Attraction Ideas for School Festivals That Only High Schoolers Can Pull Off?

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.

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.

Attraction Ideas for a School Festival That Only High Schoolers Could Make!? (31–40)

Bank Bowling

[VR × Physics Engine] Recreating VS Arashi! I tried making Bank Bowling!

Bank Bowling

Here’s an introduction to bank bowling, a bowling game that uses a slope.

In regular bowling, you roll the ball straight down a lane to knock over the pins.

In bank bowling, there’s an incline like a ramp.

You calculate how to use that sloped section and throw the ball.

Not only do power and release position matter, but changing where you throw the ball can send it to completely different spots.

It might be harder to hit the pins, but when you do and they fall, it’s sure to be exciting.

You can make the sloped section using cardboard.

Water Shooting

Blast away with cold water! [How to Make a Water Gun] How to make a water gun

Water Shooting

How about creating a target-shooting attraction using water guns? You’ll feel like a spy—the satisfaction of nailing it in one shot is something else! To give it that attraction-like feel, it’s a good idea to incorporate ideas like moving the targets or having the participants themselves move around.

You could even have someone play the role of the target.

The nice thing about water guns is that they won’t cause injuries even if you get hit.

If you prepare some prizes, it’ll get even more exciting.

Real Werewolf

[Billions of Yen!?] We played a “real-life Werewolf” game in a mega-mansion and it was seriously way too fun lol

Real Werewolf

I think many people have played Werewolf using cards or smartphone apps.

But this time, I’m introducing a real-life Werewolf game where each player actually goes to a separate room to play.

You set up a common meeting room and individual rooms for each player, and after each meeting, the players return to their own rooms.

The werewolves go to the rooms of the villagers they plan to attack, which makes it feel much more immersive than using cards or an app! At a school festival, it would be exciting to use different classrooms or club rooms to play!

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.

Violently Shaking Seesaw

Tsukuba-affiliated High School 2013 Cultural Festival, Class 2-4: Super Shaky Seesaw

Violently Shaking Seesaw

When it comes to attractions you can make as a class, a wildly wobbly seesaw might be just the thing.

Unlike the ones in parks, a handmade version has a DIY feel that doubles the rocking and delivers extra thrills.

It’s perfect for anyone who wants to create a fun, exciting space.

The idea of building a seesaw as a cultural festival exhibit isn’t something most people think of, so it will really stand out.

It will naturally draw a crowd and is sure to get everyone hyped.

Work together as a class to offer both a fun atmosphere and a dose of thrill.
