Year-end and New Year party entertainment ideas: Popular ranking (31–40)

Mozzarella Cheese Game36rank/position

The purpose of playing games is to create a fun atmosphere and boost everyone’s energy, right? But depending on the members, sometimes it’s hard for people to really let loose.

That’s when you should try the Mozzarella Cheese Game.

In this game, participants take turns saying “mozzarella cheese.” However, there’s one rule: each person has to say it with more enthusiasm than the person before them.

This way, the energy naturally ramps up, making it easier to liven up your year-end party.

The world's easiest-to-understand way to do 'plate spinning,' taught by a pro

In Japanese street performance, plate spinning is also cherished as an auspicious act.

It’s the art of spinning a plate on top of a stick, and even that alone delights onlookers.

They say placing the plate on the stick is harder than spinning it.

However, if you learn the key points and practice, you can pick it up fairly quickly.

There seem to be many tricks, such as spinning multiple plates or moving the stick like a kendama to fling the plate and catch it.

Even a single plate can get the crowd excited, but why not try showcasing a variety of tricks?

bat breaking38rank/position

Kickboxing legend breaks baseball bats with his SHIN – Guinness World Records

Challenge yourself with bat-breaking, a feat that even holds a Guinness World Record! In bat-breaking, you kick the bat with your bare foot to snap it.

You’d normally think it’s impossible to break such a hard bat with a bare foot, right? But apparently, if you learn the technique, you don’t have to be a fighter to do it.

If you want to show off a strong, cool side of yourself, give it a try.

That said, there’s a risk of injury, and a broken bat can fly off dangerously.

Always make sure the surroundings are safe and that you’re in the right condition before attempting it.

Matsuken Samba39rank/position

This is a series of songs that Ken Matsudaira performed in stage kabuki-style song shows.

In particular, Matsuken Samba II drew major attention, including being performed on the NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen.

The uniquely flashy costumes—sparkling while drawing on kimono motifs—and the exuberant, festive atmosphere are especially appealing.

The glittering outfits reflect the lighting, and because they move around, they really convey a festival vibe, so it’s important to be meticulous about the costumes.

The choreography is simple, making it a piece where you want to create the mood through the overall movement.

Freestyle rap (improvised rap)40rank/position

When it comes to freestyle rap, not only how many words you know but also your technique for rhyming well gets tested.

With a focus on the sound of words, why not try a rap-like exchange and enjoy a rhythmic back-and-forth? A full-on style that follows a track can be difficult, so I recommend a format where you respond to your partner’s words with something that sounds good.

Once you get used to catching the words, speed it up, increase the number of words per turn, and gradually work your way toward a more authentic freestyle.

ventriloquism41rank/position

Ventriloquism is actually easy to start! The trick is to talk without moving your mouth much, but at first it’s best to use a stuffed toy.

It’s also fun to imitate the voice of your pet or a favorite character.

If you mix in a few simple jokes, you might get some unexpected laughs.

Just delaying your voice a little can make you look like a real ventriloquist.

If you show it off at a year-end or New Year’s party, it’s sure to be a hit.

acrostic using the Japanese syllabary (aiueo poem)42rank/position

[Masterpiece] I tried an acrostic poem and my answers were hilariously off-the-wall lol
acrostic using the Japanese syllabary (aiueo poem)

Have you ever tried an “aiueo” acrostic? It’s surprisingly fun! You make a sentence starting with a word that begins with “a,” then the next person continues with a word that begins with “i,” and so on.

The rules are simple, but it’s sure to lighten the mood! If you’re good at it, craft a clever sentence and amaze everyone.

But don’t overthink it—what’s great is that everyone can have a lively, enjoyable time together.

Give it a try sometime!
