Darts made with paper plates and masking tape

Goodbye Declaration – Chinozo
Let me introduce darts, a surefire hit for livening up your school festival casino games.
Get some paper plates and masking tape, and let’s make it! Stick the masking tape onto the paper plate to form a spiderweb pattern.
When attaching the tape, place it with the adhesive side facing outward.
For the darts, crumple tissue paper into a ball and wrap it tightly with masking tape to make it a slightly firm ball.
Once it’s finished, stick the target on the wall and have fun playing!
A slot machine that moves with twine and stops with a magnet
One of the classic casino games is the slot machine.
You can find them in many arcades, too.
If there were a slot machine at a school festival, people would probably think, “I want to try it!” It’s known for its spinning reels, but it seems difficult to make one yourself, right? Actually, you can build one using craft paper, twine, and a hot glue gun.
You can probably get everything at a 100-yen shop.
The reels are powered by the twine.
Playing with a slot machine is fun, but a handmade slot machine would likely spark even more excitement.

Handmade roulette
Some classes might set up booths offering a casino experience at school festivals.
Here’s how to make a roulette wheel that could come in handy for that.
The materials are cardboard and bamboo skewers.
After cutting out the parts with a circle cutter and a utility knife, glue them together with wood glue.
Once you’ve made the rotating inner part and the fixed outer part, insert a bamboo skewer through the inner part.
Finally, make a marble slide.
Drop a marble onto the rotating inner section, and the number is determined by the slot where it lands.
Once you make it, you can keep playing with it, so give it a try!
Sparkling drinks to enjoy from the 100-yen shop
100-yen stores keep evolving day by day.
From everyday staple seasonings and stationery to clever gadgets that make life easier, these shops have become indispensable in our daily lives.
How about selling sparkling drinks using “aurora powder” sold at these 100-yen stores? This aurora syrup makes ordinary liquids glow gently like the aurora—it’s wonderfully mesmerizing.
It also caters perfectly to today’s photo-worthy trends! Be sure to offer plenty of color variations using shaved ice syrups and more!
Fluffy Iced Matcha Latte
People have been saying there’s a matcha boom for quite some time, but I feel like matcha is no longer just a trend—it’s becoming a part of Japanese culture.
What do you think? Convenience stores always carry new matcha-flavored sweets, right? So let’s aim to be the most popular booth at the school festival with a “Fluffy Iced Matcha Latte.” The basics are simple: mix frozen matcha with frothed milk.
Add store-bought matcha chocolate or matcha cream as toppings, and you’ll have a refreshing-looking matcha latte.
Even the time spent planning the menu sounds fun.
Original Drink

Choosing the flavor profile, whether to include ice, and how to decorate them will make it easier to finalize the menu—highly recommended.
Also decide how many types of original drinks you’ll offer.
Preparing both hot and iced options to match the season will likely boost popularity.
Definitely give it a try!
Sparkling Drink
https://www.tiktok.com/@petrel_jp/video/7358402745449205008There’s something called aurora powder.
It comes in pink, blue, and lots of other colors, and you can tint clear soda so it looks like the aurora is shimmering through it.
Hard to picture in words? Try searching for a related video—you’ll definitely find yourself thinking, “I want to make this!” You can also wrap cotton candy with aurora powder to add a little flair in the moments before it melts.
Combine it with edible glitter and you can make even more sparkling drinks.
If you care about looks above all, this is a wildly recommended pick.
