[Gentle] Punishments (Dares) That Get Middle Schoolers Excited (11–20)
I always dance when the music starts
A lot of people are probably looking for punishment games that get you moving, right? For you, I recommend the “When the music plays, you must dance” punishment game.
The rule is simple: no matter the situation, if the designated music starts playing, you absolutely have to do the choreography and dance.
In everyday life, if the music suddenly plays and someone drops everything to start dancing… it’s pretty weird—and pretty funny, isn’t it?
Think of your own catchphrase and introduce yourself.
How about coming up with your own catchphrase and introducing yourself with it? That way it works as an embarrassing-style penalty game, and it could also be a chance to get to know each other better.
Who knows—this might even help you make more friends! If you try it, think up a catchphrase inspired by your distinctive traits, the things you like, or your hobbies.
For a laugh, it’s also fun to deliberately give yourself an over-the-top, grandiose tagline.
one-shot gag
Do you have a go-to one-shot gag for spur-of-the-moment situations? Many people probably think, “No way I have something like that!” but it might be good to be prepared for times like these.
Not many people can instantly come up with something when told to do a one-shot gag as a punishment game.
Another recommendation is to imitate the gags of famous comedians known for one-shot bits, like Haranishi from FUJIWARA or Chuei from Nagareboshi.
If you’re prepared, you don’t have to worry—so learn at least one solid one-shot gag!
Pocky game
If two people are doing the penalty game—or if there are many participants—how about trying the Pocky game? It’s that thing where two people eat a Pocky stick from opposite ends.
Even with friends of the same gender, just imagining your friend’s face getting that close is embarrassing, right? The typical rule is that you both eat from the ends, and the first person to pull away loses.
But since it’s a penalty game, feel free to make your own rules and enjoy pushing the limits.
push-up
A forfeit that both people who are bad at PE and those who are good at it can enjoy—that’s push-ups.
Doing 10 reps is a number everyone can probably manage.
It also helps with lack of exercise, and if you do it together you can encourage each other, which could even bring the class closer.
But don’t force anyone or make it stressful.
A fun, healthy forfeit for everyone—that’s push-ups.
It can even break the monotony of recess—truly killing two birds with one stone.
Give this forfeit a try!
improv impersonation
Impersonation-style penalty games are popular too.
Sometimes the person doing the penalty game gets to choose their own theme, but if you want it to feel more like a real penalty, have them do a spur-of-the-moment impression.
Since they can’t prepare in advance, they might get stuck with a tricky theme.
In that kind of situation, even if the impression doesn’t resemble the original, it’s still funny—making it an easy penalty game for getting laughs.

Swap clothes with the opposite sex
There was a trend on TikTok where couples swapped clothes, right? It’s fine for women to wear men’s clothes, but for men to wear women’s clothes, the bar is pretty high—sounds perfect for a penalty game, doesn’t it? You could swap uniforms or casual clothes…
You can kind of imagine how uniforms would turn out, but depending on the girl you borrow casual clothes from, it could be a pretty tough punishment.
After swapping outfits, let’s set up a simple stage and have them make an entrance with a model walk! That way they’ll really commit to it, more than if they just walked on normally (lol).
