[Prank] Surprise Ideas Recommended for School Culture Festivals (31–40)
A giant stuffed animal starts moving.
A prank where a big stuffed animal you thought was just a decoration suddenly moves.
You know those huge plushies that are about the size of a person, right? A person gets inside one and surprises the people around them.
If it’s a regular mascot costume, people won’t be that shocked even if it suddenly moves.
It’s important to use a stuffed animal that people would assume absolutely won’t move.
Get inside, slump down somewhere, and sit there just like an ornament.
Then, when someone approaches, move and startle them.
It’s also recommended to start with subtle movements so you don’t get caught, and gradually make your motions more obvious.
Try to keep it cute and plush-like so you don’t scare people too much!
A prank where a giant spider attacks
There are quite a lot of people, regardless of gender, who aren’t good with insects.
In particular, I think spiders would make the top three most disliked bugs.
So how would a classmate who hates insects react if a spider bigger than anything they’ve ever seen appeared right in front of them? Just imagining it makes me excited.
A ghost appears.
No matter how you look at it, it’s a cliché ghost—or rather, a person pretending to be a ghost—but how would you feel if someone completely ignored it? Of course, those who can’t see it are “pretending not to see,” but the lack of any reaction makes you gradually wonder, “Wait, do they really not see it? Am I the only one who can?” It’s the kind of prank that would really take off if you had several accomplices, but the key is how convincingly the accomplices act as if they can’t see it.
If the Student Council President Became a Dictator
Isn’t the image of a student council president—always serious and dependable—pretty much the same at any school? Someone who strictly follows the rules and works every day to make school life better: that’s the “serious” image, right? This skit plays on the idea of that very student council president transforming in front of the entire student body and turning into a dictator—a bit of a surprise gag.
Their condescending attitude toward everyone goes so over the top that it becomes downright hilarious.
At that point, you want them to go all in and unleash their full-on “my way or the highway” persona!
A prank where an unrequested delivery pizza shows up
This is way too funny! It might be a bit tricky to actually pull off, but if it could be done, it would definitely be hilarious.
Setting up a prank for a teacher is quite difficult, but the teacher who gets pranked would probably end up smiling at the students’ affection.
College students might want to give it a try.

A prank where a ghost is on the toilet seat
It’s an easy prank where you just slip a sheet of paper with a scary image between the toilet seat and the bowl, but school bathrooms tend to be a bit dark and have a certain atmosphere, don’t they? If you lift the lid and a ghost’s scary face pops out, someone who scares easily will be startled, and even someone who’s fine with that kind of thing might burst out laughing.
stab with a retractable knife
It’s a prank we’re prepared to get scolded by the teacher for, but don’t worry—even if you stab with it, it won’t actually pierce anything.
It’s a simple prank where you try “stabbing” a close friend with a retractable knife, but please be careful not to start a fight while chasing the thrill of the prank.
