Recommended slogans for an elementary school sports day

10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.

A person from the melodic hardcore boom generation who loves music, photography, and eating. I’ve been going to live houses for over 20 years. I’m at the age where summer festivals are starting to feel tough physically. I sometimes try shooting live photos and videos for MVs. I’m not great at English, so I often listen to straightforward Japanese rock that hits directly, but if someone recommends something, I’ll listen to anything—Western or Japanese—broadly and casually. I like cooking while listening to music; it’s a nice way to relieve stress.

Parody/Humor (1–10)

Nothing but ◯◯ wins!

It’s a slogan that powerfully proclaims that our team and our teammates are absolute—the best—and celebrates how amazing they are.

The original catchphrase is “oshi shika katan,” which expresses strong devotion to something you love.

Since a sports festival is all about striving for victory together with your teammates, it pairs well with the word “win.” If you insert a teammate’s name, it can be used to cheer on that member; if you insert a word representing the team, it strongly emphasizes unity and bonds.

The combat power of ◯◯ is 530,000.

It’s a slogan that puts our strength into numbers to clearly put pressure on the opponent.

It’s one of the signature lines of Frieza from the Dragon Ball anime series, and it straightforwardly proclaims being strong.

While there are points of comparison—like the farmer’s power level being 5—the gap is so vast that it becomes hard to grasp, which is part of what makes this phrase impactful.

By emphasizing a power level so high it defies understanding and presenting oneself as an unknown entity, the goal is to intimidate the opponent.

It not only rallies us and applies pressure, but also evokes Frieza’s distinctive manner of speaking, adding an element of fun.

Is it possible for Team ◯ to win? Of course it is.

It’s a positive slogan that imagines our chances of winning and affirms them.

Inspired by phrases from Ariel laundry detergent commercials, its light, bouncy rhythm is part of the fun.

Drawing on the ads’ message—that even things that seem impossible can be solved with Ariel—let’s channel that spirit toward our own chances of victory.

Because the phrasing evokes laundry detergent, the fresh, clean vibe also perfectly suits a sports festival setting.

We are the strongest.

By putting into words that we are the strong, we start to feel like true champions—and our actual power grows, too.

This is a straightforward slogan that declares we are absolute elites.

It takes inspiration from the song title of Uta, a character who appears in the blockbuster film ONE PIECE FILM RED, so designing it in a way that hints at the original reference could be fun.

It’s a phrase that not only lends you strength through the words themselves, but also conveys power through the work and the song’s content.

Attack on Class ◯

This is a slogan inspired by Attack on Titan, a work that portrays humanity’s fight for survival and its clashes with giants.

As a story about overcoming fear and confronting the unknown, the title itself conveys strong determination.

The intensity and dynamism of the battle scenes are also essential elements, making it a perfect phrase for sports situations.

It also simply expresses the idea of forging ahead, so it can convey a drive toward victory and the act of shaking off anxiety.

I just normally like winning more than Van Gogh.

This is a slogan that expresses a strong desire to win the sports festival by comparing the goal of winning with something unrelated.

It’s a phrase inspired by comedian Nagano’s famous bit, “I just like Lassen more than Van Gogh,” and the humor comes from comparing winning to Van Gogh—two things that have no connection.

Using Van Gogh alone works, but it could also be fun to expand the idea by comparing it to all sorts of other things.

Let’s convey full-on momentum and strength—enough to overwhelm any doubt about the irrelevance of the comparisons.
