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!

Recreation Popularity Rankings for Middle Schoolers (91–100)

La-Venue to the Future Game

First, after the cue “Do you guys have Rabinyu to the Future?”, answer “We do,” and begin.

After that, when someone says “Rabinyu to the Future,” respond with “Slowly,” and when someone says “Rabinyu to the Fashion,” respond with “Action.” The rule of the game is: once you successfully complete this sequence six times, you start dancing.

Telepathy Game

The perfect activity for a farewell gathering where all the junior high school students come together is the “Telepathy Game.” The comedy duo Shimofuri Myojo—Seiya and Soshina—have also experienced its appeal and convey the importance of communication.

The game is simple, but it offers a memorable and fun time while confirming the bonds among team members.

For example, matching answers to a prompt like “What’s the classic rice-ball filling?” is a great opportunity to check shared memories and values.

Of course, it can be enjoyed in a remote setting as well.

It’s an ideal recreation to warmly color the farewell moment and perfect for creating memories with classmates.

The Final Homeroom: A Surprise Chorus for the Teacher
A surprise chorus for the teacher

For the farewell party that marks the end of your junior high school days, a surprise chorus expressing gratitude to your teachers will make for an unforgettable gift.

Let all the students join their voices together to thank your teachers for the days you’ve shared.

Classics like “Tsubasa wo Kudasai” or memorable songs beloved in your classroom are suitable choices, but popular songs such as SEKAI NO OWARI’s “Present” or SUPER BEAVER’s “Arigatou” are also recommended.

A surprise chorus will deepen the bond between students and teachers at this milestone of graduation and create memories that will last a lifetime.

Lip-sync game95rank/position

[Lip Reading] Can you tell what someone’s saying just from their lip movements?!
Lip-sync game

It’s a lip-reading game where someone says a simple sentence, you mute the audio and watch the video, then try to guess what they’re saying.

It sounds easy, but when you actually try it, people come up with all sorts of different answers.

Strangely enough, once someone suggests something, you start to see it that way.

If you can get it exactly right word for word, you’re a lip-sync master!

Finger Smash96rank/position

We tried 'Yubi-suma' with 100 people, and here's what happened…
Finger Smash

It’s that “Yubi-suma” game they showed on TV.

It’s also famous for having different names depending on the region and generation.

You put both hands out in fists, and at the “Yubi-suma” call, you call out a number.

At that moment, you either raise your thumb or keep it down.

If the total number of thumbs raised matches the number you called, you can remove one hand.

The first person to remove both hands wins.

No Voiced-Sound Game97rank/position

The no-dakuten game is way harder than I imagined lololol
No Voiced-Sound Game

Voiced sounds refer to “muddy” sounds like da and ji.

For example, daijoubu and gomen are words that contain voiced sounds.

This game is about having a conversation while banning these voiced sounds.

When you talk, choose a topic and discuss it.

Saying you won’t talk is not allowed.

Remove the voiced sounds and keep the conversation going.

If you answer reflexively, you’ll end up speaking as usual, so be careful.

Announcing that there will be a penalty game for each voiced sound used will make it more thrilling!

Don’t Laugh TikTok98rank/position

[Ab-Crunching Laughter] Episode 1! The TikTok where you're absolutely not allowed to laugh!!
Don't Laugh TikTok

Let’s play a game using TikTok called “Try Not to Laugh: TikTok Edition.” We’ll all watch funny, laugh-out-loud videos on TikTok together.

Just watching might not be that exciting, right? How about we try watching while holding a sip of a drink in our mouths—if you laugh, you’ll end up spitting it out! Of course, that could get a bit messy, so don’t forget to have something ready to catch the spills!
