Birthday line

The birthday line we want middle school students to enjoy is a game where you line up in order by communicating your birthday using only gestures, without words.

It’s also a great chance to learn classmates’ birthdays—something you might not easily find out unless you get close.

The key is to use your hands and body to express numbers.

When everyone works together, it builds a sense of unity.

Misunderstandings or unexpected movements can spark laughter, and the sense of achievement and joy after the game is another highlight.

It’s perfect for indoor recreation during breaks or after school, so be sure to try it with your friends.

Restricted Shiritori24rank/position

Restricted Shiritori

An idea for a guaranteed heated game: restricted shiritori.

The basic rules are the same as usual.

However, there’s an added rule that imposes a restriction related to any word once it’s been used.

For example, if one person answers “suika” (watermelon), the other players decide a restriction related to watermelon.

Possible restrictions could be “foods with seeds,” “symbols of summer,” or even “three-letter foods,” and so on.

I hope you’ll enjoy not only the game but also deciding what kinds of restrictions to set.

Drawing Telephone Game25rank/position

SixTONES – Drawing Telephone Game: Who’s the Master Artist!?
Drawing Telephone Game

This is a telephone game where you pass along a prompted theme by drawing it without using words.

Each person draws their own picture based on the theme they interpret from the previous person’s drawing, so depending on drawing skill and interpretation, the theme can drift significantly.

It’s more difficult than conveying it with words, so if the last person can infer the theme, it’s a big success; if not, let’s review how it went off track.

To adjust the overall difficulty, it’s also recommended to check everyone’s drawing level before starting the game.

Buzzer-beater showdown26rank/position

Fastest-finger showdown (indoor recreation)

Compete using counters! Here are some ideas for a fast-tap showdown.

It’s a simple, easy-to-understand game, making it a unique idea you can try casually in your spare time.

All you need is a handheld tally counter.

See who can reach the highest number within the time limit.

Each participant’s tapping style shows their personality, which should be entertaining for the audience as well.

Adding perks for the winner or a penalty game for the last-place finisher could make it even more exciting!

Whose Voice Game27rank/position

Perfect for end-of-term parties! Three team-based activities that will liven up the event
Whose Voice Game

Form teams of several people, and have the representative team come to the front.

One person will speak, and the other teams should listen with their eyes closed.

It’s a game where you guess whose voice it is.

If the whole team guesses correctly, they earn 1 point! Repeat this, and the team with the most points at the end wins.

The speaking team should try to disguise who it is by changing their voice or doing impressions.

Prepare slips of paper or mini whiteboards for everyone to write their guesses.

You can also play it as an individual competition.

It’s funny how you get tripped up even when you think you’ve got it! Here’s an idea for a “Say the same, do the opposite” game.

It’s a great way to get moving even indoors! The rules are simple: while saying the instructed word exactly as given, you perform the opposite action.

For example, if the instruction is “Forward!”, participants should repeat “Forward” while jumping backward.

The key actions involve front, back, left, and right! Since it doesn’t require knowledge or strategy, it’s an easy and welcoming game for first-timers too.
