Recreation popularity rankings for junior high school students

We’re introducing popular recreational activities for junior high schoolers in a ranking format!

When someone asks, “What kinds of activities do junior high school students enjoy?” do you have something that comes to mind right away?

Many people probably find themselves thinking, “Hmm… I’m not sure.”

Even for junior high schoolers themselves, when a large group gets together, it can be hard to know which activities to choose.

In times like that, be sure to check out this article and use it as a reference.

If you’re planning recreation for an event aimed at junior high school students, this will definitely come in handy!

Chorus Quick-Sing Game

If you’re looking to have fun with friends who love karaoke, try the “Chorus Quick-Sing Game,” where someone calls out a song title and you compete to see who can start singing the chorus first.

Knowing lots of songs is important, of course, but the real key to this game is quick reflexes! How fast you can react to the title will make or break your chances of winning.

If you’re feeling a bit down because you haven’t been meeting up with everyone lately and haven’t been to karaoke in a while, don’t worry—this game is perfect for getting everyone excited even online!

Table tennis is gaining popularity thanks to the outstanding performances of Japanese players.

You might want to try it, but joining a school club is tough, and it’s not easy to get access to a table…

In times like these, we recommend playing table tennis on an ordinary table! In English, table tennis is literally “table tennis.” Just like the name suggests, you can use the table right in front of you.

There are sets available that include a net you can attach to a table, so you can use one of those, or simply decide on a center line without putting up a net—both are fine! With just a racket and a ping-pong ball, your desk can become a table tennis table in no time.

If you’re a middle school student who’s dying to play table tennis, give it a try!

“Nanjamonja Game” is a card game that became hugely popular thanks to YouTubers and social media.

In this card game, you use cards featuring cute monsters.

You flip over cards; if a monster appears for the first time, you give it a nickname, and if the same monster appears again, you must instantly say the nickname you gave it.

That’s the rule.

Papipupe Papiko Game88rank/position

The “Papipupe Papico Game” is recommended for anyone looking for a quick game you can play anywhere.

The game starts when someone suddenly points at another person and says “Papico.” That person then points at someone else and says “Pipico,” followed by “Pupico,” “Pepico,” and “Popico” in order.

From the second round onward, it becomes “Panpapico,” “Pinpipico,” and so on.

If you make a mistake along the way, you’re out.

Panty Panty Game89rank/position

"Panty Panty Game" — Introducing a game that gets super hype with friends!!
Panty Panty Game

Rhythm games are popular because anyone can play them easily.

If you’re looking for one, I recommend the “Panty Panty Game.” In this game, you perform choreography to the rhythm of “Panty Panty.” After you finish, you designate the next person; if someone can’t keep it going partway through, they’re out.

Try speeding up the tempo to make it increasingly challenging.

Magical Mushroom90rank/position

[Magical Mushroom] Easy and super hype! UTokyo students play a rapid-fire nitpicking and quick-calling game
Magical Mushroom

The “Magical Mushroom Game” is a so-called word association game where you start with “speaking of mushrooms…” and keep linking words that come to mind.

Under the usual rules, you connect associated words, but apparently there’s also a rule where you link completely unrelated words instead.

Even if words seem unrelated at first glance, some actually are connected, and if someone points that out, you’re out.

Mozzarella Cheese Game91rank/position

[Insane Game] Mozzarella Cheese Game
Mozzarella Cheese Game

This is the “Mozzarella Cheese Game,” where you just keep saying “mozzarella cheese.” You might wonder what’s fun about it, but there’s only one rule: say “mozzarella cheese” with higher energy than the person before you.

If you start off too hyped, you’ll pay for it later, so begin gently.

It’s a contest of expressiveness.
