Clap-Clap Game
@mimasakadaigaku A clapping game you can use for class activities! It’s super easy, so give it a try!#Mimasaka University#Pachi-Pachi GameClass party/activity
♬ Pretty and fun Marimba song – Azuline
It’s a simple, exciting game where you watch the person in front and enjoy their movements.
The person in front extends their left hand and moves their right hand as if to hover above it, and at the exact moment the two hands line up perfectly, everyone watching claps at once.
The suspense of waiting to see when to clap is fun, and occasional feints spark laughter—that’s the charm.
The rules are easy to understand, and you can join while seated, so it’s perfect for thank-you parties and similar events.
It’s a game that everyone can enjoy together and that creates a great sense of unity in the room.
Jumbo Karuta
Isn’t this a game everyone plays around New Year’s? Let me introduce “Jumbo Karuta.” It’s played by enlarging the cards used in regular karuta.
Instead of flicking the cards with your hand as usual, the cards are so big that you run or slide to grab them.
It’s also fun to create your own set by arranging the content of the karuta.
Giant fukuwarai with the teacher’s face
Fukuwarai, a traditional New Year’s game popular with children, is turned into a unique activity by making it huge and using photos of the teachers who’ve helped you.
Play it with the teachers who are present, and once the pieces are arranged, compare the result to the real teacher—everyone’s sure to have a great time!
Get hyped! 5 bizarre relay races
When it comes to activities that are easy to set up and get both kids and adults excited, relays are the way to go.
In bingo relays, color-matching relays, hand-holding relays, obstacle relays, and pinnie (bib) relays, it’s not just running speed that matters—being able to read the situation and think on your feet is key.
Because these games incorporate a variety of movements, children won’t get bored and will feel motivated to take on the next challenge.
Everyone gets to be the star, working together and having fun, so be sure to try these relay games at your thank-you party.
Newspaper Rock-Paper-Scissors & Balance Relay
Let’s have fun with a rock-paper-scissors game and a balance relay using newspaper.
The rock-paper-scissors game is played in pairs: after each round, the loser folds their sheet of newspaper.
The player who can no longer stand on their folded newspaper loses.
In the balance relay, you place a sheet of newspaper on your head and move along the course without dropping it.
Be careful—noticing that you want to pass the baton quickly and start running will make the newspaper fall.
Both are exciting ideas, so please enjoy them at the thank-you party.
Gesture Game
We tell only one child the correct answer.
For example, if the answer is “cat,” the child who knows it will act out a cat so the others can guess.
It’s a simple game, but because they have to use gestures based solely on their own image without using words, you get funny movements, completely different answers, and a game that both adults and children can enjoy together.
Team Competition! True or False Game
@soramame.sensei Hello! This is Kotoba no Kyoushitsu Soramame Kids. We’re playing a team-based tic-tac-toe game! It gets surprisingly heated, so staying hydrated is a must.

It’s a simple competitive game that both kids and adults can enjoy together.
Participants split into two teams, and at the starting signal they take turns placing one O and one X for their team on the grid.
The rules are simple: each person must make exactly one move before switching to the next player, spaces are first-come-first-served, and you can’t overwrite a mark.
When time is up, the team that has lined up more of their marks vertically, horizontally, or diagonally wins! Strategy and speed are the keys to victory.
With kids and adults cheering together, it’s guaranteed to be a blast.
