Indoor recreation popularity ranking (51–60)
Do-Re-Mi Song Game57rank/position
“The Do-Re-Mi Song Game” is a game that became popular thanks to comedians and YouTubers.
In this game, you use the lyrics and melody of the well-known Do-Re-Mi song.
A pitch is suddenly specified, and the chosen person must sing the melody and lyrics starting from that pitch.
It sounds easy when you just listen, but when you try it, it’s actually quite difficult! When you sing on the spot, the pitch and lyrics tend to get mixed up, which makes it very funny for the audience to hear.
Nanjamonja Game58rank/position
Nanjamonja is a board game where you give names to characters from the Nanjamonja Tribe and play.
Players take turns flipping one card at a time from a face-down deck.
If the character is appearing for the first time, you can name it however you like.
The next time the same character appears, quickly say the name you decided.
Whoever says it first gets all the cards in the middle.
When all the cards are gone, the player with the most cards wins.
People’s unique naming styles make it a simple yet super exciting game!
Antonym Game59rank/position
It’s a game where, to the rhythm, you answer with the antonym of the previous person’s word.
An antonym means an opposite word—“small” is a good example as the antonym of “big.” Players sit in a circle, choose a starting person, and go clockwise.
The fun twist is that it’s okay to say a word that doesn’t have a true antonym.
For example, if someone says “apple,” you can answer “banana”—as long as the group accepts it as an antonym, anything goes! Don’t overthink it; just say whatever comes to mind and have fun.
Came Alone Game60rank/position
@mimasakadaigaku I came alone game! It’s guaranteed to get everyone hyped, so give it a try! If you watch the video, I think you’ll understand the rules!#Mimasaka UniversityIcebreakerRecreation
Heaven and Hell – Offenbach
Recommended games that are fun even with large groups! Here are ideas for the “I came alone” game.
These are large-group ideas you can play in class recreation, too.
Once everyone sits in a circle so you can see all the participants, you’re ready to start! The first person raises a hand and says, “I came alone!” Then the next two people raise their hands and say, “We came as two!” Next, three people, then four, and so on; after reaching five, it goes back to one.
Once you get used to it, it’s also fun to arrange it as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!

@ick_inc Sorting game! Can you pull it off brilliantly?!#ick CorporationA company that wants to go viralTranslationTranslation Challenge video

Let’s use the hints to figure out the answer! Here’s an idea for a rearrangement game.
It’s a great recreation activity for breaks or free time! Once you’ve prepared five types of drinks with two bottles each (like plastic bottled drinks), you’re ready to go! It’s a simple game where you rearrange the drinks and guess the correct order.
The key is for each person to move one item per turn to work toward the correct arrangement.
It’s helpful if the caller can tell the players how many drinks are currently in the correct position.
It looks easy, but it really makes you think! You can also adapt it using stationery or other items instead of drinks.
Spinach Game62rank/position
The “Spinach Game” is where you hold some spinach and pass it along to others.
You won’t know what’s fun about it or why it gets exciting until you try it—it’s mysteriously entertaining.
First, everyone sits in a circle, and the starting player holds two bunches of spinach.
If they’re holding two in their closed fists, they pass the spinach to someone else to a three-beat rhythm, saying, “Spinach, spinach, spinach.” The person who receives it does the same and keeps passing it on, but they can also hand the two bunches to two different people.
In that case, it becomes a two-beat rhythm: “Spinach, spinach.” You track where the spinach goes with your eyes, and when it comes to you, you pass it on to the rhythm.
As the speed picks up, everything gets tangled up—and that’s when it gets even more fun (lol).
Tasting/Comparative testing of XX63rank/position
Tasting games are one of those party activities that really get people excited, aren’t they? For foods, choosing familiar items with lots of varieties—like potato chips or chocolate—makes it more fun.
For drinks, you could use green tea, black tea, or coffee.
These days, convenience stores offer a range of coffees from different brands, so if you’re a coffee fan, why not give it a try? Will people say, “As expected!” or will it turn out you were all talk? Depending on the results, things might change going forward (lol).
Grab a blindfold and give it a shot!
