Haven’t you seen it on TV comedy shows? You line up various objects on a table and use them to create a story—it’s no exaggeration to say you build a world on the spot—known as “mono-boke” (prop-based gags).

How about giving it a go using things in the classroom—balls, cleaning tools, or everyone’s own stationery? Even if you’re not confident, an off-the-cuff attempt might turn into a legendary hit!
