[Birthday] Popular Entertainment/Performance Ideas Ranking (1–10)
message board (with group messages), group card, or collective autograph8rank/position
A message board filled with notes from all the students might be the best possible birthday present for a teacher.
Because the words of thanks and congratulations remain on a shikishi board, the teacher will surely want to look back on it again and again at home or in the staff room.
All you need is a board and some pens to get started, but if you’re going to do it, adding decorations or illustrations is highly recommended to give it an even more handmade feel.
It’s a gift that lets the teacher feel the bond with the students—things that are usually too embarrassing to say can be written down precisely because they’re in writing.
paper chest9rank/position

Here’s an idea for a paper-crafted chest! In the world of Minecraft, you can make a chest out of wood to store materials you can’t carry around.
If you play the game, you’ll probably make this chest early on.
So for a birthday, how about making a paper chest as a gift? You can download the template, cut it out with a craft knife, and assemble it according to the instructions.
If you print it larger and use thick paper or cardstock, it could work as a small storage box!
Sweets cake10rank/position

Ever since we were kids, we celebrated birthdays by putting candles on a cake, right? It was the kind of event that stirred a child’s heart and filled you with excitement.
This time, I’m introducing a candy cake made by arranging sweets.
It looks gorgeous, has a playful touch, and will surely be appreciated as a unique birthday gift.
Combine lunch packs to resemble a decorated cake, then simply attach your favorite candies and flowers around it.
And just like that, you’ve got an adorable candy cake!

Piñata11rank/position

When it comes to activities that liven up a birthday party, how about a piñata? You fill a cute figure made from colorful paper with candy and small toys.
The moment it’s struck and breaks open, children’s smiles spread as the treats burst out.
Both adults and kids can enjoy it together, so it’s sure to raise the excitement in the venue.
Plus, you can even make one yourself.
Why not prepare a piñata full of originality and create some special memories? Be sure to check it out as an activity that will bring smiles to everyone’s faces.
What’s inside the box?12rank/position

“What’s in the Box?” is a game where holes are made on both sides of a box so you can put your hands in and guess what’s inside using only your sense of touch.
The front of the box is visible from the outside, so it’s fun even just to watch.
The birthday kids can, of course, be the ones to put their hands in, but it’s also great if the teacher demonstrates.
If the teacher is the one taking the challenge, try putting in items that add a little suspense.
If you have the birthday child do it, be mindful of kids who might be scared and plan the event so it can proceed even if they choose not to participate.
keychain13rank/position
Keychains are a popular gift that you can give casually.
Lately, acrylic keychains featuring popular characters, anime, and idols have also become trendy—people carry them around and take photos with them when they go out.
With the character boom, lots of kids probably have keychains of their favorite characters.
Make sure to check what they already have so you don’t end up giving the same one! Of course you can attach them to a bag, but you can also put them on a pouch, keys, or even game devices.
Herbarium ballpoint pen14rank/position

Would you like to try making a cute herbarium ballpoint pen by hand? This one is made by placing shrink-plastic parts and herbarium oil inside a craft ballpoint pen.
Most of the materials, including the craft pen, can be found at 100-yen shops.
You can draw on the shrink plastic with a pen, but recently there are inkjet-printable sheets available, so it’s also recommended to print motifs your friends like and use those.
After baking the shrink plastic in a toaster, harden it with resin, then place it inside the pen together with the herbarium oil.
Seal the cap while letting the air escape, and you’re done!
