Wonderful school festival / cultural festival

Unusual attractions you can do in a classroom for a cultural or school 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.
Editor-in-Chief, RAG MUSICHane Keisuke
Editor-in-chief of RAG MUSIC. JFC-certified fact-checker. After working in a music studio and handling wedding sound, joined the RAG MUSIC editorial team in 2016. 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.

We want to make the most of our once-a-year school festival.

When deciding on our class attraction, the classic exhibits and presentations are great, but since it’s a day to remember, we’d love to try a slightly unusual idea that visitors won’t forget.

So here, we’ll introduce unique class-room-based attraction ideas! From handmade attractions to interactive events, we’ve gathered unusual concepts that are a bit different from other classes.

You’re sure to find the perfect idea for your class!

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.

A planetarium made by a high school student

@sapporoshinyo
We tried making a planetarium: third-year students in the inquiry course spent a year building it ⭐️Shinyou High School Planetarium Exploration Course
♬ Planetarium (MP3 catalog number) – Ai Otsuka

You might think a planetarium would be hard to make without a dome or professional equipment, right? But with the right ideas, even high school students can create one! In this example, they’ve built a solid dome.

Is that black construction paper lining the inside? These days, affordable home planetariums are available, so if you’re making a smaller dome, you can actually set one up quite easily just by getting one of those.

A quiet, traditional planetarium is great, but you could also mix in lively visuals and use it as a photo spot, too.

Debate Tournament

[Hiroo Gakuen vs. Nanzan Girls] A Battle Over What’s Essential for Marriage: Money or Love [High School Debate Championship]

Debate Tournament

Have you ever seen a debate showdown on TV or video sites? Unlike a discussion where people exchange opinions, a debate splits participants into affirmative and negative sides on a single topic, and they argue to persuade the other side and determine a winner.

Wouldn’t it be interesting to try that kind of debate showdown as a school festival activity? If possible, choose representatives who are articulate and have a strong vocabulary, and really push the message that our side’s argument is superior.

It’s a bit unconventional, so it’s sure to stand out as a showcase!

Bingo

Bingo Tournament (School Festival)

Bingo

Bingo is a game where numbers are announced at random, and if the number appears on your bingo card, you mark it off; players who complete a line first win and drop out.

It’s a classic, simple number-based game often used to wrap up parties.

All you need to prepare is bingo cards, a roulette or other device to draw numbers, and prizes for those who complete a line.

The growing anticipation as lines start to fill is a big part of the game’s appeal, so the caller should be mindful to build excitement with their tone.

If your budget for prizes is limited, it’s especially important to create a lively atmosphere so participants leave satisfied.

Friends for life.

Lifelong Friends. ~A Challenge to Perfectly Cover Akizakura Students~ [Movie “One Week Friends.” MV] [Calpis Commercial] [NHK toitoitoi / Me, a Cat / PythagoraSwitch] #YouTube Koshien

Friends for life.

Let’s create an epic masterpiece that will become a lifelong memory! Here are some ideas for “Lifelong Friends.” Many of you probably have a strong desire to get serious about making videos.

This work was reportedly created over about two months after being planned by the class.

Not only will it remain memorable as a finished piece, but the time you spent dedicating yourselves to video production with your cherished friends—time that is truly valuable—will also stay in your heart, without a doubt.

Give it a try!
