[Simple but Fun] Penalties That Hype Up Elementary School Classrooms
This time, I’d like to introduce some “penalty games” that really liven things up in elementary school!
In elementary school, kids play all sorts of games during recess and other free time.
But if you keep playing the same kinds of games with the friends you see every day, there are probably days when things don’t get very exciting, right?
That’s when you should try adding a “penalty game”!
Simply say, “If you lose, you do a penalty,” and then decide the actual penalty by drawing lots after the winner is determined—the game is sure to be more exciting than ever.
We’ve gathered penalty games that everyone can enjoy, so feel free to use them as a reference!

wink
It’s about having them go all out with a wink—strongly associated with idol-style fan service—to highlight their cuteness.
While it’s a simple motion of closing just one eye, have them think carefully about how to make it genuinely cute.
Getting them to pursue their own version of cuteness will also add to the embarrassment when the wink is perfected.
People who are good at it can pull it off smoothly, so it’s recommended to have someone who seems less confident give it a try.
Bingo Relay
Boost communication skills! Here’s an idea for a Bingo Relay.
In this game, two teams compete against each other.
Use tape or hula hoops to create a 3×3 grid, and work together as a team to get bingo by placing one colored marker per player.
After placing your marker on a space, run to the next player and pass the baton.
A key point is to quickly read the positions of the opposing team’s markers and block their bingo!
In conclusion
We introduced some penalty games that are sure to get elementary school kids excited! What did you think? These forfeit ideas are great for livening up games, but be sure to avoid anything someone truly dislikes or that could cause injury.
Hopefully everyone—including the friend doing the forfeit—can enjoy a fun time where everyone can laugh together!
