[School Festival] Ranking of Popular Booth Ideas (81–90)
warabi mochi (bracken-starch jelly dessert)85rank/position
Cold treats are hugely popular in warm and hot seasons.
How about warabi mochi as a slightly unusual option that’s neither shaved ice nor ice cream? Basically, warabi mochi is made just by heating warabi starch, sugar, and water—simple enough even for people who don’t usually cook.
If you sell it in cups, it’s great for eating on the go.
Creating a warabi mochi drink in the style of bubble tea could also become a hit.
Try the trendy “drinkable warabi mochi,” too.
Selling it as a set with chilled, robust tea might be a great idea!
Strikeout86rank/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!
Nintama Rantarō87rank/position
The humor- and energy-filled world of Ninjutsu Academy brings brightness and laughter to the cultural festival stage.
With many characters—including uniquely quirky students and teachers—it’s easy to assign roles even in large classes, making it a performance where everyone can stand out.
Slapstick antics and chase scenes allow for action and prop-based staging that keeps the audience engaged.
Period-style costumes and backdrops look great, and the handmade touches are part of the charm.
With the familiar theme of ninjas, it becomes a lively, crowd-pleasing play that everyone can enjoy.
cheese ball88rank/position
Cheese balls with cheese wrapped inside the dough—the stretchy, gooey pull is perfect for Instagram! Using pancake mix for the dough makes them easy to whip up, which is another plus.
In addition to melty cheese, they’re stuffed with string cheese that stretches beautifully when heated.
Coat them in crushed cornflakes before frying, and you’ll get irresistibly crispy outsides with a gooey, melty center—delicious cheese balls are ready to enjoy!
Virtual roller coaster89rank/position
You might want to try a roller coaster, but it can be difficult due to space or rules.
In such cases, we recommend trying a virtual roller coaster.
A virtual roller coaster is an attraction where you sit in a moving seat and watch point-of-view footage as if you were riding a real coaster.
You’re not actually moving, but you can experience the sensation of speeding along at high velocity.
Try adding touches that engage the senses—like setting up a fan for wind—to make it even more immersive.
Authentic roller coaster “Space Travel”90rank/position
If you’re going to build a roller coaster, why not aim for a full-fledged one? This time, we’re introducing an idea with the theme of “space travel.” The first important step is deciding the course.
Talk carefully with your teachers and make decisions while considering various factors: making the most of the limited classroom space, balancing fun and safety, and how much material you will use or can use.
Once the course is set, adding effects like lighting and smoke will bring it closer to a space-like atmosphere.
The work will be tough, but the memories of creating it together will surely be a lifelong treasure.

Puzzle solving91rank/position
A kind of puzzle that’s a little different from a quiz: a “mystery-solving” game.
It’s been popular lately on TV variety shows and YouTube.
You use the hints you’re given to figure out the answer—like a quiz, but a step more difficult, with the difficulty level raised.
It’s fun to get together in a classroom and solve puzzles, but if you make use of the school building—solve one mystery to reveal the next location, then go there to find a new puzzle, and so on as you level up—it gets really exciting.
It’s also great fun to tackle in groups while pooling your wits.
