[Birthday] Ranking of Popular Skits/Acts for Entertainment (11–20)

Handmade album15rank/position

When it comes to birthday gifts that unexpectedly make people happy, an album might be at the top of the list.

It feels great to know someone treasures their memories with you.

And rather than a simple album where you just stick photos in, ones with playful features—like photos that slide out when you pull a tab, or a base that turns like a Ferris wheel—tend to delight people even more.

It does take time to make, but if you’re thinking of giving a heartfelt present, definitely try creating one using these ideas as inspiration.

Flowers have a soothing effect on those who look at them.

They’re especially appreciated as gifts.

For high schoolers, though, some may not know how to display fresh flowers when they receive them.

That’s when dried flowers come in handy.

The dried flower glass dome we’re introducing today is an item that adds a touch of elegance just by placing it in your room.

It’s also a great idea to prepare flowers that bloom around your friend’s birthday and arrange them yourself to make a personalized gift.

[DIY⑩] I tried making a stylish antique-style light using 100-yen shop items! Industrial #DAISO
light

Let’s make an antique-style light using a bulb light, a birdcage, and a wooden measuring box (masu)! First, drill a hole in the bottom of the masu that’s the same diameter as the fitting at the base of the bulb light.

Once the hole is made, stain the wood using a water-based varnish.

Cut off the top of the birdcage, turn it upside down, insert the bulb light, and secure it into the hole in the masu, which will serve as the base.

That completes your handmade light! When you switch it on, the birdcage’s shadow spreads beautifully, creating a great atmosphere.

It’s also nice that you can make it entirely with items from a 100-yen shop.

Presents equal to your age18rank/position

Presents equal to your age

A surprise is only successful when it goes far beyond what the recipient imagines.

So, for a friend’s birthday, prepare as many gifts as their age.

They might anticipate getting a present, but they probably won’t imagine receiving that many.

Ask close friends, classmates, or club members to join in, have everyone bring a gift, and give them all at the same time—the surprise will be even bigger.

It’s even better if everyone coordinates beforehand to avoid duplicate gifts.

Give it a try and make your friend truly happy!

A present in a coin locker19rank/position

A present in a coin locker

When you’re trying to surprise a friend with a gift, walking around with a paper bag makes it pretty obvious and kind of ruins the surprise, right? It won’t be much of a surprise to begin with.

That’s where coin lockers come in handy! How about putting the present in a coin locker as a surprise? Then give your friend the key, make up a reason like “Could you grab my stuff?” and have them open it.

If you do a simple decoration inside the locker, it will feel even more surprising.

Panel Theater [On Your Birthday] Listen, watch, and sing along♪ Great for practice too!
Panel theater

A panel theater where a fun story unfolds on a white board.

Draw the pictures needed for the story, cut them out, and prepare them in advance.

Then, as you tell the story, stick the pictures onto the panel and peel them off as needed.

For the drawings, use P-paper, which is designed for panel theater, and use panel cloth for the board.

To create a festive atmosphere, you can choose themes like a birthday party with a cake appearing, or a party-themed story.

Of course, using picture books or traditional folktales as material is also fine.

Celebrate the children with a colorful, fun story!

[Daycare/Kindergarten] Let’s Make a Cake 🎂 Interactive Puppet Show (Paper Theater) — Perfect for Birthday Parties

How about incorporating a paper puppet show (peep show) into the birthday party program? Many of you may already make these for everyday childcare activities.

For a birthday party, a paper puppet show that builds excitement—like one themed around the process of making a cake—is recommended.

Adjust the size of the puppets to match the scale of the party.

It’s also important to get creative with the script so you can enjoy lively interactions with the children.

Let’s make it a special birthday party together.
