Earphone Loud Telephone Game
The “Earphones-Blasting Telephone Game” is a recreational game that became hugely popular after YouTubers and others featured it.
The rules are mostly the same as a regular telephone game, but players wear earphones blasting loud music.
Because you can’t hear the other person’s voice, hilariously wrong answers tend to come out—that’s the fun of it.

3-second try!
Flip over a card with a prompt and try to say a word or perform a movement that matches it within 3 seconds.
The keys to winning are how quickly you can pull words from memory and how fast you can move your body.
There are also rules like letting the person who declared the highest number go first and not being allowed to reuse words said by the previous player, which makes for exciting mind games to prevent others from winning.
Let’s aim for victory by leveraging each person’s strengths—quick thinking, swift movements, and more.
Fastest Shiritori
“Fastest Shiritori” is, as the name suggests, a game where you play shiritori at the fastest possible speed.
It’s simple, but unlike regular shiritori, you have virtually no time to think.
On top of that, the difficulty is high because it’s a failure unless everyone can say their word! It might be tough until you get used to it, but you’re allowed to repeat words, so it helps to remember what the previous person said.
Personality test
A psychological test involves answering questions, and the choices you make reveal your true feelings.
How about incorporating this into a bus activity? Prepare a few questions and have everyone choose their answers at the same time.
Afterwards, announce, “Those who chose this answer are…” and reveal what true feelings that choice is said to indicate! People might be surprised by unexpected sides of themselves being identified, which will make things even more exciting.
Just be sure to choose psychological tests that won’t make anyone feel uncomfortable!
Panty Panty Game
Rhythm games are popular because anyone can play them easily.
If you’re looking for one, I recommend the “Panty Panty Game.” In this game, you perform choreography to the rhythm of “Panty Panty.” After you finish, you designate the next person; if someone can’t keep it going partway through, they’re out.
Try speeding up the tempo to make it increasingly challenging.
Who am I? Quiz
Who Am I? A quiz that everyone—questioners and answerers—can enjoy together.
The questioner chooses a topic and gives hints and characteristics to the answerers.
The answerers think about what the topic might be and give their answers.
It’s a fun game that nurtures and stimulates thinking and imagination.
Once you get used to it, try adding a time limit or increasing the difficulty of the questions as you go.
We also recommend using real people or historical figures as topics.
Have fun and give it a try!
Gesture Telephone Game
Let’s enjoy a gesture-only telephone game where you communicate without using words.
Form teams of about five or six people.
Once you line up in a single file, the first person checks the prompt.
Pass the prompt to the next person using only gestures, making your movements big and clear.
The last person gives the final answer to the prompt.
Exaggerating your gestures and adding facial expressions may make it easier to convey the message.
And if it doesn’t get across, thinking about how to make it clearer is part of what makes this game fun.
