Darts made with paper plates and masking tape

Goodbye Declaration – Chinozo
Let me introduce darts, a surefire hit for livening up your school festival casino games.
Get some paper plates and masking tape, and let’s make it! Stick the masking tape onto the paper plate to form a spiderweb pattern.
When attaching the tape, place it with the adhesive side facing outward.
For the darts, crumple tissue paper into a ball and wrap it tightly with masking tape to make it a slightly firm ball.
Once it’s finished, stick the target on the wall and have fun playing!
A slot machine that moves with twine and stops with a magnet
One of the classic casino games is the slot machine.
You can find them in many arcades, too.
If there were a slot machine at a school festival, people would probably think, “I want to try it!” It’s known for its spinning reels, but it seems difficult to make one yourself, right? Actually, you can build one using craft paper, twine, and a hot glue gun.
You can probably get everything at a 100-yen shop.
The reels are powered by the twine.
Playing with a slot machine is fun, but a handmade slot machine would likely spark even more excitement.
Slot machine made of cardboard
How about handcrafting a slot machine that’s sure to be a hit at the school festival? The mechanism is a bit complex, but by understanding it as you build, you’ll likely learn how power transmission works too.
To make the reels stop precisely on the symbols, the inner drum contains marbles and corrugated cardboard—impressively detailed craftsmanship.
The spinner uses things like the core from a roll of plastic wrap.
Aside from that, most of the materials are just cardboard.
It’s a recommended project for crafty, handy people.
Handmade billiards table
How about livening up your school festival with a handmade billiards table? It’s said that the world’s first billiards table was made for Louis XI in 1469.
I had no idea it was such a historic sport—how surprising! For the table, use materials like plywood and 2×4 lumber.
If you connect the sections with hinges, you can fold it in half for easy storage.
For the balls, buy round wooden pieces, paint them, and write the numbers on them.
Set a tea strainer or mesh under the pocket openings to catch the balls.
Once you cover the entire surface with felt, it’s complete.
Handmade roulette
Some classes might set up booths offering a casino experience at school festivals.
Here’s how to make a roulette wheel that could come in handy for that.
The materials are cardboard and bamboo skewers.
After cutting out the parts with a circle cutter and a utility knife, glue them together with wood glue.
Once you’ve made the rotating inner part and the fixed outer part, insert a bamboo skewer through the inner part.
Finally, make a marble slide.
Drop a marble onto the rotating inner section, and the number is determined by the slot where it lands.
Once you make it, you can keep playing with it, so give it a try!

flash mob
Capture hearts with a surprising twist! Here are some flash mob ideas.
A flash mob is a performance put on without prior notice, like a guerrilla act, to draw attention from those around.
Many flash mobs feature dance or singing, captivating audiences with unexpected moves.
In the video, you can see students in the courtyard joining in one by one, eventually putting on a large-group dance.
A school setting, with so many people, is perfect for this kind of flash mob—why not give it a try?

Make sure to adjust the equipment so your voices are easy to hear.
