Okonomiyaki Game
@kidschallengeclub♬ dear future husband – 여울
My friend transformed into okonomiyaki! Let me introduce the Okonomiyaki Game.
Work in pairs: one person plays the okonomiyaki, and the other is the cook.
The okonomiyaki player lies face down and tries to hold their position so they don’t get flipped over.
The cook’s job is to flip the okonomiyaki by adjusting force and angle.
Set it up in a space with mats, and adding a time limit can make it more fun.
Give it a try!

Pose Matching Game
In this game, several people strike a pose according to a given prompt, and anyone who ends up in the minority pose loses.
The rules are simple, but since you need to match everyone else’s pose, you must choose a pose that’s common and likely what your teammates will think of.
Unite your team’s mindset, anticipate what each other will choose, and take on the challenge.
Saying the same things, doing the same things.
This game is very simple, but it really makes you think.
You jump left, right, forward, and backward according to the leader’s instructions, but sometimes you have to jump left when they say “right,” and other times the words match the direction you jump, so it takes quite a bit of concentration.
It’s also a cooperative game because multiple people do it while holding hands.
If even one person makes a mistake, the line falls out of sync, so everyone naturally comes together with a unified mindset.
Puzzle Map Game
This is a game where each person describes their piece of a distributed map card using only words—without showing it to others—to reconstruct the correct map.
You need the ability to convey your information clearly to everyone.
Once you’re certain about a location, you can place the card on the table, but you cannot move or reposition it afterward.
It’s a game that lets you experience how challenging communication can be.
Baseball Position Guessing Game
This game is played in teams of 4 to 6 people.
Each person receives 3 to 4 information cards, and each card contains details about baseball positions.
Using the information on the cards, participants must figure out who is assigned to which position.
Although this is a paid game, it’s often used for team-building, so it’s recommended for those who are concerned about teamwork.
