Party games that get everyone excited at school

Gojūon Order Game

Guaranteed to be a hit! A party game everyone can play at school!

The game is played with three or more people.

You take the first syllable in Japanese alphabetical order and quickly say three-letter words in rhythm, like “aisu (ice) → iruka (dolphin) → rubī (ruby).” After saying a word, you point to the next person to choose them.

It feels like the rhythm games that used to be on TV.

[Banquet/Party Game] Connected Ring Pass-Through

In groups of two or three, hold hands and take turns passing through a loop made of ribbon or string starting from one end.

The people on both ends can use their hands, but the person in the middle can’t use theirs at all, so it goes more smoothly with help from the people on the sides.

Using just one loop ends quickly, so doing several rounds back and forth might be more fun.

Without Katakana

Simple and fun! A class-energizing activity: “Katakana-less”

In everyday life, we often use words written in katakana.

Here, we’d like to introduce “Katakana-ashi,” a game where you explain a given topic without using katakana.

For example, you show a ball used in P.E.

and ask, “What is this?” The answer will likely be “ball.” Next, have them describe the ball without using any katakana.

Children will likely search for answers by thinking of various words in their heads.

Try switching the roles of questioner and answerer and give it a go.

Consensus Game 'Little Thief' — Rules Explanation

Let me introduce a consensus game set in a convenience store.

The characters are: the “store manager,” “part-time worker A,” and a “boy who steals three rice balls every day.” Noticing the boy’s theft, the manager tells A to catch him and call the police.

However, A does not apprehend the boy.

Even when the manager asks why, A won’t answer, and A is ultimately fired.

Among these three, who do you think is the most at fault? Also, rank the individuals from 1 to 3 in order of blame.

It’s a question where the rankings may change depending on how you imagine the boy’s reasons for stealing.

Holy Night Cake Shop

Consensus Game 'Holy Night Cake Shop' - Rules Explanation Edition

The owner of the cake shop instructed the manager, “Please don’t make more than 200 Christmas cakes this year.” The reason was that every year they made too many and ended up in the red.

However, on Christmas Eve, the manager told part-time workers A-kun and Ms.

B to make 400 cakes.

Since any unsold cakes would have to be bought by the staff, A-kun was reluctant.

Ms.

B agreed with the manager, and in the end they made 400 cakes, resulting in a large number of leftovers.

The manager apologized to A-kun and gave him the money for the buyback.

Now, among the “owner,” “manager,” “A-kun,” and “Ms.

B,” who acted wrongly? Let’s also consider the order from most to least wrong.
