Work together with your friends! Here’s an idea for a hoop relay.

All you need is a hula hoop.

In groups of three or four, hold hands and, without letting go, pass the hula hoop along by stepping your bodies through it until it reaches the last person.

Once you get the hang of it, try increasing the number of participants or competing in teams for extra fun! Also, the smaller the hula hoop, the more challenging it becomes—sure to liven things up.

Give it a try!

A command game popular with both children and adults

[Encore Galore!] Command the class with the teacher’s rec game! A hugely popular “command game” for kids

It’s a fast-paced game that tests your listening skills and split-second decision-making.

The rules are very clear: if someone says, “Order: do XX,” you perform the action; but if they say only “Do XX” without the word “Order,” you must not move.

If you react by mistake, you’re out, so observation and concentration are essential.

The teacher’s feints will spark laughter across the classroom, creating a fun atmosphere.

Despite the simple rules, there’s a lot of strategy in the rhythm and timing, and it stays exciting no matter how many times you play.

Move or stay still—the instant you decide determines the winner.

Fruits Basket

[English × Physical Play] 08 Fruit Basket Game

It’s the classic recreation game “Fruit Basket.” First, divide everyone into groups by fruit names.

When the tagger calls a group, members of that group stand up, move, and try to find a seat; the person left without a chair becomes the next tagger.

When “Fruit Basket” is called, everyone has to move.

It’s also fun to skip the grouping and use questions like “Anyone who had bread for breakfast today,” and so on.

A story that becomes scary once you understand its meaning

A scary story that’s frightening once you understand it: “Clover”

Literally interpreted, “stories that become scary once you understand the meaning” aren’t much of anything, but when you grasp the true or hidden meaning, they turn into slightly horror-tinged tales.

Collecting this type of story and presenting them as kamishibai (paper theater) or short skits could be interesting.

Try experimenting with the presentation, the style of illustrations, and the way the text is read so that the audience can savor the thrill.

Air-reading game

An absolute crowd-pleasing vibe-reading game! Perfect for changing up your team’s atmosphere! [Play Warm-Up 25] #TsukoTraining #Icebreaker #WarmingUp #FunGames

Let’s read the room so we don’t overlap with our friends! Here’s an idea for a “reading the room” game.

It’s a unique game that helps elementary school students develop the ability to act while watching the timing and what’s happening around them.

In a group of 4–5 players sitting in a circle, you take turns standing up while calling out numbers.

The rule is simple, but what matters is avoiding overlapping timing with your friends.

Through the game, kids can build awareness of others and quick decision-making skills.

The atmosphere is tense at the start, but when two people stand up at the same time, everyone can’t help bursting into laughter!

Let’s look at the map illustration and search for the treasure!

[Handmade] Easy to prepare! A treasure hunt you can fully enjoy 🎁

No text! The illustration of a map on the cards is your clue! Here’s an idea where you work together to find treasure.

Using the illustrations and the map on the cards, team up with your friends to track down the treasure! Use the map as a hint to locate the next clue card.

If you study the map carefully, you should be able to decode where the next clue card is hidden.

It’s a game that seems perfect for building kids’ observation skills while keeping them excited.

It would be great for family play, and it also sounds fun to try with friends.

Treasure Hunt

[Showdown] We rented out a school and tried a treasure hunt game in the classroom!

Just hearing the words “treasure hunt” gets you excited, doesn’t it? Long ago there was a TV show like “Find the Tokugawa Buried Treasure!” and that large-scale treasure hunt became a hot topic.

A school-wide treasure hunt would definitely be a blast.

For a big group activity, it’s highly recommended! The treasure itself can be anything—the fun is in the process of the hunt.

Feel free to enjoy different versions, like hiding the actual treasure or writing the treasure on small slips of paper.

Add puzzle-solving elements, make a map showing where the treasure is, create ciphers—your heart will be pounding even while you’re still brainstorming ideas!
