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

linked ring traversal

[Banquet/Party Game] Connected Ring Pass-Through

How about trying this game when you move up a grade in elementary school and your class changes? First, have each group hold hands.

Then, pass a looped ribbon around the circle from person to person without letting go of each other’s hands until it reaches the last person.

If anyone lets go, you have to start over! This will surely get everyone excited and help you all become friends quickly!

Reverse word game

[Super Hard?!] Tried the Backward Words Game!!

The rules are simple.

I’ll say a word backwards, and you have to guess the original word.

For example, if I say “いけと,” the original is “とけい” (clock).

Some of you might think it’s that easy! Three letters are fine, but it actually gets tricky as the number of characters increases.

Give it a try at elementary school!

Gesture Game

[Out of Character] Playing a gesture game with middle school girls was way too funny lol

Another classic: the “gesture game.” It’s a fun game where adults and kids can all play together! You have to act out the prompt using only gestures, without any words.

It’s funny to watch people try so hard to convey something that would be instantly clear if they just said it out loud! Show off your physical expression skills!

A game where you insert sticks only for the dice roll results

Showdown!! If you break it, you lose!! We played with a toy where you stick in as many sticks as the number on the dice.

There’s a toy that holds a balloon.

You roll a die and insert that number of sticks.

Of course, if the balloon pops, you lose.

The fear of a balloon popping is unpleasant for both kids and adults, isn’t it? Still, you’d think it could pop with just one stick… but it actually doesn’t pop that often.

NG word game

A game where saying an NG word means instant disqualification! [Akagami no Tomo] First Half

This is a pretty brainy game called the “NG Word Game.” You hold up a piece of paper above your head with an NG (forbidden) word written on it so you can’t see it, and the rule is that you must not say that word.

You can see your opponent’s NG word, so the key to victory is how cleverly you can lead them into saying it.

Don’t clam up—go on the offensive and keep pushing!

The contents of the box are a werewolf game.

First collaboration with Kajisac! We played a Werewolf game guessing what’s in the box with just the kids, and it was a huge hit with tons of laughter lol. There’s an adults’ showdown too! himawari-CH

This game combines the popular party games “What’s in the Box?” and “Werewolf.” Each participant has a box in front of them with an opening for their hand.

Normally, you put your hand in and feel what’s inside—but some people have nothing in their box.

Everyone discusses what they feel while touching the contents, but the person with an empty box—the so-called “werewolf”—must exchange opinions skillfully so their identity isn’t revealed.

If they’re found out, the werewolf loses; if they successfully deceive everyone, they win.

Bomb game

[Indoor Play] A Game Enjoyable Across Ages [Bomb Game]

The bomb game.

It’s a game that’s probably well known among children.

Everyone sits in a circle facing inward and passes a ball—treated as a “bomb”—to the next person in time with the music.

The person in charge of the music stops it at any moment they like.

Whoever is holding the bomb when the music stops is out.

The person who’s out does a forfeit, like an impersonation, though depending on the rules you can also play so that a forfeit is only done after someone is out a certain number of times.

It’s also recommended because it can be played indoors without taking up much space.
