[Middle School] Cultural Festival Attractions: A roundup of popular exhibits, games, and stage performances

Class T-shirt Contest

[Official] Shizusei High School Class T-Shirt Contest - First-Year Students

At events like school festivals where everyone works together to take on a challenge, class T-shirts that stand in for uniforms are essential—they’re items that let you feel the bond with your teammates.

Let’s focus on the designs of these class T-shirts packed with group personality and compete to see which designs are the most appealing.

Using a runway scene with models as a reference, have participants show off their class T-shirts to the gathered crowd and let them check out the designs.

Since some people might think their own class T-shirt is the best, it’s a good idea to have judges evaluate them fairly.

Real Life Game

I don't want a life like this >< Giant Real-Life Game of Life ☆ himawari-CH

When it comes to The Game of Life, it’s a classic that every child plays at least once.

The board is a path made up of many spaces, and you spin the roulette and move forward by the number you get.

Each space describes an event related to life, and the rule is to follow the instructions on the space where you land as you aim for the goal.

Let’s try creating such a Game of Life in a classroom or similar setting.

Since we’re making it “real” this time, participants will actually move from space to space.

You’re free to write whatever you like on the spaces, so try coming up with fun life-related episodes.

You could even prepare prizes based on the amount of money players have left at the end.

ensemble

Tsutomu Hirashima Best Selection [49] Instrumental Ensemble “African Symphony” (arr. McCoy)

No matter how many ideas you brainstorm, nothing beats the joy of creating something together like an ensemble.

For elementary school students, even just the instruments they use in regular music classes—melodicas, recorders, castanets, and cymbals—are enough to make a beautiful ensemble! Ask students who take piano lessons and teachers who play guitar to join in as well.

Who knows—maybe the principal can play the trumpet? It might also be great to film the preparation and practice process, edit it like a documentary, and screen it.

Diorama Exhibition

[School Festival] Exhibition of Diorama of Roadside Station “Kume no Sato” and Alto in Civic Idemitsu Color Scheme (Okayama Sanyo High School Dress-Up Car Course)

A diorama exhibition that realistically recreates towns and buildings.

Dioramas are made from various materials such as Styrofoam, clay, and plastic.

Some are even paper dioramas made entirely out of paper.

Let’s try creating and displaying dioramas of local landmarks—like castles or roadside stations—from the area where your school is located.

Viewers might lose track of time as they admire the precise, meticulously crafted works on display.

You can build a diorama, run trains through it, light up the buildings, or place model cars.

Coming up with the setting and story of the diorama town also sounds fun.

Woodworking

Super easy! Independent research: Crafts using wood

People today spend a lot of time in the digital world.

Compared to the past, children play less with wooden toys—in fact, they have fewer chances to touch wood at all.

So how about getting them into woodworking? You can adjust the difficulty by grade level, and I think kids will be excited to use carpentry tools they don’t usually encounter, like saws and hammers.

There are plenty of woodworking projects that don’t use nails, too.

Exhibits of less familiar tools like planes and chisels might also feel fresh and intriguing for children!

Independent film screening

School Festival Takigawa High School: Haru, Come to Me (Youth, Come)

Live performances like plays and musicals are of course great, but how about making a film for the school festival? Since you can create it in advance, it will reduce the workload on the day.

If you make school the theme, I think everyone will enjoy it even more.

fashion show

Bandai High School Cultural Festival 2017 / Fashion Show

Hosting a fashion show where everyone wears whatever they like sounds glamorous and fun.

Handmade outfits are great, and styling store-bought clothes works too! Put on those outfits you’ve always wanted to try and strut down the runway in style.

With dazzling lights and trendy background music, anywhere can become a runway! Try remixing the event by holding styling battles to see who can combine different clothes most fashionably, or team competitions to see who can walk the runway the coolest.

It would be fantastic to host it in a large gymnasium!
