Blue and Summer
@daiki1240 [School Festival] Class Video “Blue and Summer 3-2 ver.” Watch the full version from the comments ✨Blue and SummeryouthClass videoCultural 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.
Soran Bushi

Your heart leaps at the powerful performance! Here are some ideas for the Soran Bushi.
Soran Bushi is a folk song from the Sea of Japan coast of Hokkaido, famous as a herring-fishing song.
Many of you may have danced it at school sports festivals.
Since you’ll be performing it at a cultural festival, you’ll want to raise the quality so people say, “Amazing!” and “So cool!” With perfectly synchronized movements and well-timed calls, it’s a spectacular piece that makes a strong impact.
The time you devote to practicing earnestly will become a treasure for life.
Costume Contest

Ideas that entertain the audience! Here are some ideas for costume contests.
When you think of a costume contest, the famous one is the TV show on Nippon TV where participants dress up as various things and compete on creativity.
The stage sets are cleverly made, and the participants move in perfect sync.
How about livening up the venue with a costume contest that makes the audience think, “Amazing!” and “How does that work?” You can also find lots of ideas on video sites, so be sure to check those out for inspiration.
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.
Invite celebrities, comedians, and artists

One of the classic choices for a student council project at a school festival is a celebrity talk show, a comedy performance, or an artist’s live set.
While inviting celebrities does require some budget, just having someone people have seen on TV come to your school will really liven things up! Since you can expect many visitors who want to see the celebrities, it’s important to secure a spacious venue and prepare tickets.
At a school festival, you can feel incredibly close to the performers, making it a memory you’ll never forget.
Toothpick Art
@momochan717 Toothpick art created over the course of a yearThe base is made of Styrofoam, and the toothpicks are painted with black and white paint, then colored and left to dry—taking time and effort.The days I lamented how toothpicks snapped so easily—the memory of me helping and staying up late into the night.To decorate in commercial facilities

Toothpick art using everyday toothpicks is surprisingly moving, isn’t it? When students make toothpick art, decide on a theme and discuss the size and shape as you create it.
You’ll build the fine toothpick parts while varying their height and number.
Since it’s for a school festival, aiming for a piece with impact is recommended.
Hosting a toothpick art contest and having people vote could also make things exciting.
Working together to create a single piece will likely become a wonderful shared memory.
stained glass
Let’s brighten up the school festival venue with vibrant stained-glass-style decorations to warmly welcome visitors.
Since making real stained glass would be difficult, I recommend designs inspired by stained glass—such as sticking transparent tape onto glass or drawing pictures with pens on large sheets of film.
Because this is venue decoration, most of the work will be done in advance, which also means you’ll be relatively free to move around on the day of the event—a big plus.
Balance the workload of preparation and decide thoughtfully how many pieces you’ll turn into stained-glass-style displays.
In conclusion
We introduced recommended ideas for student council projects at school festivals. From classic stage events and venue decorations to recreational activities and games that everyone can enjoy, there were a variety of ideas—from easy-to-join options to large-scale plans unique to student council projects. Make your school festival even more exciting with a wonderful student council initiative!
