Party games that excite the crowd at school (71–80)
Rhythm 4 Game
It’s a game where you ride a 4-beat rhythm, call out a player and a number, and answer in time.
If you miss the beat or say the wrong words, you’re out! One of the fun parts is that you can add various rules—like “when you nominate this person, do this pose and say this chant.” You can customize it to your style and enjoy.
It might be tricky at first, so start practicing at a slow tempo.
Once you get the hang of it, speed it up and raise the difficulty!
Fruits Basket
I think it’s a pretty classic game often played in class, but it’s fun no matter when you do it.
It’s a game where people who fit a certain condition—like “people who are ○○”—have to stand up and move to a different seat.
You can’t sit back down in the same seat, and there will always be one person left over, so it turns into an intense game of musical chairs.
Number Guessing Clap Game
It’s a game where everyone claps together after calls like addition or subtraction in order, or prompts like “How many legs does an octopus have?” When you speed up the clapping, everyone has to think while their minds start to panic.
It’s a party game where you count numbers while clapping and everyone gets excited together.
IKKO game
The “IKKO Game” is a game that uses celebrity and hair-makeup artist IKKO’s catchphrase, “Dondake~!” In simple terms, it’s a shiritori word game restricted to four-letter words, but when you answer, you have to wag your index finger and say it with the same intonation as “Dondake~!” It sounds easy, but it’s surprisingly tricky! Once you get into it, though, it’s a lot of fun—using the “Dondake~!” intonation makes any word funny, so everyone’s sure to have a great time together.
glasses long straw
It’s a speed-drinking contest using straw glasses.
The glasses shape alone is unique, and students would have a lot of fun with it.
If you get creative with the drink colors or choose something bright, the glasses will fill with vibrant hues, making it look festive and turning it into an exciting game.
spin around with a bat
It’s a simple game where you spin around using a bat or stick for a counted number of turns, then head for the goal as soon as you finish.
It’s surprisingly difficult—some people can walk straight just fine after spinning, while others can’t walk at all—so the contrast often gets everyone laughing.
tongue twister
It’s a game where you say tongue twisters three times each.
It’s a school-friendly game that gets everyone excited as you tackle classics and a variety of other tongue twisters.
It’s fun to prepare progressively more difficult ones.
You can also have everyone come up with new tongue twisters together.
