CupsNEW!
Cups performed to fun music and a pleasant rhythm is a recommended act that can liven up the entire venue.
In this video, we introduce a cups routine to “Doraemon” sung by Gen Hoshino.
You’ll keep the beat using hand claps and two paper cups.
If you’re doing it with a large group, lining up side by side at long tables makes it easier to stay in sync.
In addition to well-known anime theme songs, you could also use songs that were hits at the sports festival or trending tracks.
Encourage the audience to sing along or clap their hands to get the whole venue excited!
School things everyone can relate to
Impressions are easy because you can do them with just your body, but it takes courage when you worry, “What if it doesn’t land…?” In those moments, how about doing some light impressions—school ‘relatable moments’? Things like that one person every class definitely has, classic event clichés, a teacher’s catchphrases or things they’re likely to say—bundle up those school-related ‘relatables’ and mimic them all at once! The more familiar the material, the bigger the laughs.
This is bad, really bad.Tetsurō Degawa
Tetsurō Degawa’s gag “Yabai yo, yabai yo” (This is bad, this is bad!)—famous for his real reactions and comedy—is sure to be a hit at school! The key to a gag you can use in any school situation is that you can turn whatever’s happening right then into the joke.
Plus, the simple wording makes it easy for friends around you to understand what it means.
Try performing it as a quick one-shot gag at school and liven up the room!
Kendama
If your school has kendama equipment, by all means use it.
While it might have the image of an old-fashioned pastime, it’s actually popular as a sport—there are even world championships.
Check out some videos for reference and pull off some cool tricks.
Start by landing it on the big cup and the small cup!
Memorizing pi
If you’re good with numbers, memorizing pi is definitely something you should try.
It may not be particularly useful for studying, strictly speaking, but it never hurts to know it.
The trick is to use mnemonics or songs.
By the way, the world record is held by someone who has memorized over 80,000 digits.
wotagei
Otagei is a dance with unique choreography performed while holding glow sticks called cyalumes.
These days, there are more and more otaku students, so how about inviting your otaku friends and giving it a try? It looks flashy, making it perfect for livening up the atmosphere.

A coin that passes through
A magic trick you can do with a single coin: the penetrating coin.
The coin appears to pass from the back of the hand down into the palm.
This uses a magic technique called the Muscle Pass—a skill that launches the coin using only the muscles of the palm.
