Back Telephone (a game like “Chinese whispers” played by tracing on someone’s back)50rank/position

[First Post] We tried a telephone game by drawing on each other’s backs as college students, and it turned out horribly!

Focus your nerves on your back and take on the game! Here are some ideas for a Back-Telephone game.

In a regular telephone game, once a theme is chosen, the first person passes it on to the next person using words or gestures, and so on, aiming to convey the original theme correctly to the last person.

This time, try conveying it by writing on each other’s backs instead of using words or gestures.

Animals and characters make great themes! Once you get used to it, try increasing the difficulty with sentences or logos—it sounds like it could be a lot of fun!

[48-Four Eight] We showed the new-generation YouTubers what adults can really do [Kickbase]

Work together with your classmates as a team and compete! Here’s an idea for kickbase.

Kickbase is a game that’s especially fun with a large group.

By splitting into teams and playing against each other, everyone can enjoy the game while rediscovering the importance of teamwork and cooperation.

You can also make use of spacious areas like a memorable schoolyard or gymnasium, which makes running and kicking the ball more dynamic and helps refresh both body and mind.

Through the game, your bonds with classmates will deepen, and you’ll create fun memories that will last.

Back-to-Back God-Tier Plays: A Serious Dodgeball Showdown with Fischer's!!

If you’re looking for a game that gets classmates or club members excited, dodgeball is a great choice.

The rules are simple so anyone can enjoy it, yet it tests teamwork and strategy, helping participants build stronger bonds.

Not only does the intense movement improve athletic ability, it also sharpens split-second decision-making and the skill of anticipating opponents’ moves.

You can add twists like student-versus-teacher matches, and you might even see typically quiet people shine unexpectedly.

It’s easy to try in a variety of settings, indoors or outdoors, so gather your friends and have a blast!

Fruits Basket53rank/position

[English × Physical Play] 08 Fruit Basket Game

English Twist! Here’s a fun Fruit Basket idea.

Prepare a number of chairs that is one fewer than the number of players.

The rules are the same as the classic Fruit Basket game! Divide everyone into teams by the four seasons.

The game starts with the call, “When is the season?” The person standing in the middle then calls out a specific season.

The team of the season that’s called stands up and moves to a different chair from the one they were sitting in.

If “All seasons!” is called, everyone stands up and switches the chairs they’re sitting in.

International Riddle Contest54rank/position

[Tough Riddles Galore] Who’s the genius that can compete on the world stage? International Riddle Tournament!

Quizzes are a classic staple of recreation.

But it’s easy to get stuck wondering, “What kind of questions should I prepare?” That’s why I’d like to suggest a World Riddle Tournament.

In this activity, participants tackle riddles that are beloved in different countries around the world.

It’s not only fun—it’s also a great way to learn about each country’s unique values and culture.

Some riddles are quite challenging and can’t be solved without knowledge of English, so if answers aren’t coming, try offering hints to keep things enjoyable.

[Brain Training] Brain Exercise Gymnastics for Seniors! After-the-Fact Rock-Paper-Scissors [Mental Workout]

If you’re looking for a casual, equipment-free recreation, how about after-the-fact rock-paper-scissors? It might sound too simple, but it’s surprisingly engaging! With rock-paper-scissors, we instinctively want to win.

Because we usually play with winning in mind, being required to “lose” when you go second suddenly makes it much tougher.

Of course, you can also set the condition to “win”! This fast-paced game—where you keep winning or keep losing—really fires up a crowd, and turning it into a tournament makes it a hit even with large groups!

Let’s use the hints to figure out the answer! Here’s an idea for a rearrangement game.

It’s a great recreation activity for breaks or free time! Once you’ve prepared five types of drinks with two bottles each (like plastic bottled drinks), you’re ready to go! It’s a simple game where you rearrange the drinks and guess the correct order.

The key is for each person to move one item per turn to work toward the correct arrangement.

It’s helpful if the caller can tell the players how many drinks are currently in the correct position.

It looks easy, but it really makes you think! You can also adapt it using stationery or other items instead of drinks.
