Recommended for school festivals! A collection of funny slogan ideas

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 for 10 years as a kindergarten teacher and for 7 years as an after-school childcare instructor, then took a post as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I also engaged in activities that shared Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational play, working with many children. Afterwards, through freelance writing, planning, and editing work at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and conveying ideas. Leveraging the perspective cultivated in educational settings and my experience as an editor, I aim to deliver practical information—focusing on fields related to music and children—that values both input and output. Hobbies include instruments, singing, handcrafts, toys, drawing, traditional play, the outdoors, books, DIY, and crafts. Special skill: 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!”

Attack on ◯◯

A simple yet dynamic slogan inspired by the anime “Attack on Titan.” Insert a school or organization name in the 〇〇 part to create a sense of unity.

Drawing on the work’s themes, it evokes the image of bravely confronting hardship, and the lettering conveys a strong sense of momentum.

Because the character count is short, if you’re designing a banner, it’s recommended to depict it large using the series’ logo as a motif.

Incorporating a famous quote from “Attack on Titan” as a subtitle could also be interesting.

I declare that I want to enjoy my youth

A school festival is an important event that colors our youth—you want to truly feel that youthful spirit from the preparations all the way to the big day.

This slogan sounds like a bold declaration of the wish to experience that youth through the festival.

The inclusion of the phrase “want to” gives it a slightly modest tone, which adds a lightness to the wording and makes it feel cute.

Rather than a firm resolve, it conveys the image of a gentle wish, and that sense of relatability is likely a key point.

Everyone is living their best life

How about the slogan “Everyone’s Living Their Best Life,” capturing the idea of a culture festival that everyone can enjoy? “Riajuu” is a relatively new term that’s short for “people whose real lives are fulfilling.” It refers to having a rich personal life—hanging out with friends, diving into hobbies, and so on.

The word has various nuances, but here we’re using it in the sense of people who are having a great time.

With this slogan in mind, please make it a culture festival where everyone can have an absolute blast.

◯◯ Festival Over Flowers

This theme is inspired by the saying “hana yori dango” (literally, dumplings over flowers), which depicts someone at a cherry-blossom viewing who is more absorbed in the food than the blossoms—prioritizing practicality over elegance.

By turning that idea into a message of “flowers aside, focus on the school festival,” it conveys confidence in the festival we’ve built so far.

The inclusion of the word “flower” also helps express the lively, festive atmosphere of the event.

Another key point is the light, catchy sound of the phrase, which suggests we want visitors to enjoy themselves casually and highlights how fun the festival will be.

If people go right, I go left.

This phrase expresses a determination to stay true to our own unique path without being swayed by those around us.

A school festival is the perfect stage to freely showcase individuality and creativity.

By deliberately taking on ideas that differ from the norm, we can leave a strong impression on visitors.

If we present original projects that slightly diverge from the mainstream in our exhibits or performances, they will align perfectly with this slogan.

Designing a poster with one left-pointing arrow inside a field of right-pointing arrows will communicate the theme even more clearly.

It’s a message that conveys our desire to uphold a style that’s entirely our own.

Savoring the moratorium!

This is a slogan that, while noting there will be no classes during the cultural festival, expresses the desire to enjoy this time to the fullest.

It conveys the wish that this fun, class-free period—this temporary pause—could last forever.

Precisely because we know the time is limited, it also carries a determination to make the event more fulfilling.

“Moratorium” also means a grace period, and the hint that suffering awaits after the event adds a humorous touch.
