[Christmas] Popular Entertainment/Performance Ideas Ranking (51–60)
Santa Claus57rank/position
@poccle Easy! How to fold an origami Santa Claus 🎄Origami#SantaTranslationProductionworkChildcareNursery teacher / Childcare worker#Nursery school#KindergartenChristmas crafts#Christmas#ParentingMom#origami#santaclaus
♬ Christmas song “Let’s decorate” – 3KTrack
Let’s make Santa Claus out of origami, a symbol of Christmas.
First, fold the paper into a triangle, crease it well, then unfold it.
Rotate the paper so the crease runs vertically, and fold the bottom edge up to meet the two crease lines.
Fold the bottom corner up to the top corner, flip the paper over, and fold the top corner down to the bottom edge.
Flip it over again, and fold both sides inward so they don’t stick out beyond the triangle.
Your Santa Claus is complete! It will look even cuter if you add some variations, like making layered beard folds or bending the hat.
Cute mini Christmas tree58rank/position

Let’s make a mini tree that’s small and easy to display.
You’ll need a pine cone, decorative parts, paint, and glue.
First, paint the pine cone in your tree color.
If you paint the whole cone green and then add white just to the tips, you can create the look of snow on the tree.
After that, use glue to attach the decorations, and you’re done.
Use any parts you like—decorative balls, beads, pipe cleaners, and more—to finish your tree beautifully.
Do it right away! Epicenter game59rank/position

I’m going to introduce a “Shingenchi” game that everyone can get excited about.
First, choose one person to be the Oni (it).
The Oni’s job is to figure out who the Shingenchi is.
One other member becomes the Shingenchi and performs various movements while trying not to be noticed by the Oni.
The remaining members should imitate the Shingenchi’s movements—mixing in other motions as well—so the Oni can’t tell who the real Shingenchi is.
The Oni tries to guess who the Shingenchi is.
The more players you have, the more challenging it may become.
Give it a try!
Bomb game60rank/position

Here’s a recommended party game that even toddlers can enjoy: the “Bomb Game”! Have everyone sit in a circle and pass a ball to the person next to them while music is playing.
When the music stops, the person holding the ball is out! If you’re out three times, you get a penalty.
For a Christmas version, you could use an ornament instead of a ball, and play Christmas songs that kids love.
The rules are simple, so people of different ages can enjoy it together.
Give it a try!
[Christmas] Ranking of Popular Skits/Performances for Entertainment Segments (61–70)
Karaoke Contest61rank/position

Back when today’s seniors were in their youth, I don’t think karaoke boxes like the ones we have now existed yet.
If people wanted to sing together, they probably relied on so-called sing-along cafés or the “8-track” karaoke machines in snack bars.
Some might never have sung in front of others at all.
A casual, in-house karaoke party would let everyone enjoy singing without worrying about those around them.
If you’re shy about singing solo, forming a group and singing children’s songs could be a good option! Raising your voice is said to be good for your health, so it’s a plan that kills two birds with one stone.
Small prizes would make it even more fun.
Curling game62rank/position

This is a curling-themed game where you slide “stones” across a surface, just like throwing stones on ice.
Use a field with Christmas motifs such as trees, and aim for the points drawn on it by flicking stones made from plastic bottle caps.
Create the field illustration by attaching construction paper, but since the edges of the paper can catch the stones if they lift up, it’s recommended to place a clear sheet over everything at the end to smooth out any steps.
If the bottle-cap stones don’t slide well, putting a marble inside adds weight and makes them easier to control.
Experiment with the field size and point layout, and let players enjoy focusing on their shots, adjusting their strength, and strategizing against their opponents.
Glass tile-style keychain63rank/position

How about making a keychain with glass-tile-like transparency? Here’s an item you can enjoy by holding it up to the light or shining a lamp through it.
Stick transparent origami paper onto both sides of double-sided tape, then cut it into small pieces so the parts can move around inside the case.
Put the cut pieces into a keychain kit you can buy at a 100-yen shop and add beads or charms.
Finally, close the kit’s lid to finish.
It’s also recommended to let kids choose the parts and add decorations like Santa or snow to give it a Christmas feel.
