Last updated:

To become the most popular kid in class, you need to show off your talents in various ways—like having a great sense of humor, being good at sports, or always getting perfect scores on tests.

But why not aim for popularity by showing off some awesome tricks outside of those areas too? In this article, we introduce party tricks that will liven up your school.

We’ve gathered a wide range—from super easy ones to those you can master with practice—so give them a try and become the star of your class!

Aim to be popular! One-hit gags that will hype up the school (1–10)

Impersonation

For a quick gag, impressions are a timeless classic.

Anyone can learn to do impressions with practice, so give it a try.

When you practice, record yourself with your smartphone—seeing it objectively helps you tell whether it really sounds similar or not, so it’s recommended.

Just like in this video, impressions of manga or anime characters are great, and if you’re doing it at school, impressions of teachers really get the crowd going too.

Impressions that are too subtle for anyone to get

The “too subtle to get across” impersonations that pick out tiny actions and gestures people usually overlook are a great one-shot gag to entertain everyone.

For example, the Asagaya Sisters’ portrayals of quirky characters suggest endless possibilities.

Another idea is mimicking the launch sound of a roller coaster at an amusement park on the verge of closing—once you master it, the laughs are limitless.

That said, seriousness is key: you need to recreate it with meticulous attention to detail.

With impersonations that leverage surprise and fine observational skills, you might just become the center of laughter in your class.

Bubble Dance

The bubble-era dance, which has become a staple of party tricks, is a crowd-pleaser across generations.

You can go all out with the costume and makeup to put on a full performance, or if it’s hard to prepare those, just doing a light version of the dance works too.

If you want to use it as a quick gag, try suddenly turning around and doing the famous opening moves—that surprise timing really hits.

Striking a “cool” pose while you dance is the key to getting laughs.

Elementary school kids who like dancing should definitely give it a try.

Teacher relatable jokes

Do you have any teachers at your school with strong personalities? A classic way to get everyone excited among people at your school or those who know them is teacher “relatable” jokes.

If you practice imitating their clothes, voice, and mannerisms exactly, you’re sure to be a hit.

To pull off this kind of quick skit, it might be important to keep observing people in your daily life.

unprecedented and unrepeatable Sunshine Ikezaki

Sunshine Ikezaki’s signature bit “Kuzen-Zetsugo” (Unprecedented and Unrepeatable) is something both comedy fans and non-fans have probably heard at least once, right? The routine is simple—he just keeps introducing himself—but that self-introduction is hilariously funny! Try performing your own funny self-introduction that starts with “Unprecedented and Unrepeatable” as a quick gag.

It could be a two-birds-one-stone chance to get laughs and let people learn about you.

Ikezaki’s outfit and hairstyle are distinctive too, so if possible, try copying those as well.

rhythm-based comedy bit

5 nostalgic rhythm gags#ComedyComedianRhythm skitNostalgic

Honnō-ji Incident – Explosions

Rhythm-based bits are a staple of one-shot gags.

Here, we’ll introduce five well-known, nostalgic rhythm routines: “Honnoji no Hen,” “Attakaindakara,” “Rassun Gorerai,” “Dancing Fisshon Tribe,” and “Atarimae Taiso.” They all involve using your body, so performing them should be fun.

However, some can’t be done solo, so try those with friends who love comedy.

Many of today’s elementary school kids might not know these routines, so they could actually feel fresh and new.

voice imitation

How about practicing voice impressions and trying one as a quick party trick? You don’t need any props, so with enough nerve you can practice—or even try it for the first time—right on the spot! It’s reassuring to have an impression of some well-known person ready for times like this.

It might even become your go-to routine, something people request with, “Do that voice impression!” Even if it’s not a perfect match, just go for it with the boldness to power through—say their name repeatedly and commit to the bit.

♬ Original song – Somaō Meatball – Somaō Meatball

This is a one-shot gag where you do a parody of Nobodyknows+’s “Kokoro Odoru” and perform a comedic bit.

It’s funny because, during the catchy parts of the lyrics, you say “shinnyō” while using your hands and body to form the shape of the radical shinnyō.

On top of that, connecting it to the kabuki actor Ebizō adds an element of surprise.

If you really evoke a kabuki actor through your expressions and poses, you’ll likely get applause along with laughter.

Gags that incorporate song and rhythm are fun to practice, so definitely give it a try!

Rock-paper-scissors gag

Original song – Kubota Dash – Kubota Dash 🏃‍♂️💨

Here’s a one-shot gag that uses rock-paper-scissors—something every student has done.

Start by playing normally with “Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!” Then make it a tie.

After saying “Aiko de…” (tie-break), say “xiao long bao,” bring both palms together above your head, and shape them like a soup dumpling.

Next, say “from below, bang bang ji,” stand at attention, and move upward from below.

It might help to imagine a startled chicken.

The key is to open your eyes wide at the end.

[Trending on Twitter] Middle Schoolers' Freestyle Rap Battle!!

Rappers go head-to-head in verbal battles over a beat—rap battles.

Watching them feels so satisfying, doesn’t it? It’s amazing how, off the cuff, they ride the rhythm and spit a torrent of words, smoothly dropping clever rhymes without tripping over their lines.

It’s really satisfying to watch.

Doing improvised raps about common school or classroom situations would definitely hype things up!
