Recreation Popularity Ranking for High School Students (21–30)
Drawing Telephone Game22rank/position
https://www.tiktok.com/@yamatoseiran_chourika/video/7339479110965611778With just paper and pencils, the drawing telephone game is sure to be a hit among high school students.
Form small teams, and the first person listens to the prompt.
Instead of words, they draw an illustration of the prompt and pass it to the next person.
The next person interprets the theme from the previous drawing and conveys it to the following person with another illustration.
The team that correctly transmits the original theme all the way to the last person wins.
The different drawing styles, shapes, and colors are sure to make it lively! It’s recommended to choose themes that are as simple and easy to understand as possible.
paper tower23rank/position
Let me introduce a paper tower game where you compete to see how high you can stack paper.
The key is to divide roles into parts: people who fold the paper and people who stack the folded sheets.
Make sure to build the base firmly so it won’t collapse easily.
Set a time limit, split into teams, get creative to build the tallest paper tower, and experiment with stacking strategies.
Since even a slight breeze can make the paper sway and collapse, you’ll need to stack carefully.
little thief24rank/position
Let me introduce a consensus game set in a convenience store.
The characters are: the “store manager,” “part-time worker A,” and a “boy who steals three rice balls every day.” Noticing the boy’s theft, the manager tells A to catch him and call the police.
However, A does not apprehend the boy.
Even when the manager asks why, A won’t answer, and A is ultimately fired.
Among these three, who do you think is the most at fault? Also, rank the individuals from 1 to 3 in order of blame.
It’s a question where the rankings may change depending on how you imagine the boy’s reasons for stealing.
Lyrics hijacking game25rank/position
A lyric-hijacking game where you keep taking over the lyrics from someone who’s singing and shift into a different song! You don’t need any props—what matters is how many songs you know, down to the lyrics.
If you’re a high schooler who’s up on the latest hits, tons of songs will come up and it’s guaranteed to be a blast! How to play: when someone is singing, jump in with a different song that uses the same phrase found in the lyrics they’re singing.
There’s also a rule variation where the person who manages to sing the last line of some song at the end wins.
It gets even more exciting if you add constraints like only songs by female artists or only songs by male groups!
shoot relay26rank/position
https://www.tiktok.com/@bbooks1/video/7280150697369193735Here’s a shoot relay that lets you have fun while moving your body.
Divide into teams of about three people.
Each player grabs a basketball and sprints at full speed to the marker line.
Next, dribble with your right hand and run to the line, then dribble with your left hand and run to the line.
Finally, dribble while alternating between your right and left hands and take a shot at the basket.
Stay focused all the way until you make your shot! The team that sinks their shot first wins.
Give it a try!
Vague Memory Drawing Game27rank/position
It’s a game where you recall the exact shape of the prompt you were shown and compete to see how high-quality an illustration you can draw.
It tests not only your drawing skills but also your memory—how precisely you remember the fine details of the prompt.
Let’s consider a variety of categories, such as things with tricky color placements like a panda, or logos you see around town.
Even if no one reproduces it perfectly, we recommend deciding the winner based on whose drawing is closest to the real thing.
Pose Matching Game28rank/position
State a prompt, then after counting “3-2-1!”, everyone strikes a pose that fits the prompt and tries to match each other.
Any prompt works! If every participant nails the exact same pose, you succeed! If the prompt is too easy, everyone will match too quickly, so prepare prompts that could inspire multiple possible poses.
If you have a large group, split into teams, try several prompts, and compete on how many poses you match.
A tournament format can make it even more exciting!
