A roundup of fun slogan ideas perfect for a school festival

10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.

I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

What did YOU come to ___ for?

It has the approachable feel of a TV show and grabs the attention of culture festival visitors by posing a question.

Its flexibility is also appealing, as themes can be adapted by class or grade.

For example, using the slogan “What did YOU come to the festival for?” encourages participants to think about their own goals while enjoying each exhibit and performance.

Posters and pamphlets designed in an interview style can further unify the overall concept.

It creates a setting where students take center stage, shine, and each of their stories comes to life.

Welcome to the whirlwind of laughter and emotion at the XX Festival!

Slogans for school festivals can really attract visitors, don’t you think? I believe a slogan can also change the vibe of the festival.

For the slogan “Welcome to the whirlpool of laughter and emotion at XX Festival!”, please insert the name of your festival in place of XX.

Short, rhythmic slogans are easy to remember and might boost excitement for the event.

Also, using different phrases helps differentiate your festival from others—that’s a key point too.

Wishing you a fun and successful festival!

Youth is about going against the flow!

There’s a saying by Nissei’s famed president, Gen Hirose: “Don’t go against the current, but don’t just be carried by it either.” That mindset is very important for working adults.

But for those in the midst of their youth, it might feel a bit constraining.

In that case, maybe it’s fine to feel your youth by “starting with going against the current.” Isn’t it the perfect slogan for a youth that lives while resisting detours, failures, and unfairness—resisting everything? For a school that’s usually seen as “serious,” it might make an especially impactful slogan!

The ◯◯ cultural festival was awesome!!

For those who don’t know much about Chiikawa, you might wonder, “Which one is Chiikawa?” Or rather, some might even think, “Is Chiikawa the name of something?” One of the characters in the manga, Hachiware, is also max-level cute.

The character is said to be based on a white cat with a bicolor (hachiware) pattern.

Perhaps because of their explanatory role, the “XX tte koto?” Hachiware-style phrasing is famous, too.

And the way they get excited and say “XX tte saikō!” is super pretty.

The illustrations are easy to draw, so it’s recommended for anyone looking for a cute slogan!
