We’ll introduce recreational activities for high school students in a ranked format.

But that’s exactly why you might find yourself wondering, “Which activity should we choose for our event or plan?”

In this article, we’ve gathered popular recreational activities for high school students that we recommend in those situations.

Since it’s presented as a ranking, you can see which activities are widely supported.

Be sure to use it as a reference!

Recreation Popularity Rankings for High School Students (91–100)

Memory Speech92rank/position

[Heisei Retro] The representative graduate’s speech is way too awful lol
Memory Speech

Let’s use your speech to highlight the lives each of you has led and the memories you’ve built.

It’s best to craft content that many people can relate to—for example, by weaving in things everyone noticed at the time of enrollment or feelings everyone shared.

If you create a humorous contrast by touching on frustrations from school life, you can also make the moving episodes leading up to graduation stand out.

By collecting memorable stories in advance and shaping your speech to represent everyone, you’ll be sure to energize the occasion.

Cola-making showdown using only imagination93rank/position

[Super Hard] Cola-Making Showdown Using Only Imagination!!
Cola-making showdown using only imagination

This is a recreation activity where you make cola that every high school student loves—except you do it using imagination alone, in a cola-making showdown.

It really makes you realize how difficult it is to create something without a recipe.

Drinking what you’ve made will only make things even more exciting.

No Japanese Allowed Game94rank/position

[Showdown] We tried a no-Japanese telephone game in a school classroom!
No Japanese Allowed Game

This is a game where you explain the prompt in English only—no Japanese allowed—and if the other person answers correctly in Japanese, you win.

Using literal, word-for-word English makes it less fun, so try to avoid that and get creative.

Single words are too easy, so try turning them into sentences to raise the difficulty and make it more enjoyable.

Add a bit of playful exaggeration and some gestures to make it even more lively.

water balloon95rank/position

[Sad News] We made 200 water balloons in two minutes and played with them, and then an incident happened.
water balloon

You often see water balloons at festivals and the like.

Let’s try playing with them! There’s even a product called “Bunch O Balloons” that lets you make 100 water balloons at once.

Attach one of the parts to a faucet or hose, turn on the water, and 100 balloons will fill up all at once! Once they’re inflated, toss them around and have fun.

Since you’re using water, it’s best to play during hot times like summer vacation.

Try making up fun, unique rules—like a snowball fight where getting hit means you lose—and enjoy playing with your own high school–style twists!

Aim to be the King of Sermons! S-1 Grand Prix96rank/position

[Hilarious] Aim to be the King of Lectures! The 1st S-1 Grand Prix!!!
Aim to be the King of Sermons! S-1 Grand Prix

You don’t often get the chance to lecture your friends, right? In the “Lecture King Game,” the rule is simple: the person who gives the best lecture wins.

The theme for the lecture is predetermined, so give a convincing lecture that follows it.

If you choose a prompt that’s hard to lecture about, the forced feel can be funny—give it a try for inspiration.

I wonder what’s inside the box.97rank/position

An unexpected outcome in Tomic’s “What’s in the box?” game!?
I wonder what's inside the box.

The “What’s in the Box?” game, a staple on TV shows and among YouTubers, isn’t something many high schoolers have actually tried.

When you do it for real, it’s much scarier than it looks on screen, so it’s guaranteed to get everyone hyped.

All you need is a cardboard box and something to put inside, so the prep is easier than you’d expect.

If there’s someone who gets easily scared, it becomes even more entertaining.

Figure out whether they’re undergoing a penalty game.98rank/position

Figure out who’s taking the penalty! The punishment is way too harsh lol
Figure out whether they're undergoing a penalty game.

It’s a game where you try to figure out who is actually taking the penalty.

For example, you split into teams and guess who is really eating the piping-hot oden.

People who aren’t taking the penalty are mixed into the team, so act convincingly to make it look like you are.

Conversely, it’s also valid for the person actually taking the penalty to act like they aren’t.
