[Non-food] Cultural festival attractions: from classroom exhibits to stage events

Bingo

Let’s liven up the venue with a classic party program: a bingo game.

While the main fun is working your way toward the prizes, the energy and banter of the host and participants are key to boosting excitement.

To raise the overall mood, it might help to plant a few high-energy participants in the crowd.

Since lavish prizes may be difficult in a school festival setting, we recommend preparing handmade prizes such as accessories.

Godly Hands [Summer Festival Vibes!] Someone amazing at candy mold cutting! Festival stall, success, role-play, shopkeeper, pop-up stand, sneak peek

You often see candy molds at festivals and street fairs, but they might have a tasteful, retro appeal if you try them at a school cultural festival.

These days, there are probably many people who’ve never done it, so the novelty might make it popular.

It’s also easy to set up—just buy a set cheaply and prepare some prizes.

Kicking Sniper

The insanely skilled kicking sniper—the Japanese Ederson—that hit 1M views on Instagram

Kicking Sniper: aim for a high score by kicking a ball at moving targets.

It’s a game that was featured on a TV show.

Let’s have players take their shots after lining up their aim on the targets.

Since the targets move, hitting them might be tricky, but when the ball connects, the excitement skyrockets.

To knock the targets down, you’ll need precise kicks and strong focus.

Lay down some cardboard, place the targets on top, and pull them with a string to create moving targets.

It’s a fun game that draws cheers every time a target falls.

Rolling Vikings

♪ background music – VS Arashi – VS Arashi

Korokoro Viking is a popular team-based game from variety shows.

The rules are simple: work together as a team to tilt the platform, roll the ball, and guide it into the goal.

But if you think it’s just about rolling a ball, you’re in for a surprise.

It gets incredibly intense! Timing and teamwork are the keys to victory.

Call out to each other, sync your movements, and the sense of accomplishment when you succeed is unbeatable.

It’s also a great pick for a classroom attraction at a school festival! Definitely give it a try!

Laputa Shooting Range

@kazuyo_dayo

One year ago, we made a Laputa-themed shooting gallery for our school’s cultural festival.#CardboardCraftsCultural Festival#LaputaKazuyo

How about incorporating the world of a famous anime into your school festival game? Imagine a shooting gallery that pays homage to a scene from Studio Ghibli’s Castle in the Sky.

Make Pazu’s big cannon out of cardboard and try to hit the targets.

Using Colonel Muska, made from cardboard, as the target could really liven things up.

It seems Colonel Muska is quite the marksman in the story, too.

It could be fun to include his handgun as well.

By the way, his pistol is said to be the military sidearm adopted by the British Army during World War II.

Rolling Coin Tower

Rolling Coin Tower is a signature game from variety shows—a thrilling face-off where players take turns stacking coins.

The rules are simple: stack coins by color in order, and if you topple the tower, you lose.

It’s packed with tension, and the mind games to provoke your opponent’s mistakes are part of the fun.

As the tower grows taller, you’ll be on the edge of your seat, and it’s a great test of teamwork with your friends.

It’s exciting for spectators too.

Give it a try at your school festival!

We’d like to introduce a handmade mini bowling game you can make with cardboard.

Using cardboard, a light ball, and pins, it’s an easy game anyone can enjoy.

From kids to adults, everyone will have fun aiming for strikes, so it’s also great as a classroom event at a school festival.

If you keep score, you can make it a team competition for even more excitement.

It’s a booth that will bring smiles to both the makers and the participants.

Be sure to use this as a reference and work together with your class to make your school festival a hit!
