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.

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!

Handmade billiards table

[DIY] Handmade Billiards Table

Handmade billiards table

How about livening up your school festival with a handmade billiards table? It’s said that the world’s first billiards table was made for Louis XI in 1469.

I had no idea it was such a historic sport—how surprising! For the table, use materials like plywood and 2×4 lumber.

If you connect the sections with hinges, you can fold it in half for easy storage.

For the balls, buy round wooden pieces, paint them, and write the numbers on them.

Set a tea strainer or mesh under the pocket openings to catch the balls.

Once you cover the entire surface with felt, it’s complete.

How to make a wooden medal game

We’ll show you how to make a wooden medal game that has a warm, handmade feel.

Prepare wood, a motor, casters, adhesive, and screws, then get started.

When using a saw for cutting, firmly secure the board with your foot while you cut.

It’s important to wear shoes during cutting to help prevent injury.

After processing the parts, assemble everything at the end.

Use screws and adhesive for assembly.

The key is to check the positioning and movement as you put it together.

Sparkling drinks to enjoy from the 100-yen shop

100-yen stores keep evolving day by day.

From everyday staple seasonings and stationery to clever gadgets that make life easier, these shops have become indispensable in our daily lives.

How about selling sparkling drinks using “aurora powder” sold at these 100-yen stores? This aurora syrup makes ordinary liquids glow gently like the aurora—it’s wonderfully mesmerizing.

It also caters perfectly to today’s photo-worthy trends! Be sure to offer plenty of color variations using shaved ice syrups and more!

Fluffy Iced Matcha Latte

http://www.lemon8-app.com

People have been saying there’s a matcha boom for quite some time, but I feel like matcha is no longer just a trend—it’s becoming a part of Japanese culture.

What do you think? Convenience stores always carry new matcha-flavored sweets, right? So let’s aim to be the most popular booth at the school festival with a “Fluffy Iced Matcha Latte.” The basics are simple: mix frozen matcha with frothed milk.

Add store-bought matcha chocolate or matcha cream as toppings, and you’ll have a refreshing-looking matcha latte.

Even the time spent planning the menu sounds fun.

Offering original drinks at the school festival sounds like a great way to stand out from other booths and build excitement! First, let’s decide what kind of drinks you want to make.

Choosing the flavor profile, whether to include ice, and how to decorate them will make it easier to finalize the menu—highly recommended.

Also decide how many types of original drinks you’ll offer.

Preparing both hot and iced options to match the season will likely boost popularity.

Definitely give it a try!
