Attraction Ideas for a School Festival You Can Make Because You’re a High Schooler!? (41–50)
Whac-A-Mole
How about planning the classic whack-a-mole game for your school festival? It’s a simple game where you hit moles popping out of holes, but it’s so fun that both kids and adults can’t help getting absorbed.
The ones at arcades move automatically, but a manual version isn’t that hard to make.
Drill holes in some wood, decorate it, and use plastic bottles as stand-ins for the moles, popping them in and out.
Give participants toy hammers and let them have fun whacking the moles.

Super Mario’s Room
https://www.tiktok.com/@akikusatandai/video/7313432343639903506That beloved character adored worldwide appears in the classroom! Here are ideas for a Super Mario-themed room.
The Super Mario series is an action game within the Mario franchise released by Nintendo.
How about transforming your usual study classroom into a Super Mario room? With pop and cute color combinations, plus familiar in-game elements like warp pipes and question blocks made from cardboard, it would make for some very photo-worthy setups!
Virtual roller coaster
You might want to try a roller coaster, but it can be difficult due to space or rules.
In such cases, we recommend trying a virtual roller coaster.
A virtual roller coaster is an attraction where you sit in a moving seat and watch point-of-view footage as if you were riding a real coaster.
You’re not actually moving, but you can experience the sensation of speeding along at high velocity.
Try adding touches that engage the senses—like setting up a fan for wind—to make it even more immersive.
Hero attraction
How about a classic hero attraction like the ones you see at amusement parks? You know, the so-called “sentai” shows.
You could rent famous characters or create your own.
If you make your own, designing an original school hero squad is sure to get people talking.
Face paint
Face painting, familiar at places like Disney Resorts and USJ! It’s the perfect attraction to make the most of a single day at a school festival.
There are options where you actually paint with a brush, as well as simple sticker-type designs you can just apply.
If you’re doing hand-painted designs, you can rely on the art club or anyone good at drawing.
Why not include school-specific characters, trending characters, or stylish patterns as a way to create fun memories?
bouldering
Bouldering is gaining popularity, especially among women, as a new sport.
Because it’s popular with young people, it’s also a great option for a cultural festival or school festival attraction.
If you’re going to offer it as an attraction, how about building your own climbing wall? The preparation is quite demanding, but if you can pull it off, I think you can expect a large turnout.
Self-made Mini 4WD course
When it comes to what boys love, Mini 4WD racing cars are a strong contender.
Cars are a timeless passion for men, after all.
How about making your own Mini 4WD track? Just building a course can spark the imagination.
It’s highly recommended for boys’ schools or anyone targeting young children.
You can make the track out of cardboard, so materials are easy to get.
It’s not very difficult either, making it suitable for those who want to create a handmade attraction but feel that complex projects are a bit much.
Since it’s DIY, the fun part is that you can design as many types of tracks as you like.
Let’s create a one-of-a-kind course in the world.
