Stand Out at the School Festival! A Collection of Unusual Ideas You Can Do at School and in the Classroom

Calligraphy performance

Hyogo Prefectural Ikawadani Kita High School Calligraphy Club – Calligraphy Performance (2022 Takusho Festival)

How about a calligraphy performance where you showcase shodo while clapping and dancing to music? Calligraphy performances have even been made into movies, and they’re featured at Koshien, too.

Let’s work together in a small group to write characters or paint pictures with large brushes on a big sheet of paper.

Viewers will be excited, wondering, “What kind of piece will it turn into?” For costumes, you could all match in hakama, which would look great, though school uniforms are perfectly fine as well.

The best part is that once it’s finished, it becomes a wonderful calligraphy artwork that will stay in your memories forever.

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!

♬ Original Song – SS [Farewell, Aichi] – SS [Farewell, Aichi]

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.

The biggest thrills come from the live energy: instantly spun words, rhymes delivered in rhythm, and the crowd’s excitement reaching a fever pitch.

Cheers and applause from the audience might even sway the outcome of the battle! Definitely give it a try and make it a highlight of your youth.

Daily life of a high school girl

@kansaiarts

This story is a dramatized version of our everyday life.I tried acting it out#shortstory#fyp#foryou#06#07#08#09#jk#jk’s daily lifeShort Drama#littlegleemonsterKansai Culture and Arts High School#CapCut

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!

[School Festival] Class Video “Blue and Summer 3-2 ver.” Watch the full version from the comments ✨Blue and SummeryouthClass videoCultural 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 SchoolPlanetariumExploration 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.
