[School Festival] Ranking of Popular Booth Ideas (21–30)
Aladdin22rank/position
Aladdin, Disney’s hugely popular animated film that was also adapted into live action.
It’s a love story between the poor Aladdin and Princess Jasmine of the palace, and it’s memorable for its dream-filled magical world with the magic lamp and flying carpet.
You might think you’d like to try it, but that the props would be a lot of work because the world is overflowing with magic, right? If you keep the props to a minimum and project imagery on a screen that evokes the world of Aladdin for the background, you can easily convey the atmosphere at a glance.
Also, for the magic carpet, which is central to the story, you can combine tables and place a carpet on top to create the illusion of it flying!
Takoyaki23rank/position
Takoyaki is a staple of stalls at festival fairs.
Because they’re bite-sized and easy to pop in your mouth, they’re also very popular at school festivals.
Even though it’s called “octopus balls,” it’s fun to offer a variety of fillings like cheese, sausage, or mochi.
You can also make great memories by adding quirky flavors for sweets or even forpenalty-game versions.
With takoyaki mix, water, and eggs, the batter is easy to make, so if you’re thinking of serving food, definitely consider it as an option.
merry-go-round24rank/position
If you want to set up an attraction in the classroom, how about a merry-go-round? Build a frame with pipes, insert it into the base, and attach swings.
After that, all you need to do is spin it by hand! The person turning it will need a bit of stamina, and they might get dizzy if they keep doing it.
Make a few teams and take turns spinning it.
If you darken the room and add lighting and background music, it will feel even more like a real attraction!
Jungle Cruise25rank/position
Jungle Cruise is a popular classic attraction at Disneyland.
You ride a boat through the jungle with the skipper’s commentary, encountering nature and various animals, which makes it a hit with all generations.
While turning the entire classroom into a jungle is a must, the skipper’s signature energy and natural delivery also shape the world-building, so choosing the right members is crucial.
It’s an idea that high schoolers, with their unique drive and sensibilities, can bring to life—and it’s sure to delight your guests.
yakisoba (fried noodles)26rank/position
When it comes to festival food stalls, yakisoba is a classic, right? Many of you have probably made it for a school festival.
If you’re aiming to cook delicious yakisoba with a touch of originality that stands out from the rest, this is a must-see! The key is to use store-bought bagged noodles and thinly sliced shabu-shabu pork.
If you want the vegetables to stay crisp, the basic rule is to stir-fry the harder ones first.
Personally, I find that referring to a professional recipe really elevates the flavor, so be sure to check out the videos for guidance!
Star Label27rank/position
You can actually enjoy the Star Tours attraction from Tokyo Disneyland at a school festival—and it’s handmade! Arrange eight rubber tires in a rectangle, place a board on top, and set folding chairs for seats.
Enclose the setup with walls to complete the Star Tours cabin! Build a screen at the front and project your own homemade Star Tours footage onto it.
To simulate the motions of the real attraction, students acting as staff should move the cabin in different directions in sync with the video.
Create your own music and narration too, and you’ll have a fully fledged, immersive, ultra-realistic attraction!
choco banana28rank/position
If you want to make sweets that are simple and look cute, chocolate-covered bananas are a great choice.
The standard ones you often see at festivals are nice, but adding slightly unusual toppings will make them feel much more original.
That said, there are a few tricks to making delicious choco-bananas.
First, use milk chocolate.
Then, when melting the chocolate, keep the temperature around 28°C (82°F).
Doing so will give it a crisp snap and a smooth mouthfeel.
