Recreation Popularity Ranking for Junior High School Students (71–80)
Teleportation Game78rank/position
Everyone stands in a circle, places a rolled-up newspaper stick upright at their own spot, steps away, and before it falls, moves to the next person’s spot to quickly support their stick.
Since you can’t move into that spot until your neighbor moves, it may look like an individual challenge, but teamwork is probably important too.
Paying attention to details—like at what angle to set the stick so it stays upright and how to grip and support it—is crucial.
As the distance to your neighbor increases, quicker movement is required, so once you get used to it, we recommend gradually increasing the spacing.
Don’t Say It! game79rank/position
When you’re chatting with friends, aren’t there many people who can’t help but fire back with a witty retort when someone cracks a joke? The “Don’t Make a Comeback Game” bans those retorts.
Once the game starts, keep up a normal conversation while deliberately creating moments that invite a comeback.
It’s funny precisely because you’ll find yourself blurting out a retort even while playing.
Paper Cup Jenga80rank/position
Let’s enjoy the thrill! Here are some ideas for Paper Cup Jenga.
Jenga is a simple party game played with wooden blocks, where players take turns removing blocks from a stacked tower without toppling it.
This time, let’s put a twist on Jenga—fun for both kids and adults—using paper cups and printer paper.
It’s also great because setup and cleanup are easy.
It’s perfect for recess or short breaks, so give it a try!
Recreation Popularity Ranking for Junior High School Students (81–90)
Listen to music81rank/position
During free time or breaks when you have nothing to do, listening to music to refresh yourself is recommended.
Even if you listen to just one favorite song, you can enjoy it in a very short time.
When you have more free time, it’s nice to relax with healing music or the background music from movies and dramas.
It can be enjoyable to listen quietly by yourself, or to listen together in a group.
Simply listening to music can add color to otherwise idle moments.
If you’re a middle school student, it’s also a good idea to search for songs that are trending on social media.
Shiritori with “〇〇”82rank/position
When you’re bored, a classic way to kill time is shiritori.
Let’s level it up a bit and turn it into a game you can enjoy in real life.
Instead of just playing with words, how about doing shiritori with objects? Bring actual items from the room to play.
If you don’t have many things at home, it’ll turn into quite a challenging game.
When-Where-Who-What game83rank/position
For those who want a thrilling game, we recommend the “When, Where, Who, What” game.
In this game, you prepare slips of paper labeled with things like “when” and “where,” then draw them like a lottery.
It’s fun to create silly combinations and enjoy them, but as a penalty game, actually doing what you draw adds a thrilling twist and makes it even more entertaining.
Mega Ginton84rank/position
“Mecha Ginton” is a game created as a segment of the TV show “Mecha-Mecha Iketeru!” and became popular throughout Japan.
The basic rule is to answer with onomatopoeic words that match the given prompt.
After a series of easy prompts, you can try a “killer pass” on a difficult one—have fun experimenting with different strategies.
