Hidden talents even elementary school kids can do! A collection of performance ideas that will liven up any event

Spinning a top

Kanta Tani, who became the world champion of nagegoma (throwing goma).

Spinning tops are one of the traditional games passed down through the ages.

When you’re just starting out, even getting a top to spin normally can be quite a challenge, so simply spinning it for others might already work as a party trick.

But since you’re at it, take it a step further—practice a variety of techniques and show them off to make it even more exciting! There are many tricks, like spinning it on your palm or on a string, and if you search on YouTube you’ll find lots of videos explaining tips and techniques.

Practice a lot and try performing in front of everyone!

choral musical

Children’s Chorus Musical “Song of the Sun” P.V. — Kan Wakamatsu (Writer, Script, Music)

Choral singing is one of the performances often assigned at school, but in elementary school, a chorus without movement can feel a bit boring, even if it’s well done.

In such cases, opting for a musical format instead of a regular chorus adds movement and seems to evoke a certain level of emotion in the audience.

magic person in charge

[4th Grader] Intense practice in front of the mirror! A close-up on the buzzworthy “Magic Boy” — every. Special Feature

A magic person who can make viewers go “Ah!” with surprise.

You’ll shine during break times and school events.

Once you find a trick you want to perform, practice it over and over and memorize the steps so you can present it smoothly.

The way you show it and the way you talk are also key.

It’s important to keep a good rhythm and proceed smoothly so your audience doesn’t get suspicious.

Get your classmates involved—have them help with the tricks and ask what kind of magic they want to see—so you can build the excitement together!

Honnō-ji Incident

I tried reenacting the Honnō-ji Incident ✨

EXILE-Explosion, whose lyrics completely overturn the difficult image of history and whose exquisite choreography has made them popular, is a unit belonging to Yoshimoto that handles dance and choreography.

For some reason, this “Honnoji Incident” piece is oddly popular among children as well, so it’s sure to get everyone excited! In this video, the dancing is very skillful and gives off a refreshing vibe, but making it a bit more understated might create a better atmosphere.

A magic trick where the color of water changes

Mini Science Show: “Water Color-Changing Magic!”

Magic tricks are a classic crowd-pleaser, but what kinds of tricks make people happiest? If you can perform them right in front of the audience, almost any trick that surprises them will be a hit.

But if you’re performing in a larger space, it’s better to choose tricks where it’s immediately clear what’s happening at a glance.

Even something as simple as changing the color of water is easy to understand and likely to get the audience excited.

“50 Anime Impressions Marathon” SHUN’s TV No. 7

Impressions are easy for anyone to understand if they’re similar, so they really get people excited.

It can be hard if you don’t know the original source, but impressions of universally watched anime like Doraemon, Sazae-san, Maruko-chan, or Disney are easy to get.

If you think up some lines to say and have fun with it, it’ll likely be a hit.

Lupin on a melodica

Pianica Lupin

This is a really shocking video—in the best way.

This is what being an entertainer is all about! It’s so cool, with even some dance flair, and above all, the sound is fantastic.

I never imagined a melodica could be used this stylishly! This video is absolutely professional work.

I bet even elementary school kids would get excited about it.
