[School Festival] Ideas for Handmade Coffee Cups

10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.

During my student years at Kyoto College of Science and Technology, I studied a wide range of fields including sound, lighting, and video technology, building a foundation in comprehensive stage production and creative expression. After graduation, I joined a music production company, where I still work, consistently building experience in production and engaging in a variety of music-centered tasks. Currently, I mainly handle articles for children, drawing on what I’ve learned about parenting and what I feel and discover through daily interactions with my kids. I hope my work can be of help to you, even in a small way!

At school festivals, creating attractions like those in amusement and theme parks is really popular.

In this article, we’ll introduce the “teacup ride,” which is right up there with roller coasters and carousels in popularity.

The common approach is to build an axis and cups and spin them manually, but there are also motorized teacup rides.

It doesn’t end with assembly—by painting them cutely and adding creative lighting, you can make them feel even more like a real attraction.

Work together with everyone and try building a popular attraction!

Just like outer space! Here are some coffee cup ride ideas with a strong focus on worldbuilding.

If you’re making a coffee cup ride for a school festival, many of you probably want to nail the concept, right? Try creating the atmosphere even before people enter the classroom where the ride is set up.

Design the hallway with a silver color scheme, and highlight it with decorative lights placed here and there.

Once the attraction begins, the twinkling lights shining like stars in the dark space make it truly captivating.

Coffee cups for large groups

Super Coffee Cup Day 1

Coffee cups for large groups

Introducing the “Super Coffee Cup”: an idea for an extra-large coffee cup ride that can accommodate many people.

This concept is ideal for those who want to run a coffee cup attraction.

When we think of coffee cup rides at school festivals, they’re often held indoors, such as in classrooms.

However, the key feature of this coffee cup is its large-scale setup installed outdoors to carry a large number of riders.

If the environment and other conditions are right, be sure to give it a try.

Tsukuba University Senior High School cultural festival unveils a convention-defying ‘motorized coffee cup’—a tenacious creation that overcame budget shortfalls.

If your school focuses on science and engineering, why not take on the challenge of building a seriously authentic motorized coffee cup ride? The base is powered, while the cup people sit in is manual—just like the ones at amusement parks.

You can use a bicycle chain and similar parts to build the drive mechanism.

It’ll probably take quite a bit of time to make, but that’s exactly why the sense of accomplishment when it’s finished will be incredible.

Visitors are bound to love it, too.

If you’re thinking, “We want to stand out from other schools,” this is your chance to take the first step!

2-cup ver.

Recommended for classes with small budgets for the school festival! Here are ideas for a 2-cup version.

At many schools, each class has a set budget for the festival, right? If you want to create a teacup ride within a fixed budget, this idea is for you.

By using just two teacups, you can likely reduce material costs.

In exchange, add lights to the teacups and put effort into decorating the classroom to create a great atmosphere!

The unique fully private design is sure to catch attention! Here’s an idea for separated coffee cups.

When it comes to coffee cup rides made for school festivals, many designs string together two to four cups.
