Wonderful school festival / cultural festival

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.

Experienced with a variety of instruments: marching band in elementary school, clarinet in junior high school wind ensemble, and drums in a band from high school onward. Drawing on my own musical activities and the experience gained through my work, I produce daily articles, including various song introductions, features on music festivals around the country, and live reports. In music, I enjoy not only rock from Japan and abroad but, lately, a wide range of J-pop as well.

Woodworking

People today spend a lot of time in the digital world.

Compared to the past, children play less with wooden toys—in fact, they have fewer chances to touch wood at all.

So how about getting them into woodworking? You can adjust the difficulty by grade level, and I think kids will be excited to use carpentry tools they don’t usually encounter, like saws and hammers.

There are plenty of woodworking projects that don’t use nails, too.

Exhibits of less familiar tools like planes and chisels might also feel fresh and intriguing for children!

Acrobatic performance

Acrobatic performances, where physical ability really matters, would look so cool if you could showcase them at a school festival.

These performances often combine gymnastics and dance, and when they succeed, the crowd gets really fired up.

Performing with multiple people can refine the act even more, allowing for complex formations and adding depth to the expression.

When deciding the flow of the performance, choosing a story or theme and discussing it together as a group might further improve your performance as a team and strengthen your bond.

Opening Movie Thief

How about creating an opening video inspired by the pre-show etiquette film “NO MORE Movie Thief”? When you think of “NO MORE Movie Thief,” the famous characters are the Camera Man and the Police Light Man who catches him, right? It’s also known for having no dialogue, with scenes expressed through pantomime and the cautions conveyed by narration.

Why not use this parody-style video to introduce the things you want people to be mindful of at the school festival and its theme? It even has dance-like elements, so it’s fun for the performers too!

A rap MC battle that’s guaranteed to hype everyone up is perfect for a high school cultural festival.

In a rap MC battle, two high school rappers go head-to-head, crafting lyrics on the spot and competing with sharp wordplay and tight rhymes—it’s a fiery performance.

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!
