[School Festival] Ranking of Popular Booth Ideas (71–80)
Impersonation contest78rank/position
If there are some funny performances, the school festival will be even more exciting.
So, I’d like to propose a celebrity impersonation contest.
Like the ones you often see on variety shows, let’s make it so that anyone who wants to can perform freely.
For those who are unsure what to imitate, well-known characters or celebrities are recommended.
It’s easier for people to get the joke, and they’ll be more likely to laugh.
Alternatively, choosing someone familiar that everyone knows can also work well.
In This Corner of the World79rank/position
In This Corner of the World, which drew attention when it was adapted into a musical in 2024.
It originally began as a manga and was later made into a TV drama and an animated film.
Set in Kure, Hiroshima Prefecture, and centered on the theme of war, it’s a recommended piece when you want to stage a powerful production that can move audiences.
Footage of the musical’s stage production has been uploaded to video sites, so why not use those as references and craft your performance with care?
Strikeout80rank/position
Here, we introduce “Strikeout,” a surefire hit for the game corner at a school festival.
The rules are simple: throw a ball at the target and try to hit the numbered panels.
It’s simple, but it really gets the crowd going! Hitting the number you’re aiming for is trickier than you’d think, so playing in teams makes it even more fun—highly recommended.
It’s also great because even those who aren’t athletic can join in easily.
Be sure to include it in your classroom events at the festival!

Trick Art Exhibition81rank/position
Trick art lets you have fun by using optical illusions, doesn’t it? You can find it in many tourist spots, so many of you have probably experienced it.
How about featuring trick art at your school festival? For example, a trick-art piece of a person peeking through a hole in the wall can be drawn without requiring advanced techniques! The key when drawing is to make the contrast between the lit areas and the shadows clear.
Rather than just exhibiting it, setting up a photo spot where visitors can take pictures with the trick art could help everyone get excited together.
Snow White82rank/position
Snow White, one of the famous Grimm’s Fairy Tales.
I’m sure you all know the story in which the prince saves Snow White after she eats a poisoned apple and loses her life due to the queen’s scheme.
The highlight of this play is the appearance of the seven dwarfs, which allows for seven roles to be cast.
With so many characters, you can solve the dilemma of “which child should play which part,” while giving each student a chance to shine.
And if you take that idea further, you don’t have to stick to the number seven—you can even adapt it to match the number of students in your class.
Violently Shaking Seesaw83rank/position
When it comes to attractions you can make as a class, a wildly wobbly seesaw might be just the thing.
Unlike the ones in parks, a handmade version has a DIY feel that doubles the rocking and delivers extra thrills.
It’s perfect for anyone who wants to create a fun, exciting space.
The idea of building a seesaw as a cultural festival exhibit isn’t something most people think of, so it will really stand out.
It will naturally draw a crowd and is sure to get everyone hyped.
Work together as a class to offer both a fun atmosphere and a dose of thrill.
Chalkboard Art84rank/position
One classroom display idea I highly recommend is chalkboard art.
Every spring, elaborate chalkboard illustrations featuring welcome and farewell messages for entrance and graduation ceremonies draw attention, and many people have probably seen them on social media.
So, as part of your class display, try creating a large illustration on the chalkboard.
The drawing process is important, but the conceptual part—what to draw and how to depict it—is just as crucial.
Have the students who are good at drawing take the lead, and work together to complete it.
