[Christmas] Ranking of Popular Skits/Acts for Entertainment (41–50)
Fun for kids and adults! Balloon Battle43rank/position
Here’s a game called “Balloon Battle” that uses long balloons and round balloons.
Prepare one long balloon for each participant.
After inflating the balloons, each participant holds a long balloon, and at the start signal, they pass the round balloon to the opponent.
The rule is that you can’t use your hands—you must pass using the long balloon.
Balloons are light, and if you misjudge your strength, they’ll drift away.
If you drop the balloon, you lose, so be careful when passing.
The game is basically played by two people, but it could also be fun as a team relay.
Pinecone Tree44rank/position
Here’s an idea for making a Christmas tree using pinecones you picked up on a fun walk.
Since you’ll turn the pinecone into a tree, paint it green.
If you add some white paint here and there, it will look like a snow-covered tree.
Then just decorate it with mini ornaments or beads and you’re done.
Placing a star on top will make it look even more like a Christmas tree.
If the pinecone tends to tip over, attach a base underneath that looks like a flowerpot to keep it stable.
funny clapping45rank/position
With a bit of creativity, you can make people laugh using just clapping.
“Funny clapping” is a performance I’d love for you to try during recreational activities.
When there’s an event like a Christmas party, staff members need to step up as entertainers, right? You may want to make people laugh but feel that one-liner jokes are difficult.
In that case, try clapping.
Tell everyone, “While I’m clapping, please clap along with me.” Then start clapping, suddenly stop, and try to catch participants off guard! The more chaotic it gets, the funnier it is!
Easy magic that pops out of the box46rank/position
A glove puppet with a felt face chats happily and asks, “What do you think is inside this box?” When everyone joins together to shout, “Merry Christmas!” cakes and ghosts pop out of the box, sending the venue into a frenzy.
There are plenty of other fun tricks too, like a teleportation magic act using two boxes and Santa appearing from a chimney-shaped box.
When everyone sings “Awatenbō no Santa Claus” together, smiles and singing spread throughout the hall.
It’s a heartwarming stage show that proves how much fun you can create with familiar, everyday materials.
glass harp47rank/position
The glass harp is a playing technique where you make music by rubbing the rims of water-filled glasses.
Since beautiful tones emerge from everyday objects, first-time viewers are often quite surprised.
You can perform solo, but it also works with multiple people, making powerful group performances a great option.
Because the sound produced is simple, choosing well-known tunes makes it easier for listeners to connect.
It’s important to prepare in advance by adjusting the water levels so the pitches are accurate and memorizing where each note is placed.
Pom-poms are so cute! How to make a Christmas tree48rank/position
The paper plate Christmas tree is a charming craft featuring adorable pom-poms.
Cut a paper plate in half, fold it into a triangle, and secure it with tape to create the tree shape.
Attach colorful pom-poms, and finish with a ribbon on top.
The fluffy texture is popular with kids, and each pom-pom adds to a bright, colorful look.
Because it’s made from a paper plate, it’s lightweight and perfect for decorating walls or windows.
Children can choose their favorite colors as they craft, making it easy to show their individuality.
Using simple materials, this idea results in a festive, eye-catching tree that’s fun to make and display.
How to make a cute pom-pom Christmas tree49rank/position
Let’s make a cute Christmas tree using decoration balls.
Prepare 25 decoration balls in your favorite colors, floral/arranging wire, origami paper, and decorative parts.
First, separate the balls into groups of 9, 7, 5, 3, and 1.
Thread each group onto wire, twist to secure, and form pom-pom rings.
For the single ball, insert a U-shaped bent piece of wire.
Roll the origami paper into a cone to create the base, then slide on and stack the rings in order from largest to smallest.
Finally, insert the single decoration ball at the top and decorate to finish.
