Fun recreational activities recommended for travel (1–10)
Earphone Loud Telephone Game
It’s a simple game where everyone puts on earphones and music, then plays telephone while barely hearing the other person’s voice at high volume—but unexpected answers often come up, so it’s sure to have the whole group bursting into laughter.
Tourist Destination Quiz
A simple activity where you hold a quiz about tourist spots.
The organizer can ask the questions, or it might be fun for everyone to bring their own.
If you decide the itinerary in advance, it should be easier to come up with questions.
UNO
A classic recommendation for downtime at hotels and inns, or while traveling on the Shinkansen, is UNO.
Recently, versions of UNO cards that let you write your own rules have gone on sale, making it even more fun.
Try enjoying it with special rules just for your trip.
Bingo Tournament
Bingo is the classic staple of recreational games, isn’t it? Precisely because it’s so classic, it always gets people excited.
If you combine it with other games—for example, giving out one bingo card to anyone who wins a rock-paper-scissors tournament—it might get even more exciting.
Picture shiritori
When you think of shiritori, the word game using spoken words is the norm, but this is a version where you turn those words into drawings and play with pictures.
All you need is a notepad and a pen, so it’s a perfect game for killing a bit of time on a trip.
Drawing game
This is a game where the questioner describes a rough drawing they made, and everyone competes to see who can draw the picture that comes closest to it.
It’s great for parties, travel time, or free time at night.
The trick for the questioner is to draw something as ambiguous as possible—the reveal is much more exciting that way.
Cooking Battle
Delicious food is one of the goals when traveling, isn’t it? In that case, how about a cooking showdown game using local ingredients? From classic dishes like curry and omelets to creative recipes arranged to your liking, they’re all interesting—and delicious!
