The “Gyūtan” game, which naturally gets everyone into a circle, is a fun game that people of all ages—from small children to the elderly—can enjoy together.

The rules are simple: the first person says “gyū” out loud, and the second person doesn’t say “tan” but claps instead.

The “tan” at the end increases one by one—three times, then four times, and so on.

If you get the number of “tan” wrong or fall off the rhythm, you lose.

Once you get used to it, it’s fun to try speeding it up as a challenge.

In conclusion

How about enjoying games that require no props, spark lively conversations, and fill the time with smiles? From classic crowd-pleasers to games trending on social media, there are all kinds to choose from.

When everyone gets creative and plays together, bonds naturally grow stronger.

For making fun memories, be sure to try some exciting no-equipment games!
