Cosplay dance
How about doing a dance performance in cosplay as characters from anime that are popular with kids? You often see cosplay from the anime Demon Slayer, which has captivated not only children but many adults as well.
If it’s a popular anime, it’s easy to find character costumes and cosplay accessories.
Go all-in on the cosplay and dance to one of the hit theme songs—It’s sure to be a blast! Research the characters kids love and give a cool performance!
Sea Dance Competition: Ebikanix
Keropons’ “Ebikanix” is a huge hit with kids.
It’s an adorable act where a shrimp and a crab dance and do exercises.
How about trying a slightly story-driven version where you split into a Shrimp Team and a Crab Team and hold an “Undersea Dance Contest”? Just when you think it’s a shrimp vs.
crab dance showdown… clams, jellyfish, and even a shark make an appearance.
It’s an exciting performance featuring more ocean friends than the children expect, sure to get them thrilled.
Puppet show with mechanisms
This is a pop-up paper puppet show perfect for birthday parties.
It has interactive elements where various ingredients appear as you make a birthday cake.
With each page you turn, introduce the ingredient that appears, add it to the bowl, mix, bring out the oven to bake, and finally reveal a big cake.
At the birthday party, let’s all sing Happy Birthday at the end! You can also create seasonal versions to match other events, like Halloween or Christmas, and give them a try even outside of birthday parties.
Apron Theater
An apron theater that expresses everything with just your body? As the name suggests, the story unfolds on an apron.
Characters and objects are attached to the apron with hook-and-loop fasteners so they can be repeatedly stuck on and taken off, and pockets are used to bring the story to life.
While singing the curry rice song, you complete the curry—kids will surely feel as if they’re making it themselves and will sing along, excited to see it finished.
It would be even more exciting if several childcare workers lined up wearing aprons and turned it into a big story.
[Magic] The Mysterious Paper Bag

Magic that makes communicating with children fun! Here’s a mysterious paper bag idea.
How about putting on a curious and delightful act that makes it look like the teacher has turned into a magician? Put a card with an apple illustration into a paper bag, do a countdown, and then—surprise!—a real apple appears from the bag.
The children will be fascinated by the magic and the teacher’s movements.
You can almost hear them asking, “How did you make the apple appear?”
