Even if you forget a line or can’t quite pull off the cool act, it’s sure to get laughs, so it should be a hit in elementary school.
funny face
Speaking of funny faces, they’re a simple party trick anyone can try.
Precisely because they’re a classic, they make everyone laugh and are always a hit! There are all sorts of types and methods—using your hands, or just moving your face.
In any case, the key is to go all in and not hold back.
Why not find a funny face so over-the-top that even you’ll laugh, and practice it?
Street-performer-style juggling
If you choose your tricks carefully and keep safety in mind, street performance is a recommended activity that even elementary school students can try.
You don’t have to aim for professional-level perfection—you can create a dazzling stage through presentation.
In addition to practicing, why not put some thought into the music and costumes as well?
