Pop balloons to get treasure
Place winning slips of paper inside balloons and inflate them.
Participants then do nothing but stomp, crush, and use their hands and feet to pop the balloons and search for a winning slip.
Whoever finds a winning slip gets the prize.
Give it a try when you have prizes prepared!
Hit-and-run game
It’s a game where you bunt the ball into a basket like in baseball, and once you get it in, you switch to the next person.
The team in which everyone finishes first wins.
It’s easy to play even if you don’t have baseball experience, so give it a try!
Is it an enlargement?
It’s a game where an enlarged image is shown and you buzz in to answer what’s being magnified.
It’s a quiz you often see on TV, right? When you actually try it, it can be pretty difficult.
Even slightly ambiguous close-ups of objects can be fun to look at, don’t you think?
After-the-fact rock-paper-scissors game
As the name suggests, it’s a game of after-the-fact rock-paper-scissors.
The host gives instructions like “please lose” or “please win,” and at the cue of “rock, paper, scissors!” everyone must throw their hand after the host.
It makes you think and is deceptively difficult.
You can also make it more fun by doing a last-person-standing format and turning it into a tournament.
In conclusion
We introduced party games and recreational activities that liven up a welcome party.
Since there will be many people meeting for the first time, focusing on games that help you get to know each other and team-based cooperative games will likely make it enjoyable for everyone.
Let’s plan it so that all participants can have fun and go home happy!
