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.
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!
Friend Bingo
With “Friend Bingo,” where you aim for bingo while communicating with other participants, it’s easy to break the ice with classmates and alumni you haven’t seen in a while, as well as seniors and juniors you haven’t talked to much! First, announce a theme, then take a blank sheet with a 3×3 grid and fill it with words that match the theme.
Once you’re done, pair up and have your partner share one item; if you have it on your sheet, circle it and write their name below it.
Then switch partners and keep asking around.
When you complete a line horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, you’ve got bingo! The twist is that you go out and find the answers yourself.
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!
One-Leg Balance Game
As the name suggests, the One-Leg Balance Game is a game where you stand on one leg and keep your balance.
If you lose your balance and the raised foot touches the ground, you’re out.
It sounds very simple, but it’s surprisingly hard—many people will find their foot touching down right away.
Parents and teachers can join in too, but kids are probably better at this game! Also, if you try it with your eyes closed instead of just standing on one leg, the difficulty level goes up.
Give it a try!
