Who am I?

[A Game Kids Can Enjoy] Who Am I? Quiz

“Who am I?” is a game where you personify an object and guess the correct answer from hints! For example, if the answer is “television,” you might give hints like “My face is square” or “My face changes depending on the time,” and the players figure it out from there.

You can answer questions as they come to give hints, or prepare a few hints in advance and have people guess from those.

It’s safer to decide the correct answer beforehand, but it’s also fun to spontaneously personify something in the room!

♬ Comical lively cute sports day – SOUND BANK

Let’s play with 50-sound (hiragana) cards! Here are some ideas for a hiragana-collecting game.

Once you’ve prepared cards or slips of paper with one hiragana character on each, you’re ready to go! Within a time limit, try to make as many words as you can that fit a given theme.

For example, if the theme is “animals,” you can combine characters to form words like い・ぬ (dog) or き・り・ん (giraffe).

It’s helpful to set aside space to place completed words, so it’s easy for kids to understand.

Telephone game

Narita Gospel Church Sunday School Game

Let’s play the game of Telephone, where you see if a message can be passed correctly all the way to the last person! Starting from the first person, pass the sentence along in whispers so that others can’t hear.

If the message reaches the last person without any mistakes, it’s a success.

It’s also fun and exciting if the last person acts out what they were told to reveal the correct answer!

Air-reading game

An absolute crowd-pleasing vibe-reading game! Perfect for changing up your team’s atmosphere! [Play Warm-Up 25] #TsukoTraining #Icebreaker #WarmingUp #FunGames

Let’s read the room so we don’t overlap with our friends! Here’s an idea for a “reading the room” game.

It’s a unique game that helps elementary school students develop the ability to act while watching the timing and what’s happening around them.

In a group of 4–5 players sitting in a circle, you take turns standing up while calling out numbers.

The rule is simple, but what matters is avoiding overlapping timing with your friends.

Through the game, kids can build awareness of others and quick decision-making skills.

The atmosphere is tense at the start, but when two people stand up at the same time, everyone can’t help bursting into laughter!

Question game

Special Needs Education: “Let’s Play a Question Game”

Let’s try to infer the correct answer from the responses and figure it out! Here’s an idea for a question game.

Ask the questions you think are necessary to guess what’s inside the mystery box.

Then, based on the answers, try to say what’s in the box! Through this game, you’ll develop your speaking and listening skills.

The rules are simple, so it’s easy to try with friends or family—that’s part of the fun.

Give it a try!
