[Elementary School Recreation] Recommended Games and Performances for a Fun Party (111–120)
recorder performance

Since recorders are commonly used in regular music classes, they might be easy to enjoy.
Not only can you perform pieces you do in class, but choosing popular songs would likely get everyone excited.
It’s also important to think about the format—whether it’s a solo performance or an ensemble with everyone.
Songs that aren’t in the textbook might seem difficult, but if you look them up, you’ll find many performance videos and simple sheet music, which really expands the possibilities.
Let’s choose and perform songs that will surprise and entertain the audience.

What’s inside the box?

It’s the game where you’re not told what’s inside the box, and you have to guess what it is by putting only your hands through holes on either side—“What’s in the Box?” You often see them put something slimy or a small animal on TV, right? It’s fun for the viewers, but nerve‑racking for the person doing it.
Especially when the texture feels gross, it takes real courage to touch it again…
But the grosser the texture, the more exciting it gets, doesn’t it? (laughs)
Paper Tower Showdown

Paper Tower Showdown is a recommended game that anyone can play anywhere as long as you have paper, whether you have a large or small group.
As the name suggests, you build a tower out of paper, but using tools like scissors or glue is prohibited—you must fold or roll the paper by hand to construct your tower.
Decide on a number of sheets per team, such as 20 sheets, and within the time limit, the team that builds the taller—and cooler—tower wins.
First, you compete on height, and then bonus points are awarded for style.
If you rush, it may collapse, so carefulness is also key to the game.
The contents of the box are a werewolf game.

A game that combines two recreational classics, “What’s in the Box?” and “Werewolf,” aptly titled “What’s in the Box? Werewolf Game”! The name says it all, and the rules are just as straightforward: it’s a game where you guess what’s inside the box—but for one person, the box is empty.
Players discuss what they feel while touching the contents, but the person with the empty box—the werewolf—must not get found out, so they have to comment cleverly to blend in.
If they’re exposed as the werewolf, they’re banished.
It’s a party game that also calls for a bit of acting skill.
Puzzle Escape Game

Elementary school kids love games, right? So how about trying a “puzzle escape game”? Setting up something big can be a lot of work, but if you simply pretend that you can’t leave the room or move from a spot until you solve the puzzles, it’s easy to do! If you’re not confident about coming up with questions, try using the ones shown in the video or take inspiration from riddles designed for elementary schoolers.
If everyone works together to escape, it could build a sense of teamwork and help them become closer.
You could also make it a team competition and race to see who escapes the fastest.
In conclusion
We introduced some recommended games and performances for a fun party.
Did any of them catch your eye? When you’re preparing for a party like this, it’s natural to worry: “Will everyone enjoy it…?” Performances usually require advance preparation, but with games you can prep a few options and then hold a vote on the day to choose the most popular one, adjusting as you go to match the group’s vibe.
Try different ideas and make it a great, fun event!
