Unusual attractions you can do in a classroom for a cultural or school festival

Cosplay experience

Introducing some of the costumes at an active cosplayer’s home

A cosplay experience would make for a unique attraction that draws attention at the school festival.

Set up a space where classmates and visitors can transform into various characters using easily prepared costumes and accessories.

Not only will participants enjoy expressing their individuality, but hosting a photo session will also produce plenty of memorable pictures.

To stand out from other classes and energize the festival, be sure to create a cosplay experience corner.

Let’s put on an unforgettable event and make it the talk of the festival.

2014.11.09 Shooting game didn’t go well: Machida High School Evening Program Cultural Festival

Just hearing the word “ennichi” makes you feel giddy, doesn’t it? If your school’s culture festival is open to the public, lots of local kids will probably come.

As long as you have the scoops for goldfish scooping, you can set that up right away—and if live animals are prohibited, you can easily switch to super ball scooping.

It’s also pretty simple to buy cheap snacks from a dagashi shop and run a “shateki” shooting booth.

If there’s a big rental shop nearby, you might even be able to borrow equipment for “smart ball.” Lining up lots of stalls to create an ennichi road could be a surprisingly fun idea!

Tea ceremony experience

Tea ceremony experience at Suwa Elementary School, Hokota City

Sen no Rikyū, revered as the Tea Sage, even served as a close advisor to Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

Accounts vary, but it’s said that Hideyoshi, fearing Rikyū’s almost charismatic influence, ultimately ordered him to commit seppuku.

So it seems he wasn’t devoted solely to the Way of Tea.

While some high schools have tea ceremony clubs, for elementary school students the tea ceremony can feel a bit remote.

How about organizing a hands-on tea ceremony event? Once you learn a few basic manners, the Way of Tea actually offers quite a bit of flexibility—I’m sure even elementary schoolers would enjoy it.

And the traditional sweets that accompany the bitter tea are a real draw, too!

Kicking Sniper

Kicking Sniper: aim for a high score by kicking a ball at moving targets.

It’s a game that was featured on a TV show.

Let’s have players take their shots after lining up their aim on the targets.

Since the targets move, hitting them might be tricky, but when the ball connects, the excitement skyrockets.

To knock the targets down, you’ll need precise kicks and strong focus.

Lay down some cardboard, place the targets on top, and pull them with a string to create moving targets.

It’s a fun game that draws cheers every time a target falls.

Laputa Shooting Range

@kazuyo_dayo

One year ago, we made a Laputa-themed shooting gallery for our school’s cultural festival.#CardboardCraftsCultural Festival#LaputaKazuyo

How about incorporating the world of a famous anime into your school festival game? Imagine a shooting gallery that pays homage to a scene from Studio Ghibli’s Castle in the Sky.

Make Pazu’s big cannon out of cardboard and try to hit the targets.

Using Colonel Muska, made from cardboard, as the target could really liven things up.

It seems Colonel Muska is quite the marksman in the story, too.

It could be fun to include his handgun as well.

By the way, his pistol is said to be the military sidearm adopted by the British Army during World War II.
