Fukuwarai using the teacher’s photo
A classic but exciting game, “Fukuwarai.” It’s a game where you wear a blindfold and place parts like eyebrows, eyes, nose, and mouth in the correct positions on a face.
It sounds easy, but it’s actually quite tricky, and even a slight misplacement can make a really funny face.
How about using the teacher as the face base for this Fukuwarai—making a “Teacher Fukuwarai”? Playing with a familiar face, especially the teacher’s, is sure to get everyone excited!
Private Quiz
How about a “Private Game” for your elementary school thank-you party—an activity where you ask questions focused on someone’s personal life to liven things up? If you make the teacher the star and ask questions about them, the event is sure to be a hit! Before coming up with the quiz questions, it’s best to casually learn a bit about the teacher’s private side.
Just avoid anything too personal—safe questions like “What do you eat for breakfast every day?” or “What are you good at?” should be more than enough to get everyone excited.
Through this quiz, you might discover a side of the teacher you never knew.
Teacher impersonation
There’s always at least one person at school who’s great at doing impressions, right? If that’s you, try making impressions your act.
Celebrities and anime characters are classics, but for a thank-you party, impressions of teachers will really go over well.
You can even turn it into a quiz by doing impressions without saying who it is and having everyone guess which teacher you’re imitating!
Professor Derby
Teacher Derby: teachers take part in several contests, and spectators bet their points by predicting which teacher will win.
Picking events that everyone got used to in elementary school—like kendama, spinning tops, or tongue twisters—should make it even more exciting! In the video, the teachers are the ones competing, but you can also choose challengers from the audience, so feel free to add your own ideas and have fun with it!
What’s inside the box?
You often see it on TV variety shows: a game where you stick your hands into holes on both sides of a box and try to guess what’s inside just by touch.
On variety shows, they often put in living creatures—like frogs or turtles—to make it more exciting, so if you picture it that way… it definitely takes some courage, doesn’t it? To make it fun, the trick is to put in things that feel unpleasant or have a strong tactile impact.
It’s a game that makes everyone jumpy, but really gets the energy up.
Telepathy Drawing Challenge
Telepathy Drawing Challenge! There’s a game where several people answer a prompt at the same time, and if their answers match perfectly, they win.
This is the drawing version of that game.
For example, if the prompt is “What comes to mind when you think of a ferocious animal?” there are lots of possibilities like a lion, tiger, or leopard.
Each person draws what they imagined and tries to match answers.
It’s fun for the audience to watch, too.

Pedometer Game
It’s a game where you attach a pedometer somewhere on your body and move around, and the person with the highest count within the time limit wins.
Pedometers normally count the number of steps you take, but since you can’t actually walk in the game, you’ll need to march in place or move your body to rack up more counts.
How you move will change depending on where you attach the pedometer, so if everyone places it in different spots, each person’s movements will have their own flair—and that should make it more entertaining for the spectators, too.
