Fun Recreational Activities Recommended for Travel (31–40)
Who am I?
Here’s an idea for a lively “Who am I?” game that everyone can enjoy.
First, choose one player to be the guesser.
Next, the questioner decides what to pretend to be.
The guesser then asks the questioner a series of questions to figure out what they’re pretending to be.
You can choose a historical figure or a fictional character, or even a food or a vehicle.
I hope everyone will work together and enjoy the process of gradually getting closer to the right answer.
Also, the questioner should try to give hints at a reasonable pace.
What’s in the box? game
A simple game where you guess what’s inside a box, just like the ones you often see on TV.
How about trying it on the bus or at the hotel? You could put in souvenirs you bought locally, and if someone guesses correctly, make it a prize—sounds like a great way to liven things up.
Name Sorting Game
Prepare drawing paper and pens for a game where players unscramble the names of familiar objects.
It gives your brain a bit of a workout, making it a nice light brain-training activity.
It gets even more exciting if you also scramble the names of friends and relatives, not just everyday items.
duple and triple meter
It involves creating different rhythms with the right and left hands.
In this game, you move one arm in a two-beat pattern and the other in a three-beat pattern.
If both hands are up on the sixth beat, you’ve got it right.
By changing the speed or altering the number of beats, you can make it more complex and enjoyable.
Drawing Telephone Game
This is a telephone game where you pass along a prompted theme by drawing it without using words.
Each person draws their own picture based on the theme they interpret from the previous person’s drawing, so depending on drawing skill and interpretation, the theme can drift significantly.
It’s more difficult than conveying it with words, so if the last person can infer the theme, it’s a big success; if not, let’s review how it went off track.
To adjust the overall difficulty, it’s also recommended to check everyone’s drawing level before starting the game.
Catch Me If You Can
After talking with each other for a while, you both turn around, change just one part of your outfit, then face each other again and try to answer what changed—like a spot-the-difference game.
If you try it with close friends, you might even realize how much you usually pay attention to that person.
Gomoku
It’s a simple game where you win by lining up five of your pieces horizontally.
It’s recommended for travel, like on trains or buses.
Some sets have magnetic pieces that stick to the board, so normal travel vibrations aren’t a problem.
Even without a board, you can substitute pencil and paper and play.
Shogi
If you want to play quietly when there are other passengers on a train or bus, shogi is a good choice.
Even if you don’t know the rules, you can play as long as you learn how the pieces move.
When you’ve just learned the rules, you won’t be able to beat experienced players, so you can still play with them by giving yourself a handicap—reducing the number of their pieces.
It makes you think, so travel time flies by.
Time Bomb Game
How about trying a nerve‑racking, heart‑pounding time-bomb game? This game uses an item where a balloon pops when the time is up.
Players take turns answering prompts and pass the “bomb” along as they go.
The player holding the bomb when it explodes loses.
If you want something a bit easier to try, you can use an app that replicates the toy.
Either way, enjoy the thrill of not knowing when it will blow!
Who’s the victim? (game)
Prepare multiple cream puffs and put wasabi or mustard in just one of them.
Then, guess who ate the spicy one based on their reaction.
It’s a simple game, but it also tests acting skills and endurance, making it surprisingly deep.
