Wonderful school festival / cultural festival

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

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!”

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.

flash mob

Capture hearts with a surprising twist! Here are some flash mob ideas.

A flash mob is a performance put on without prior notice, like a guerrilla act, to draw attention from those around.

Many flash mobs feature dance or singing, captivating audiences with unexpected moves.

In the video, you can see students in the courtyard joining in one by one, eventually putting on a large-group dance.

A school setting, with so many people, is perfect for this kind of flash mob—why not give it a try?

short film

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.

airsoft

School Festival [Academic Year 2021]

airsoft

Airsoft is a war-themed game where players shoot at each other with airsoft guns in forests or abandoned factories.

How about turning it into an indoor game perfect for a school festival? Transform a classroom into a maze using cardboard, and decorate it with plastic strings, balloons, and other items.

We recommend decorating it to resemble an actual airsoft field, evoking an urban area or a forest.

Let participants make their way through the maze-like field with hearts pounding in excitement.

Even soft toy guns sold at 100-yen shops are more than enough to have fun.

Arrange the school song

@yomii_tiktok
During class, I turned the school anthem into EDM and played it without permission, and then the principal... lol#Yomii　Prank　TranslationDuring class
♪ Original song – Yomii – Yomii

Arrange the school anthem by blending tradition with surprise.

By boldly giving the normally solemn anthem a modern twist—EDM, rock, jazz, and more—you can deliver both astonishment and laughter to the audience.

Start the intro in the usual way, then suddenly switch up the rhythm and melody midway for maximum impact.

Add visual surprises like choreography or costume changes to boost excitement.

It’s also effective to list only “School Anthem” on posters and programs, surprising unsuspecting attendees.

While honoring tradition, this challenge of bringing in a fresh breeze will create a truly special memory.

Surprise flash mob

A surprise flash mob for the teachers at our final school festival — Shikoku Gakuin University Kagawa Nishi High School Soccer Club

Surprise flash mob

It’s the perfect production to bring a sense of unity and surprise to the school festival.

At first, everyone behaves normally, and when the music suddenly starts, classmates break into dance, leaving the audience thrilled and excited.

Choosing popular songs everyone knows or tracks that match the event’s theme will boost the energy.

By practicing simple choreography in advance and making it easy for anyone to join, you increase the chances of success.

If you sync the timing and involve the entire school, it can become a major event.

It’s a plan that lets you join forces with friends and feel a real sense of togetherness.

Let’s try making a short drama! Here are some ideas for “A High School Girl’s Daily Life.” In recent years, more and more short dramas have been appearing on social media, so many of you might be interested in creating one yourselves.

These are brief story videos, typically 1 to 3 minutes long, designed to be viewed vertically on smartphones.

Give it a try.

While we’re showcasing videos that spotlight high school girls this time, it would be wonderful to adapt the concept to topics or themes that interest you.

Definitely try incorporating these ideas!

Blue and Summer

@daiki1240
[School Festival] Class Video “Blue and Summer 3-2 ver.” Watch the full version from the comments ✨Blue and Summer youth Class video Cultural Festival @Mrs. GREEN APPLE
♬ Original track – Ryu – 07ryu_

This is a video project produced as a class video, themed around Mrs.

GREEN APPLE’s hugely popular song “Ao to Natsu.” It depicts students earnestly dedicating themselves to their club activities, resulting in a piece that truly captures the essence of youth.

Even if it’s not about clubs, it would be great to film the preparation time for cultural festivals or school festivals.

Both the time spent making the video and the finished work itself become dazzling memories.

Be sure to preserve those unforgettable moments with your classmates as a work of art.
