Magical Banana29rank/position

[Viral] We tried playing the Magical Banana game with all the members and burst into laughter lol

A rhythm game classic! The Magical Banana game is a highly recommended activity that livens up any situation.

Many of you may know it: it’s an association game that starts with “Magical Banana! When you say banana, you think of…?” Keeping time with a set rhythm and clapping, players say associations like “Banana makes you think of yellow, yellow makes you think of lemon,” responding with something linked to the previous person’s word.

Because you have very little time to think, it’s a game that tests your quick reflexes and adaptability.

Russian roulette30rank/position

Six people face off with Russian lemon roulette ice cream! If you get the sour one, you get a flick-to-the-forehead penalty?! Luck challenge, game, maximum sourness

It’s a game where one different item is hidden among a bunch of similar-looking foods, and everyone has fun trying to guess who got the odd one out.

Test your luck, and also pay attention to how people react when they pick the “losing” piece.

Spicy or sour bites are classic choices for the odd one out, but if you’re good with those flavors, you might try to keep a straight face so others won’t notice.

You can also use this as a little fortune-telling game to see if you’re the type who tends to draw the short straw.

Farewell Lunch for the Senior Kindergarten Class

You might think “eating a meal” is nothing special… but if you think about it, lunch at a preschool or school usually happens with just classmates and teachers.

If you bring together parents and children of different ages, that in itself becomes a proper event! And of course, the food should be something a little special, right? If you can’t decide on a single menu, you could even make it a buffet.

How about this idea that fills both the stomach and the heart?

Senribi Farewell Party for Second-Year Students 2017 - Human Arch

The time at a fun farewell party, filled with various performances and activities, flies by in the blink of an eye, doesn’t it? How about ending such a joyful farewell with a human arch to send off the graduates? Participants line up facing each other and form arches with their arms, connecting from the stage all the way to the exit.

As everyone calls out and cheers them on, the graduates can be sent off warmly—creating a very happy, heartwarming moment for them!

Team Communication Game: Human Knot [Sports Recreation Plan]

Before graduation, when children experience their first goodbyes, let’s create wonderful memories with a heartwarming recreation activity.

The “Human Knot” we introduce here is a game in which graduates and current students work together to take on a challenge.

While holding hands, participants untangle a complex knot into a single circle—no easy task.

Along the way, natural, close communication emerges, and by thinking together, their sense of unity grows stronger.

The large circle formed by holding hands deepens bonds of friendship and brings bright smiles even at parting.

It’s a recommended recreation activity that offers a fun, memorable moment at the milestone of graduation.

Giant fukuwarai with the teacher’s face34rank/position

[New Year] First Laugh with Fukuwarai! Can you make everyone’s faces just right? Fukuwarai – Saorin, Hiyo-chan & Miru-nii-san

At elementary school farewell parties, games that everyone can join are especially popular.

One that’s getting a lot of attention is the giant version of Fukuwarai.

This game, modeled on a teacher’s face, instantly captures children’s hearts.

With blindfolds on, players place smiling facial parts onto a photo, guaranteeing tons of laughs—and the best part is that teachers can enjoy it together with the students.

It’s perfect as a graduation ceremony performance, too, and it’s great fun to see what kind of humorous face it ends up becoming.

The memories everyone creates together will be treasured for a lifetime.

Instrumental ensemble35rank/position

For 5th–6th Graders: Que Sera Sera / Mrs. GREEN APPLE [Instrumental Ensemble for Elementary School Students – Full Performance] Rocket Music KGH583

If your whole class wants to put on a presentation together, how about trying an instrumental ensemble? Those of you in the upper grades have probably done it a few times already, but since this is a special opportunity, try picking a slightly more challenging piece from among your favorite songs.

Of course, the practice will be tough, but the thrill when the music comes together beautifully is truly amazing, and working as a group on a single piece will become a wonderful memory.

It won’t succeed without unity, so I think it will also be a great chance to improve communication.
