[For Kids] Popular party games. Fun games that get everyone excited

Intro Quiz

Karaoke Classic Intro Quiz

These days, even toddlers and young children often watch videos on tablets and the like, and many of them probably listen to a variety of music.

For kids who love music, how about an intro quiz they’ll recognize right away? There are videos that compile only the intro sections of popular songs from anime theme songs and music shows, which you can use as-is to enjoy as a quiz.

You could also make it more challenging by having adults try singing the intros themselves.

A command game popular with both children and adults

[Encore Galore!] Command the class with the teacher’s rec game! A hugely popular “command game” for kids

It’s a fast-paced game that tests your listening skills and split-second decision-making.

The rules are very clear: if someone says, “Order: do XX,” you perform the action; but if they say only “Do XX” without the word “Order,” you must not move.

If you react by mistake, you’re out, so observation and concentration are essential.

The teacher’s feints will spark laughter across the classroom, creating a fun atmosphere.

Despite the simple rules, there’s a lot of strategy in the rhythm and timing, and it stays exciting no matter how many times you play.

Move or stay still—the instant you decide determines the winner.

Atama-Oshiri Game

🍌🥪 New rhythm game!! [Head-and-Tail Game 💃🕺] Four MCs take on the challenge!! Airing on Tue, 1/24

Let’s have some fun with words! Here’s an idea for the Head-and-Tail Game.

Let’s try the Head-and-Tail Game that’s also popular on TV shows.

While you dance to the music, the first and last letters of a word will be shown.

If you can answer with a fitting word within 10 seconds, you clear the round.

It seems your score is the number of letters that go between the first and last letters.

Keep the rhythm, stay flexible, and think of lots of different words.

It could be a great party game that everyone—from kids to adults—can enjoy.

Tasting Game

@bokugahero

Guessing food while blindfolded is way too hard!After-school childcareSannomaru Tsubame After-School Program#Admissions Open

Original song – I'm a hero – I'm a hero

Make your event exciting and heart-pounding! Here are some ideas for a tasting game.

Some of you might be wondering what kind of game it is.

In this game, two or three children sit in chairs, put on blindfolds, and the game begins.

You feed them small, bite-sized pieces of snacks or foods, and they try to guess what they are.

It’s best to check in advance for any foods the children dislike or allergies they may have.

Also, be careful to avoid any risk of choking.

Werewolf game

When we tried playing Werewolf with the children...

A casual twist using boxes! Here’s an idea for a Werewolf game.

The classic Werewolf game has various roles and somewhat complex rules, right? But this box-based version is simple and easy to enjoy, making it perfect for events like kids’ gatherings! All you need are four cardboard boxes with hand-sized holes and three items to place inside the boxes.

Only one person gets an empty box, and the key is to read the room and act in a way that doesn’t reveal you’re the werewolf.

Give it a try!

Here’s an idea for a plastic-bottle balance game that’s perfect for small-group icebreakers! On party days or recreation days, kids tend to be extra excited, right? This game is great to use at those times.

You’ll need a large plastic bottle, a utility knife, vinyl tape, and about 20 plastic bottle caps.

Cut off the top portion of the large bottle and wrap the cut edge with vinyl tape—that’s all the prep! Players take turns dropping bottle caps into the bottle; the person who knocks the bottle over loses.

It’s a simple game that also lets you see different aspects of the kids’ personalities, making it extra fun.

Nanjamonja

[Going Viral] The “Nanjamonja” game was insanely funny lol

If you’re hosting a Christmas party with lots of kids, the card game “Nanjamonja” is highly recommended.

It’s a game where you basically have to speak out loud, so it’s sure to liven up the room.

You might also be amazed by the kids’ imagination.

The cards feature mysterious creatures that could be seen as ghosts or monsters.

The person who flips a card gives that creature a name.

When the same card appears again, you have to say that name, so it also has a bit of a memory-game vibe like Concentration with playing cards.
