Unlike typical maid cafés, at school festivals you might see students with boyish hairstyles fully embracing the maid role based on club themes or personal tastes.
These are style ideas you can use as a reference in those situations.
By using headbands like cat or rabbit ears, you can create a lovely finish without any hair styling.
Definitely give them a try!

Chemistry Experiment Classroom
How about gathering some of the most visually striking chemistry experiments to spark interest in the subject of chemistry? Among them, flame tests are especially recommended—the mysterious colors of the flames catch the eye and naturally raise the question of why those colors appear.
It’s also important to clearly explain why the phenomenon occurs, so that students become interested in the lesson and can remember it as useful trivia.
Since visually flashy experiments can sometimes be dangerous, it’s best to explain the plan to a teacher and have them supervise.
Kicking Sniper
https://www.tiktok.com/@mizuren212928/video/7117238735250525441Do you know Kicking Sniper? Kicking Sniper is a game featured on the variety show “VS Arashi.” Players kick multiple balls to knock down stacked blocks that move along a belt.
It requires considerable focus and technique, so recreating it is sure to be a hit.
If you’re recreating it in a classroom, consider making a manually operated belt and stacking paper cups on it.
For the balls, look for ones with a moderate softness.
Honey Hunt
https://www.tiktok.com/@rx8_/video/6668091911431032066If you’re thinking about recreating an amusement park attraction, we recommend giving it a Honey Hunt-like finish.
Honey Hunt is an attraction at Disneyland themed around the world of Winnie the Pooh.
Using it as a reference could help you create an attraction that people of all ages can enjoy.
Capturing distinctive elements—like the smell of honey and the appearance of cheerful characters—will increase the authenticity.
It also sounds fun to add your own original touches.
ridiculously cool video
With a smartphone, you can even make a movie, right? So how about the whole class making a “ridiculously cool” video and holding a screening! Recreate a scene from a film, perfectly copy a popular commercial—make something a little silly but stylish.
If you insert clips of class memories between segments, it can double as a class keepsake video! Use video editing apps, carefully select the BGM, and create a one-of-a-kind youth video!
fashion show
At the local commercial high school, there’s time set aside to study clothing, and it’s become a tradition to showcase wedding dresses made in class at the school festival.
Hosting a fashion show with outfits of everyone’s choosing is glamorous and fun.
Handmade clothes are great, and curated looks with store-bought pieces are just as welcome—once the runway, lighting, and stylish BGM are set, it feels like a stage in Milan! You could get creative with styling battles where participants mix and match the same garments, or team competitions where groups walk the runway together.
It’s the kind of event you’d definitely want to hold in a big gymnasium!
Rolling Coin Tower
https://www.tiktok.com/@the.bet_/video/7385006756537044241Rolling Coin Tower is a signature game from variety shows—a thrilling face-off where players take turns stacking coins.
The rules are simple: stack coins by color in order, and if you topple the tower, you lose.
It’s packed with tension, and the mind games to provoke your opponent’s mistakes are part of the fun.
As the tower grows taller, you’ll be on the edge of your seat, and it’s a great test of teamwork with your friends.
It’s exciting for spectators too.
Give it a try at your school festival!
