Hoka-hoka Janken
Unique chants make it fun! Here’s an idea for “Hoka-Hoka Janken.” Split into two teams and have players take turns playing rock-paper-scissors.
Use the chant, “Janken, Hoka Hoka, Hokkaido!” before each round.
The representative of the team that wins stays on the spot, while the loser passes the turn to the next person on their team.
There are also variations where the team sizes change, so once everyone gets used to the game, try some tweaks for extra fun!
Dosukoi Game
@ve4snxqh♬ original sound – LUMINARY FOR CARS – LUMINARY FOR CARS
Dosukoi is a game that seems like it would get really lively with four players.
Everyone keeps their thumbs down, then one person (the caller) says “Dosukoi [vowel sound/letter]” and a single character.
After that, players randomly raise whichever thumbs they want.
Combining the number of raised thumbs with the first letter the caller said, the first person to quickly say a word that matches that pattern—[word] dosukoi—wins.
Because you have to rhythmically find a word with that number of syllables/characters, it’s a game that uses both your brain and your reflexes.
Some people also use an extra rule that allows players who have already dropped out to give answers.
Mozzarella Cheese Game
Great for breaking the ice! Here are some ideas for the Mozzarella Cheese Game.
In recent years, it’s likely a game many people have tried.
The rules are simple: in a group, players take turns saying the word “mozzarella cheese,” and each person must say it with more enthusiasm than the person before them.
If it’s hard to judge the level of enthusiasm, you can adapt the rule to require speaking louder than the previous person instead.
It’s a fun way to help ease nerves at a party.

Double-Double Fight! Game
This is a game played to the song “Baibai FIGHT!” by CANDY TUNE.
Players sing along to the rhythm in the order that words resembling “bai” or “fight,” and similar-sounding words, are arranged, competing to see who can clear it.
When various types of cards are laid out or tongue-twisting words are included, it gets confusing, so your quick reflexes are tested too.
You sing in turn, but it’s nerve-racking wondering what word will come up on your turn.
It really gets everyone hyped, so give it a try!
Say one thing, do the opposite game
In this game, players are divided into one person who gives instructions and everyone else.
The others hold hands or link arms.
When the instructor gives a command of “say the same, do the opposite,” the players must do the opposite of what is said.
As the tempo increases or the game goes on longer, people tend to lose focus or get confused, making it more difficult.
Also, depending on the instructor’s call, there will sometimes be “say the same, do the same,” so be careful not to miss those instructions as well.
Rock-Paper-Scissors Train Game
Let me introduce the Rock-Paper-Scissors Train game.
Move around the room pretending to be a freight train to the music of a freight train.
When the music stops, play rock-paper-scissors with a friend.
The person who loses places their hands on the winner’s shoulders, boards the same train, and sets off together.
Repeat this process to add more friends to your freight train.
When everyone is riding on the same train and departs together at the end, the game is complete.
Try speeding up or slowing down the music to match the children’s pace and have fun!
Sukiyaki Rock-Paper-Scissors Game
Here’s a Sukiyaki Rock-Paper-Scissors game that everyone—from kids to adults—can enjoy.
Prepare cards with pictures of sukiyaki.
Divide participants into small family groups and assign roles like father, mother, and child.
The game leader and each family’s representative play rock-paper-scissors; the winner draws a sukiyaki ingredient card.
The first family to collect all the sukiyaki ingredients wins.
You can make the game even more exciting by adding more ingredients to the sukiyaki!
