A catalog of recommended festival booths for school culture festivals, with ideas that will shine on social media.

Yo-yo scooping

Yo-yo scooping

Yo-yo fishing, where you hook colorful water balloons floating on the surface.

It’s a booth that combines visual flair with the refreshing fun of water play.

By filling a large basin or kiddie pool with water and letting the yo-yos float, you can create a summer festival vibe in one corner of the venue.

The scooping tool uses twisted paper string, which tears easily but makes you want to try again and again—that’s part of the appeal.

The colors of the yo-yos reflected on the water are photogenic and likely to do well on social media.

Coordinating the yo-yo designs and color schemes creates a cohesive visual.

Because it offers both the satisfaction of a game and a cool, refreshing atmosphere, this mock stall is popular not only with children but also with high schoolers and adults.

lottery game with many strings (Senbonbiki)

Perfect for summer festivals and events☆Senbon-tsuri (lucky fishing game)

Senbonbiki, a game with rows of prizes attached to many strings.

You often see senbonbiki stalls at festivals, temple fairs, and events.

You pick one string from the tangle and pull it, then receive the prize attached to its end.

Wondering, “What prize will I get?” you pull the string with a mix of excitement and anticipation.

Since the prizes are visible, it really sparks customers’ desire to give it a try.

It’s sure to make your school cultural festival even more exciting.

stamp rally

[Chinese Restaurant Chu, Fukumitsu, Nanto City, Toyama] You can also get the Fukumitsu Downtown Culture Festival stamp rally stamp at Chu!

Although it’s a simple idea, it’s an easy event to implement because it doesn’t create lines or occupy specific locations.

It could be interesting to incorporate things like puzzle-solving activities.

If we can get each booth venue to cooperate and create a shared stamp rally, we can also expect overall promotional effects.

Bomberman (game) tournament

Bomberman

A display or screen is essential, but this is also done at live events.

If you run it in a tournament format and prepare snacks or small prizes for the winner or up to third place, it can get quite lively.

ring toss

The ring-toss skills hitting their stride: Visiting the Machida High School Evening Division Cultural Festival

Ring toss, a classic traditional game, is a highly popular idea for festival stalls.

If you make the rings by cutting out the centers of paper plates, they’ll be safe, lightweight, and easy to throw.

Using plastic bottles or cylindrical containers as targets makes material prep simple.

Writing point values on each target or pairing them with prizes increases the game’s appeal and boosts participants’ motivation.

Decorating the target stand with bright colors and creating a fun, eye-catching score chart will give the whole booth a lively atmosphere.

Smiles and focused expressions during play naturally create photo-worthy moments that attract attention on social media.

It’s an idea that people of all ages can enjoy and that also fosters interaction.

cutout

Godly Hands [Summer Festival Vibes!] Someone amazing at candy mold cutting! Festival stall, success, role-play, shopkeeper, pop-up stand, sneak peek

You often see candy molds at festivals and street fairs, but doing them at a school festival could feel really nostalgic and nice.

These days, there are probably many people who’ve never tried them, so the novelty might make them popular.

You can buy a set and just prepare some prizes, so it’s easy to set up.

♬ Mario like action game 2 – Jun Takahashi

Normally, a single Jenga block is about 7 cm, but how about going all out and making it huge for your school festival? We recommend making each block around 70 to 80 cm.

Use cardboard to form the shape, and decorate the exterior with colorful construction paper to make it cute and eye-catching.

As each block gets bigger, the tower will get taller too, giving it more of an attraction-like feel than regular Jenga and making it even more fun!
