Games and Food Stalls (1–10)
plastic sheet
As an interactive booth, making shrink plastic charms—something that leaves you with a tangible keepsake along with the memories—will likely be popular.
It’s an ideal attraction especially for school festivals that welcome young children.
Preparation is simple too, so it’s easy to run!
Games and Stalls (11–20)
Karaoke Stall
How about hosting a singing contest that anyone can join, set up in a street-stall-style karaoke box? If you make it a battle format and have attendees and music teachers serve as judges, it’s sure to heat up the crowd.
It’ll be even more exciting if you offer prizes to those who receive high marks from the judges.
Whac-A-Mole
This is a festival booth idea with strong action elements where you aim at and whack quickly moving moles.
Make multiple holes in a box-shaped base, and have friends put their hands underneath to push in and pull out plush toys or paper moles—handmade yet convincingly dynamic.
If you make the hammer by rolling up newspaper, it’s safe and easy to prepare the materials.
With some creative decorations, the game booth quickly turns into a cute, photo-worthy space.
Add a time limit and compete for scores, and participants will naturally get excited.
Because both players and helpers have fun together, it’s a perfect idea for a school festival that boosts the class’s sense of unity.
Caricature artist
Even if you’re not in an art club, as long as you’re confident in your drawing skills, you’re good to go! How about running a caricature booth? You can get started with just paper and a pencil.
Using a painting program on a computer could be a good option too.
giant maze
A giant maze made from cardboard turns a school festival venue into an adventure stage with an interactive booth.
All you need are large moving boxes.
Spread them out on the floor, assemble them, and alternate between corridors and dead ends to create that thrilling maze feeling.
By leaving the maze without a ceiling, you improve safety and make it easier to see inside from the outside.
Adding guide signs and quiz checkpoints makes the journey to the goal more engaging.
Decorating the walls makes it photogenic and great for posting on social media.
Incorporating glowing items or colorful paper decorations creates an even more striking space.
It’s a hands-on, crowd-pleasing booth that people of all ages can enjoy.
Darts game
How about trying a sport with a mature vibe—darts—at your school festival? Rather than a full-fledged setup like a darts bar, it’s best to tweak the target so anyone can enjoy it.
For example, since a real dartboard is small and quite difficult, you could keep the same target design but make it much larger, or try an idea where players aim at balloons fixed in a grid frame.
Preparing prizes based on scores will make it even more exciting.
graffiti rice cracker
“Graffiti rice crackers” are apparently a staple food stall at festivals in Shizuoka Prefecture.
As the name suggests, you draw pictures on a rice cracker, but the method is a bit unusual and fun! You draw on a large shrimp cracker with syrup, sprinkle colored sugar over it, and then shake off the excess… and the picture you drew in syrup appears in sugar! It sounds like something little kids would love, but it also seems like middle and high schoolers and even adults would enjoy it.
And of course, you can eat it after you finish drawing, so it’s a fun and tasty attraction.
