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 for 10 years as a kindergarten teacher and for 7 years as an after-school childcare instructor, then took a post as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I also engaged in activities that shared Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational play, working with many children. Afterwards, through freelance writing, planning, and editing work at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and conveying ideas. Leveraging the perspective cultivated in educational settings and my experience as an editor, I aim to deliver practical information—focusing on fields related to music and children—that values both input and output. Hobbies include instruments, singing, handcrafts, toys, drawing, traditional play, the outdoors, books, DIY, and crafts. Special skill: spinning-top tricks.

I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

The school festival is a major event in high school life.

I’m sure many students are eager to say, “We want to put on fun attractions and entertain everyone!”

Amid this excitement, one thing that’s been drawing attention in recent years is hosting attractions.

More and more schools are handcrafting amusement park–style attractions like roller coasters and spinning teacups.

In this article, we’ll introduce a range of high-quality attraction ideas that, on top of those, are the kind of challenges only high schoolers can take on.

Be sure to create something wonderful while keeping safety in mind.

Attractions for a School Festival That Only High Schoolers Could Make!? Ideas (41–50)

Find the Real Wally

As a game that can involve the entire school, how about a real-life “Where’s Wally?” (Where’s Waldo)? “Where’s Wally?” is a hugely popular children’s picture book where you look for Wally, who wears a red-and-white striped outfit, in a crowded scene.

The idea is to adapt this for the bustling environment of a school festival, where participants search for people dressed as Wally.

You could offer prizes to those who find Wally, or have people take photos with Wally and post them on social media.

With the right touches, this could become a big hit.
