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!”

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!

Don’t worry, Be happy

I think everyone feels anxious about whether their preparation and effort will pay off and whether they’ll grasp success.

It’s a slogan that gently supports those anxious feelings—ones you might even feel on the day of the school festival—while nudging you kindly toward a fun time.

With a positive message like “No worries—let’s have fun,” it seems to loosen tense hearts with a light, easygoing vibe.

By presenting words that gently stay by your side, it’s a phrase that also evokes images of your friends and the bonds you share.

“Go for it” is a phrase that means things like “Do your best!” or “You can do it!” It’s perfect for students working together as a class or group to make their school festival a success.

Its sound can feel both pop and cool, so it’s easy to use and highly recommended.

Put it on a banner or poster as a slogan, and it’ll instantly call to mind students giving it their all.

Let’s Make History Together

The slogan “Let’s Make History Together,” recommended for school festivals, conveys a sense of unity and hope for the future, meaning “let’s create history together.” Using an English slogan changes the impression and gives it a stylish feel.

It’s also appealing to add a message about cooperation and the future after the slogan.

Check your school’s theme and create a compelling slogan.

Let’s make it a fun and memorable school festival!

Make you happy

These words honestly express the desire to bring smiles to everyone who takes part.

It’s not just about us having fun, but creating a place where those who come can also enjoy themselves.

It becomes an opportunity to plan concepts and performances that value the spirit of hospitality.

At food stalls, aiming for cheerful customer service, and in stage presentations, incorporating ideas that let the audience get excited together, are especially effective.

Using smiling faces and colorful designs in pamphlets and posters conveys the warm atmosphere of the entire cultural festival.

It’s a wonderful theme that brightens our own hearts by making someone else smile.
