Giant fukuwarai with the teacher’s face

[New Year] First Laugh with Fukuwarai! Can you make everyone’s faces just right? Fukuwarai – Saorin, Hiyo-chan & Miru-nii-san
Giant fukuwarai with the teacher’s face

This is an activity where you play Fukuwarai—a classic New Year’s game—using the teacher’s face as the theme.

Since you’ve spent a lot of time with the teacher, you’ve probably had many chances to see their face and remember even the finer details.

However, because you can only rely on your sense of touch to figure out which piece you’re holding and where to place it, getting close to the correct arrangement seems difficult.

Rather than aiming for a perfect result, it might be more exciting to see how the teacher’s face gets scrambled and whether it turns into a funny face.

Teleportation Game

[DAY 3] Exciting! Instant Teleportation Game — “YouTube Kahokku LiNK in Summer Vacation”
Teleportation Game

It’s a game that tests each player’s quick reflexes as they swiftly move to the next spot to keep a newspaper stick from falling.

You stand the stick up, move to the adjacent stick, grab it before it falls to support it, and anyone who lets a stick fall is eliminated.

The difficulty of supporting the stick changes depending on the moving distance and how the sticks are set up, so by adjusting those factors, a wider range of ages can enjoy the game.

It could also be exciting to try a challenge mode where players test their limits to see how far they can go without letting the stick fall.

Give it a try!

Musical chairs

Musical Chairs - Shimanto Small School
Musical chairs

It’s a game so popular that it hardly needs explaining: musical chairs.

Arrange a circle of chairs with one fewer than the number of participants, and have everyone walk around them.

While the music plays, they move rhythmically; when the music stops, that’s the signal to sit.

The person left without a chair is out.

Remove one chair each round and continue until only one person remains.

It’s a game where keen perception and quick reflexes make all the difference.

Giving the winner a small prize makes for a nice memento.

Odd one out quiz

Odd One Out Quiz: 10 Questions! A Word Game for Adults and Seniors [Easy & Challenging]
Odd one out quiz

Among “panda,” “police car,” “fire engine,” and “zebra,” which one doesn’t belong? The “odd one out” quiz is a perfect game for a thank-you party: simple rules that everyone can enjoy together! The answer to the opening question is “fire engine.” The reason is that the others are black and white, while the fire engine is red.

But if you focus on something else—like “panda and zebra are animals, while police car and fire engine are vehicles”—it can surprisingly take a while to reach the answer.

Prepare questions of varying difficulty and have fun together!

King Dodgeball

[Ball Game] King's Dodgeball
King Dodgeball

King Dodgeball, a game that both kids and teachers can get excited about together, is perfect for a thank-you party.

In this game, one player is designated as the King, and the goal is to protect your King while hitting the opposing team’s King with the ball.

If the King is hit, that team loses—but who the King is remains a secret.

The fun lies in this mystery: not knowing whom to protect creates a thrilling, unpredictable experience.

Teamwork and strategy are key, and children can also develop their deduction skills as they try to identify the enemy King.

King Dodgeball is exciting and enjoyable not only for athletic ability but also as a battle of wits, making it a highly recommended game for everyone.
