Spoon Relay
This is a spoon relay that’s sure to be a hit at any thank-you party.
Split into teams, carry a ping-pong ball on a spoon to the destination, return to the starting point, and pass it to the next person without dropping it.
The first team to finish wins.
It’s a very fun game that tests your concentration so you don’t drop the ping-pong ball.
The rules are simple, so it’s a game everyone can enjoy, from adults to kids! It might also be fun to use a Chinese-style soup spoon instead of a regular spoon.
Stand-up game
Here’s a stand-up game that will liven up thank-you parties at daycare centers and kindergartens.
Players call out numbers in order, and you win when the number called matches the number of people who stand up.
It’s a game that encourages communication and lets both adults and children have fun together.
Playing some music can make it even more enjoyable.
If there are many participants and it’s hard to hear, splitting into teams may make it more fun.
Standing up and sitting down also makes for a great bit of exercise.

Let’s plan a “Balloon Paper Cup Knockdown Game” for the thank-you party—a simple crowd-pleaser you can set up with easy-to-find items.
This game is fun for 2–3 players.
You’ll need paper cups, balloons, and a table or platform to place the cups on.
First, place the paper cups upside down on the table or platform.
Each participant inflates their balloon and holds the opening so the air doesn’t escape.
When the start signal is given, aim the balloon’s air at the paper cups to knock them off the table or platform.
Whoever knocks them off wins!
Rock-Paper-Scissors Train
Rock-Paper-Scissors Train, where kids build a long train to music, is one of their favorite games.
You may have played it during free play, but let’s try it at the thank-you party, too! First, move to the music, and when the cue comes, play rock-paper-scissors with someone nearby.
The loser lines up behind the winner, placing both hands on the winner’s shoulders to form a train.
Keep repeating this to make the train longer and longer.
It’s fun whether you win or lose, so enjoy it together with everyone!
Gakuzuke Check-style Quiz
A rating-check style quiz that both children and adults can enjoy together—carefully think about which option is correct and try to guess it.
It’ll be exciting if you prepare a variety of question types, such as food and drink questions or illustration-based ones.
The person with the most correct answers wins.
We also recommend mixing in quizzes related to nurseries or kindergartens.
Tailor the game to the participants—team battles or individual matches—to make it even more fun.
It’s a fun quiz format that tests knowledge and experience, so be sure to give it a try!
Akinator Quiz
An Akinator-style quiz where you narrow down and guess the answer based on responses.
It’s a great game for a preschool graduation thank-you party, too.
Display the answers so everyone can see, and have the guessers ask their questions.
If possible, choose answers related to kindergarten or nursery school.
Through the Akinator quiz, you can look back on your time at the school.
You can have just one person ask the questions, but doing it with a few people makes it more exciting.
It also sounds fun to take a moment before asking to discuss and decide what questions to ask.
A thank-you party is a time to express gratitude to the teachers, so why not all join in and cooperate by participating in the game together?

Kehaigiri Game
A ninja-like stealth slashing game sounds so much fun! Put on a blindfold and become a ninja, erase your presence, and try to strike your opponents—those who get slashed are eliminated in order.
You’re allowed up to two swings to slash, vertical strikes only, and the last person remaining wins.
If it feels a bit difficult, it’s recommended to wear a bell or something that makes a sound as a hint.
Playing with multiple people might make the game even more enjoyable.
Be sure to use soft, sponge-like swords for slashing!
