Sports Chanbara76rank/position
Have you heard of Sports Chanbara? As a sport you can play in a gym, it’s a great idea to include in your school festival.
The rules are simple—you battle using air-soft swords—but it’s surprisingly engaging.
Safety is well covered too: wear protectors and there’s no need to worry about injuries.
You can even use rolled-up newspaper as a substitute sword, so you don’t need any special equipment.
It’s perfect not only for recreation with friends but also for P.E.
classes.
You’ll get to move your body to the fullest, and everyone is sure to have a blast.
Give it a try!
Doobee-doo-badoo game77rank/position
This is the “Dubi-Duba-Du Game,” which became hugely popular thanks to YouTubers like Fischer’s.
The basic rule is that while saying “Dubi-duba-du,” you point at someone, and the person who’s pointed at says “Du-du-du.” It gets more exciting if you try to make people slip up—for example, by pretending to bet fate, repeating the same pattern and then suddenly pointing at someone else, and so on.
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!
