NG word game

[Immediate Ejection] If we do a “Say an NG word and you’re out” talk show, who will be the last one standing?!

Do you know the game called Indian poker? It’s a game where you try to guess the number on your own card—which you can’t see—based on what others say.

In this variant, you stick a card on your forehead with a taboo word written on it, making sure you can’t see it yourself.

While chatting with everyone, you try to guess the forbidden word on your own forehead.

The twist is that others will try to steer the conversation to make you say that word, so the key is to dodge their traps.

It’s a fun game—give it a try!

Magical Banana

[Viral] We tried playing the Magical Banana game with all the members and burst into laughter lol

Magical Banana is a simple, exciting wordplay game.

Everyone sits in a circle, and after chanting “Magical Banana,” the first person says, “When I say banana, you say ___.” The next person says a word that the blank makes them think of, and the chain continues like a word association game.

Anyone who can’t keep the rhythm or gets stuck loses.

You also lose if your association doesn’t connect to the previous person’s word.

It’s great brain training—give it a try!

Newspaper Island

You can do it with just newspapers! Newspaper Island Game [Indoor play that childcare workers should know!]

The Newspaper Island game is a game you can enjoy as long as each person has one sheet of newspaper.

Everyone stands in a circle and plays rock-paper-scissors with the teacher; each time you lose, you fold the newspaper you’re standing on to make it smaller.

If you step off the newspaper or can no longer stand on it, you’re out.

Beyond winning and losing, it’s fun in multiple ways: it tests neatness in folding the paper and, as the paper gets smaller, your sense of balance.

It’s a great game that really livens things up—be sure to give it a try at least once.

giant maze

[Senkawa Goes to School!] Taking on a Giant Cardboard Maze! Echoing Through the Halls Is the Principal’s ??... [Hamada Elementary School (2)] [AomoLIVE]

How about making a giant maze out of cardboard that’s safe to bump into and costs almost nothing? Stack the cardboard after assembling it into boxes.

If you make it tall enough to hide a child’s height, they won’t be able to see ahead, which makes it more exciting.

Since it doesn’t cost much, you’ll need a lot of cardboard, so it’s a good idea to collect and fold it in advance.

Adding mechanisms or tricks along the way—not just paths—can make the maze even more fun.

Try building one in a gymnasium or similar space!

Silhouette Guessing Quiz

[Pokemon Quiz] "Pokemon Silhouette Quiz! Can you solve all 20 questions?"

Here’s a game where you guess popular Pokémon characters from their silhouettes.

Since there are so many Pokémon and many share similar types, it might be harder than you expect.

You don’t have to limit yourself to Pokémon—feel free to try it with other anime characters too.

You can relatively easily prepare the silhouettes by using your phone’s features to cut out images, so give it a try.

Theme Bingo

[Bingo Game] Parent-Child Play! For ages 4 to elementary school—there’s no way it won’t be a hit when all you do is write 9 vegetables! (Elementary school kids—time killers and games)

All you need is paper and a pen to enjoy “Prompt Bingo” anytime! While traditional bingo usually uses numbers, this version skips numbers and instead has you write words that fit a given theme into a 3×3 grid of nine squares.

For example, themes with lots of variety like “vegetables” or “fruits” are recommended.

When a word you wrote is called, mark it with a circle; if you line up three in a row vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, you get bingo! Compared to regular bingo, this game helps children develop their thinking skills, so why not include it in your party or fun gathering?

Silhouette QuizNEW!

Snow Man [Silhouette Quiz in front of RAYS] Why is Fukazawa drenched in sweat…⁉️

This is a quiz where you look only at a silhouette and answer what it is.

If it’s something with a distinctive shape, like a banana, it’s easier to arrive at the answer.

However, items with simple shapes, like apples or mandarins, tend to be more challenging.

For elementary school students, why not have fun with familiar items they often use at school, such as pencils or pencil cases? If the answer doesn’t come easily, give them a hint.

You can prepare the silhouettes on paper beforehand, or you can create shadows on the day using a white cloth and a light.
