Recommended ideas for student council projects at a school festival, such as recreational activities and stage events.

In addition to each class and club preparing their own attractions for the school festival, aren’t there also schools that hold special events organized by the student council?

That said, coming up with plans that students and visitors will truly enjoy can be quite a challenge.

So in this article, we’ll introduce recommended ideas for student council-led projects at school festivals!

We’ve gathered a variety of ideas, including decorations to brighten up the venue, recreational activities and games everyone can join, and stage events led by student council officers.

There are also school-wide ideas that only the student council can pull off, so be sure to use these as a reference.

folk dance

folk dance

A folk dance where you pair up in twos and dance to music.

Since it involves holding hands, it could be a heart-pounding event for anyone who has a crush in the class.

How about incorporating such a folk dance into your school festival, especially the after-party? It’s perfect for everyone to relax and enjoy a friendly time together after all the events and performances are over.

If you can get permission from the school, gather around a campfire.

Let’s bring the festival to a warm, heartfelt close.

From realistic stories to cinematic worlds! Here are some ideas for short film projects.

Many of you may be thinking about preserving your precious student days in photos and videos.

For those people, creating short films is highly recommended.

Try writing your own script and challenging yourselves with camera setups and video editing.

It may be your first attempt, but I believe a work you create yourselves will stay in your hearts forever.

Plus, it’s exciting to witness the audience’s reactions in real time as they watch your film projected on a big screen.

Real Life Game

I don't want a life like this >< Giant Real-Life Game of Life ☆ himawari-CH
Real Life Game

When it comes to The Game of Life, it’s a classic that everyone has played at least once.

The board is a path made up of many spaces, and you spin the roulette and move forward by the number you get.

Each space describes an event related to life, and the rule is to follow the instructions on the space where you land as you aim for the goal.

Let’s try creating a version of this Game of Life in a classroom or similar setting.

Since this will be a “real” version, participants will physically move along the spaces.

You’re free to decide what to write on each space, so try coming up with fun, life-related episodes.

You could even prepare prizes based on how much money players have left at the end.

A school festival is a special event that only happens once a year, right? If you’re wondering what to put on, we recommend producing a theme song for the festival! It’s not just for the music club or light music club—planning it with your class or the organizing committee is great, too.

Just imagining what kind of melody and lyrics it will have is enough to make your heart race, isn’t it?

Reading stage

Feel the raw power with your ears! Here are some ideas for a live reading stage.

If you’re in the drama club or have always dreamed of acting, you might be interested in staged readings.

They’re also great for those aspiring to be voice actors in anime or games.

Put emotion into your voice and deliver it to the audience.

Well-timed back-and-forth and heartfelt lines will resonate with them.

Not only your voice—your facial expressions can change the atmosphere too, so be sure to give it a try.

Chorus of Souls

Chorus of Souls

Stirring and moving! Here are some ideas for a soul-stirring choral performance.

When it comes to choir, there are various types like mixed chorus, male chorus, and female chorus.

The appeal will differ depending on the songs you want to sing and the makeup of your members.

Why not take this once-a-year opportunity at the school festival to move the audience with perfectly synchronized voices? In the video, two students sing the main parts while the rest perform in a chorus-like structure.

Try incorporating this while exploring a configuration that suits your group.
