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!

Recreation Popularity Rankings for Middle Schoolers (91–100)

Picture shiritori99rank/position

Lose and you have to do WHAT!? We did a massive drawing shiritori battle with bad artists and it went horribly wrong lol
Picture shiritori

Picture shiritori, a version of the word-linking game where you draw instead of speak, is a quick and fun pastime you can enjoy even during free time in middle school! The rules are the same as regular shiritori: you keep drawing pictures that start with the last sound of the previous picture’s name.

What’s different from the regular version is that, depending on how well someone draws, the next person might not be able to tell what it is and fail to continue.

Even among skilled artists, drawings can be so good they’re hard to recognize! As long as you have the school essentials—writing tools and paper like a notebook—you can play anytime.

It’s an easy, low-effort game that always gets people excited.

Arm Wrestling Tournament100rank/position

If everyone in Fischer's held an arm-wrestling tournament, the result would be totally unexpected!!
Arm Wrestling Tournament

How about arm wrestling as an idea that requires no preparation or practice and is guaranteed to get everyone excited? Everyone knows arm wrestling: two people face each other, rest one elbow on the table, clasp hands, and start.

The winner is the one who pushes the opponent’s arm down.

It’s so simple and universally known that it’s bound to be a hit! You could make it a team competition where the next challenger steps in each time someone loses.

You could also split men and women into separate brackets, or if you mix genders, introduce handicaps to even things out.
