Recommended performances for elementary school thank-you parties: carefully selected games and skits that will liven things up!

Games of all ages and places

We played the ‘around-the-world’ word game together and ended up laughing way too hard lol

“Kokon Tozai” is a classic party game that always livens up banquets and gatherings.

Let’s quickly review the rules.

First, choose a theme.

Then, starting on a cue, everyone takes turns quickly saying words that fit the theme in rhythm; anyone who misses the beat or can’t think of an answer is out, and the last person remaining wins.

For a thank-you party, how about themes related to school or teachers? Choosing prompts that only insiders understand can also spark lots of fond memories and stories.

A quiz where you guess who it is just from their eyes

Can you guess which TWICE member it is just from the eyes? [Hard] #TWICE #kpop

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.

Poker Face Game

Poker face showdown on TeenZ!!!

It’s a game that tests your acting skills called the “Poker Face Game.” For example, two people eat sushi at the same time—one has a lot of wasabi in it and the other is normal.

One of them is acting, and you have to guess who ate the wasabi-filled sushi.

Only one person actually eats the wasabi sushi, but it’s possible that neither of them is acting, or that both of them are acting.

Some people are easy to read, but there are those who are really good at this kind of thing (lol).

Hula hoop relay

Hula hoop relay

The “Hula Hoop Relay,” where a hula hoop stands in for a baton! Line up side by side holding hands, and pass the hoop along by slipping your body through it to the next person.

The team wins when the person at the end of the line—or the first person if you’re turning back—makes it through as quickly as possible.

While a hula hoop is easy for small elementary school kids to slip through, it can be quite a challenge for adults who are larger or less flexible.

You could say the key to victory may lie in the hands of the teachers and parents mixed in among the children.

Stand-up game

[Banquet/Party Game] Guess How Many Stand Up! Stand-Up Game

The “Stand-Up Game” is perfect for party entertainment or as a party game.

Participants take turns calling out numbers, and if the number they declare matches the number of people who stand up, they clear that round! You can play in teams—whichever team gets all members cleared first wins—or play individually, with a penalty for the person who remains until the end.

Because the actions are so simple—“say a number” and “stand or sit”—it’s ideal for appreciation parties with a wide range of ages.

Games that anyone can understand easily are handy and versatile in many situations.

Gorilla Game

[Class Activity] Guaranteed to Succeed, Laugh-Out-Loud! Gorilla Game

Let me introduce a game that will have your class roaring with laughter: the Gorilla Game.

Choose one child in the classroom, and have them answer every question from the questioner with the word “Gorilla.” For example, if the question is, “What did you eat for breakfast today?” the child answers, “Gorilla.” Of course, the questioner should react with a funny comeback to the “Gorilla” answer.

This back-and-forth will make the kids burst into laughter.

Make sure the final question sets up a punchline.

Also, the questioner’s reactions are key—add some facial expressions to make it even more exciting.

Name Bingo

Communication Exchange – Name Bingo Edition – Niigata Business College (NBC) – In-class Interaction

Bingo is a classic recreation game.

Normally, bingo cards have numbers on them, and you mark off the numbers that come up from the bingo machine.

But this version is a name-based bingo game.

Have participants write their friends’ names in the squares.

You can fill them in yourself, but having others write in their names encourages communication and makes for lively, fun conversation.

Then, put slips of paper with the names into a draw, pull them like a lottery, mark off the matching names on the cards, and whoever completes a line first wins—just like with a regular bingo machine.
