A quiz where you guess who it is just from their eyes
As the name suggests, it’s a quiz where you guess who someone is just by looking at their eyes.
For example, you can limit it to a single anime and show only the characters’ eyes to guess their names, or you can mix eyes from various works and genres—making it harder and more exciting.
It would be fun not only with anime, but also using photos of idols, actors, or even classmates.
You might be surprised how often you can’t tell, even with close friends, when you only see their eyes—leading to plenty of tough questions.
Blindfolded stepping game
As the name suggests, it’s a simple game where you just march in place while blindfolded.
Mark the starting spot with tape, have players march in big, steady steps to a fixed rhythm during the time limit, and aim to keep them marching on the taped spot.
The fun part is that, even though you think you’ve stayed put, when you take off the blindfold you might be somewhere completely different.
It’s also a game that makes you realize how much you rely on your vision, so it could be useful for teaching the dangers of looking away or getting distracted.
Bingo Relay
It would be great to get everyone moving and excited at the elementary school thank-you party! Here’s a “Bingo Relay” that both teachers and students can enjoy together.
Draw a 3×3 grid on the floor or place markers to form nine squares.
Each runner, when they arrive, places one cone or similar item in a square.
Teams take turns in a relay placing cones, and the team that completes a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line wins! It’s not just about running—judgment is key, too, like blocking the other team when they’re about to complete a line or placing cones to your team’s advantage.
This game works indoors, such as in a gym, so make it a memorable thank-you party!
Blind tasting
Blind tasting is a big hit as an activity to liven up a thank-you party.
When your sight and sense of smell are blocked and you put food in your mouth, even snacks you usually eat without thinking become hard to tell apart.
Because participants must identify foods by texture alone, it sparks surprise and laughter, which also boosts communication.
For example, viewers really enjoyed the scene where a participant with their nose plugged with tissues tried to identify chocolate.
It’s a wonderful game where teachers and students can discover unexpected sides of each other, so it’s recommended if you want to make your thank-you party truly memorable.
Intro Quiz
When we think of a thank-you party, it tends to feel a bit sentimental, but it can be fun to liven things up with a game.
How about trying an “intro quiz”? An intro quiz is a game where you listen only to the intro of a song and guess the title.
These days there are plenty of videos that compile just song intros, so you can make good use of those.
It’s also nice that you can adjust the number of songs based on how much time you have.
A collection of intros from kids’ favorite anime would likely be a big hit, too!
Guess the anime from the quote
A quiz where you guess the anime title from a single line: “Guess the Anime by the Quote.” Since many famous anime lines are deeply moving, it’s fun not only for anime fans but for everyone participating! If you pick quotes that convey gratitude or the feeling of “We’re going to keep doing our best and living our lives!” even the teachers might be touched.
You can read the lines aloud, but creating a video or slides to play them will liven up the venue even more.
tic-tac-toe
How about trying a true-or-false quiz that everyone can enjoy, even with a large group? It’s great because kids and adults can have fun together.
These days, there are plenty of videos that compile trivia quizzes, so using those is an easy option.
Of course, creating your own original quiz questions is also a good idea.
Questions related to graduation or fun secrets about friends and teachers will definitely liven things up! It’s also fun to set up a space where everyone moves to the True (O) or False (X) side.
Balloon-Popping Treasure Hunt
Games with prizes always get people excited.
But if you think bingo is a bit too ordinary, here’s something to try: Balloon-Pop Treasure Hunt.
In this game, if you pop a balloon and find a slip of paper inside, you win the prize written on it.
Popping the balloons is fun in itself, so it’s sure to be a hit.
The challenge, though, is whether everyone will be able to get a prize.
You’ll need to plan ahead—like loading in extra winning slips—to make it work.
Rock-paper-scissors tournament
Rock-paper-scissors is a game everyone knows, from small children to adults.
Once you’re grown up, it’s less of a game and more a way to decide something.
How about taking that familiar rock-paper-scissors and playing it simply—but seriously? It works with both large and small groups.
Team matches are fun, and single-elimination tournaments where individuals advance can really get exciting.
It’s a simple game, but winning a championship makes for a great memory—and something everyone will remember.
Juice tasting
Kiki-juice, a game where participants taste several drinks either while blindfolded or with the drinks hidden and try to guess the flavor or product name, is perfect for a thank-you party that both participants and spectators can enjoy! Very few people can accurately identify the same flavor of juice, tea, or beer from different brands.
The difficulty is quite high, but that just makes it more exciting for everyone while they’re thinking it through.
If you hide the drinks, you’ll need a box or something similar, so if you want to keep it simple, blindfolds are recommended!
