music! Here’s an idea for a trust-building game.
It’s a unique activity you can enjoy with friends you always spend time with—full of excitement and a little thrill.
First, hold hands and form a circle.
Gradually lower your hips and move into a squat.
Once everyone is fully squatting, stand back up together in sync.
It’s a simple game! Because it relies on trust, you’ll support each other’s balance as you sit and stand—so try it with friends you trust.
Word Reverse Game
If you’re looking for a game that’s easy to enjoy online, we recommend the “Word Reverse Game,” where you rephrase sentences that are read backwards into the correct order! The rules are so simple that they hardly need explaining, and as long as you have an audio connection, you can play anytime, anywhere—even with someone you’re connected to online.
It may sound easy, but rearranging the words using only what you hear, without writing anything down, is surprisingly tricky! Give it a try during your next LINE call with friends.
Presence Slash
This is the “Presence Slash Game,” where you swing your sword guided by others’ presence! Attach bells or other noisemakers to both hands and feet, put on a blindfold, and rely on sound and presence to slash other players.
The last person who hasn’t been slashed wins—simple rules.
It’s easier to hit with a horizontal swing, so make sure to swing vertically downward instead.
Everyone starts unable to see anything, and chaos is guaranteed! Find a spacious area and get ready to laugh together and ramp up the excitement.
Shiritori Gesture Game
A gesture-based shiritori game that will make you want to shout out loud! Guess the word suggested by the previous person’s gesture, then, just like regular shiritori, start your new gesture with the last letter of that word.
If your gesture doesn’t get across, or you use a word that ends with “n,” your team loses.
The key to this game is expressiveness.
Distinctive expressions can be hard to convey—even among close friends.
Embrace that challenge and have fun!
