Instagram-worthy ideas for a high school cultural festival: photo spots everyone will love

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!”

A photo spot that feels just like a theme park! Here’s a heart-frame idea to try.

It creates an irresistibly cute vibe that makes you want to snap photos and share them on Instagram.

For the backdrop, a sparkling tassel curtain—like those used for K-pop idol birthday decorations—is featured.

The main heart frame is beautifully finished with tissue paper flowers and lights, which is the key point.

It’s perfect for anyone who loves cute aesthetics and would also make a popular photo spot for couples.

Let’s try making one out of cardboard! Here’s an idea for a robot soldier.

It’s an eye-catching idea that will make people want to snap photos and share them.

Let’s make the most of your classroom’s features! Here are some car-frame ideas.

This is a great idea for classes that have windows along the hallway side of the room.

How about decorating the window to look like a car’s windshield? You can add originality to the license plate by incorporating your school’s traits or your class’s unique features.

Another nice touch is cute decorations like heart-shaped balloons and hanging ornaments.

When taking photos, hold a handmade steering wheel to capture the memories!

Colorful and cute! Here are some ideas for paper balls.

Paper balls are decorations made by cutting and pasting paper.

They’re great for decorating classrooms and hallways! The mood changes depending on the color combinations, so you can get creative with arrangements.

You’ll need twenty 5 cm-diameter circles cut from origami paper and some tape.

It’s best to use double-sided colored origami.

If you want to hang them from the ceiling or walls, thread a string or yarn through them.

Mysterious Mirror

Get lost in an unreal world! Here’s an idea for a mysterious mirror.

Normally, with a mirror, light reflects off the surface so you can see your own reflection.

But this mysterious mirror not only prevents you from seeing yourself—it also has a trick that shows someone else on the other side of the mirror.

Visitors are sure to have a blast taking photos with friends and family! When creating the decorations, it’s a good idea to mark where the person being photographed should stand.

Cardboard, which is indispensable for logistics, is also a versatile material used for crafts.

Let’s use cardboard to create decorations for the school festival! There are many kinds of art made from cardboard these days, so why not pick an idea you like and give it a try? You could make small decorations and coordinate them with other items, or create a large, eye-catching sculpture.

Who knows—your decoration itself might even become a popular photo spot!

Wall decoration made with artificial flowers

So-called artificial flowers—now commonly known as artificial flowers—are quite popular these days.

Why not try making a wall hanging with them? Some artificial flowers have a hole on the back so you can thread a string through.

Use those to string together several flowers.

Once you’ve made a few strands, all that’s left is to hang them on the wall.

If you adjust the spacing between the flowers to be even, you’ll get a more refined and stylish look!
