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!

Reading stage

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.

high school student band

Take this opportunity to form a band! Here are some ideas for high school bands.

Many of you may already be in a band or play an instrument, but forming a band to perform on stage is also highly recommended.

How about delivering the best music with members you can only play with right now? Even if it’s a special one-day band, the time and passion you’ve put into practice will surely reach the audience.

Perform covers of your favorite bands or showcase your own songs and make some great memories!

Chorus of Souls

[Moving] Sangoku High School’s Soulful Chorus “Seikai” by RADWIMPS – Culture Festival 2024

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.

Photo spot

Wouldn’t it be exciting to turn the entire classroom into an Instagrammable photo spot? Stylish balloons and decorative tape that can be used for photo spots are easy to find at 100-yen shops and similar stores.

Try creating a chic, sophisticated balloon arch, decorating the walls with dried flowers, dried fruit, and nuts, or setting up a bold, pop-inspired corner—there are lots of ways to style it.

Making small props like photo props would make it even more fun.

fortune-telling

I’m interested in fortune-telling, but it takes courage to step into that unique atmosphere, doesn’t it? If there were a fortune-telling room or booth at a school festival, though, it would be easier to enter and might even be popular.

There are many kinds of fortune-telling, but the standard topics are probably things like health, suitable careers, and the timing of marriage.

Since it’s a school festival attraction, it doesn’t have to be accurate.

Focus on making the costumes and your manner of speaking feel authentic! If you want to get serious, try studying tarot or palm reading.
