[Classic] Funny! Hilarious! A roundup of penalty games that liven up school (21–30)
treat someone to something
Things someone treats you to always seem to taste extra delicious, don’t they? Nothing beats snacks or drinks that you didn’t pay for yourself and that someone else bought for you.
When it comes to punishment games, having to treat someone is pretty common too.
If you’re looking forward to being treated, then you’re basically looking forward to the punishment game itself.
But those drinks and snacks end up becoming fond memories, don’t they? And the loser—the one who treated—remembers it for a long time, too (lol).
Chugging a nasty drink
Drinking bad-tasting beverages like aojiru or bitter tea is also a classic penalty game.
There are lots of flavors, such as bitter or sour drinks.
These days, you can even buy nasty-tasting drinks at variety shops, so it might be a good idea to try purchasing some.

Drumming with a gorilla face
Gorillas beating their chests—so-called drumming—gives a brave, cool impression when a gorilla does it, but it’s embarrassing when a human does it.
It might still be okay for guys, but for girls it can feel pretty awkward.
Since the classic idea of a penalty game is to make someone do something they’re reluctant to do, this one is a solid pick.
For the person doing the punishment, the key is to cast aside your shame and fully channel your inner wild gorilla.
Some people might even find the contrast with your usual self endearing.
funny face
There are probably many people who regularly pull funny faces, but don’t you hesitate a bit to do one in front of others? Still, as a light penalty game, it’s easy to do and really livens things up.
There are surely lots of variations on funny faces, so a penalty game where you take requests could be fun.
And for the veterans who say, “Funny faces aren’t a penalty at all,” you could hold a funny-face photo contest.
It’s the kind of penalty game that will definitely be a blast to look back on and become a great memory.
Publishing yearbook photos
Yearbook photos often look quite different from how we look now, don’t they? Sharing those yearbook photos can make for a fun and lively penalty game.
And not just yearbooks—if you have a driver’s license, I think showing everyone that photo would be entertaining too.
to smell something stinky
I think smelling something stinky can also liven things up.
There are broadly two types of smelly items often used for penalty games.
One is food.
Penalty games using durian or kusaya are a staple on TV shows, right? The other is items made specifically for penalty games.
There are sprays with very strong odors available for purchase, so if you’re curious, check online shops.
Some of them can leave a smell on clothing that’s hard to remove, so be careful.
Make sure to research well before using them.
A bad food review
Punishments that involve eating or drinking something nasty are everywhere.
They often end with just a reaction, but how about turning it into a punishment where the person has to give a detailed report on exactly what it tastes like? It’s a twist on the usual punishment games and should really liven things up.
