[Elementary School Rec] Recommended Games and Performances for a Fun Party

Bomb Game

[Danger] Answer the prompt before the slime time bomb explodes!!

You often see it on TV variety shows, right? It’s that game where you pass around a time bomb, and if it explodes while you’re holding it, you lose.

There are various kinds of bombs you can buy, like ones where slime oozes out or balloons pop.

You answer a prompt, then pass the bomb to the next person—something like that.

It’s a game that makes you a bit nervous and excited.

♬ Mario like action game 2 – Jun Takahashi

Play with letters! Here’s an idea for “A-I-U-E Balls.” It’s a letter-play activity perfect for anyone planning a game with colored balls.

You’ll need a large basket, colored balls, masking tape, a permanent marker, and a smaller basket for collecting the balls.

First, write each of the 50 Japanese syllables on pieces of masking tape—one character per piece—and stick them onto the colored balls.

Once you put the balls into the large basket, you’re ready to go! Give the kids a prompt, then have them search the large basket to find the letters one by one.

It’s a thrilling, heart-pounding activity that’s lots of fun.

Clap-Clap Game

A clapping game you can use for class activities! #MimasakaUniversity

Let me introduce the Clap-Clap Game that always gets the class excited.

The rules are simple: the leader moves both hands, and the participants watch the leader’s movements and clap their hands exactly when the leader’s hands overlap.

It’s a game where you enjoy clapping in sync with the timing.

Carefully observe the leader’s movements and match your timing.

It’s also important for the leader to be creative with their motions to make the game more exciting.

Even if someone claps at the wrong time, it turns into laughter and makes the game even more fun.

Werewolf game

#WerewolfGame #ElementarySchoolStudents #IndoorPlay A battle of 10 Citizens vs. 4 Werewolves vs. 2 Lovers—whose hands will victory fall into?!

A party game classic that revolves around conversation, so it can be played anywhere.

Because it progresses through dialogue, it’s a game that makes communication easy.

The goal is to find the hidden werewolf among the participants based on predetermined clues.

Meanwhile, the person playing the werewolf aims to avoid being discovered while secretly causing as much damage as possible.

The ability to detect lies and the acting skills to keep your lies unnoticed are key elements that make the game exciting.

One Letter per Person Quiz

[Episode 1] Join forces to find the answer! One-letter-per-person quiz!

It’s the “One Letter per Person Quiz” you often see on variety shows! Form a team of 4–5 players and answer quiz questions together.

However, in this quiz each person can write only one character of the answer, so you can only get it right if everyone’s letters match to form the correct word.

Even if you know the answer, if someone writes the wrong character or if even one person doesn’t know it, the team gets it wrong.

Since it’s for elementary school students, the questions shouldn’t be too difficult—topics like popular anime or common school experiences will really get everyone excited!

Musical chairs

Musical Chairs (4- and 5-year-olds)

Musical chairs is a simple game that even preschoolers can enjoy! If you’re in elementary school, chances are you’ve played it at least once.

Arrange a circle of chairs with one fewer chair than the number of players, play some music, and have everyone walk around the outside of the chairs.

When the music stops, sit down.

Anyone left without a chair is out.

Remove one more chair and keep going until only one person remains.

It’s a simple game, but the scramble for a seat is surprisingly fun.

It’s enjoyable across different ages, so give it a try!

A Daruma’s Day

[Massive Trend] Tried the Daruma-san One-Day Game and got hit with a storm of ridiculous demands lol

Introducing a game that’s sure to be a hit at any elementary school party: “Daruma-san’s Day.” This game is an evolution of the classic “Daruma-san ga Koronda,” adding a new challenge where players approach the “it” person while performing various actions and trying to avoid being caught.

If the caller announces, “Daruma-san spun,” everyone has to twirl around.

The goal is to follow the instructions skillfully and tag the “it” person, all while playing safely and avoiding rough contact.

It’s perfect for indoor play and guaranteed to delight the kids.
