One-Shot Gags: A Roundup of Surefire Hits That Will Get Any Elementary School Hype! (71–80)
lip-sync impression
Even when they imitate adults in the same way, elementary schoolers’ impressions somehow retain a touch of cuteness.
How about turning that into a strength instead? As in this video, if you play the real clip side by side, the cuteness might shine even more and get a better reaction.
Whether the impression is spot-on or not, the charm of elementary schoolers’ impressions is how they mellow the mood of the moment.
karate kata
How about secretly practicing karate and showing it off as a performance? In this video, we introduce the kata that children from preschool to first grade practice.
Many people might think, “Karate is about fighting, right?” or “Isn’t it the one where you break tiles?” Kata is the foundation, so mastering it properly is essential to becoming strong.
Performing a basic kata as part of a show will really get the audience excited.
It’s also a good idea to practice in secret so you won’t be found out before the big day.
ventriloquism
This is ventriloquism made famous by Ikkokudou.
It’s an act that turns speaking in a ventriloquism style—moving your mouth while delaying your voice—into a performance.
It’s best to practice in front of a mirror first.
Once you’ve got the hang of it, why not show it to your family? It may not be very flashy, but if you do it well, they’ll be amazed!

Freestyle basketball
It can be done using only a basketball and body movements.
We combine dance with ball performance.
With repeated practice, the movements will become so smooth it will seem as if the ball is alive, making it exciting.
However, it does require a lot of practice.
Kendama
https://www.tiktok.com/@stardust_sendai.girl/video/6963562343720684801Kendama is popular overseas too! It’s easy to carry around, and when you nail a trick, the excitement is guaranteed.
This features videos of Around the World, Spike Slip, High-speed Moshikame, and Sakaotoshi.
They might look very difficult at first glance, but once you get the hang of it and practice, you can learn all kinds of techniques.
For beginners, we recommend Moshikame! Take your time and practice without rushing.
If you practice to the rhythm of a song, your body will start to move naturally as you get used to it.
draw manga
@moemoe_kyun_06 A comic I drew in 4th grade (2). This sequence is way too shocking lol#AspiringMangaArtist#IllustrationGrowth record
♪ Original song – moemoe_kyun_06 – Hiramitsu
Even if you draw pictures in class, you probably don’t get many chances to create something with a manga-like style at school.
How about taking on an original manga and showcasing strengths that go beyond just drawing skills? If it’s tough to create completely original characters and stories, it’s also a great idea to use your favorite manga as reference.
You might have even more fun by teaming up—someone who’s good at drawing and someone who’s good at coming up with stories.
Not only will it be exciting in the moment, but the fact that the work remains as a finished piece is also an appealing point.
Yosakoi
These days, more and more elementary schools perform dances like Yosakoi, Eisa, and Soran at their sports festivals, and the number of kids who can dance them is growing.
If you suddenly play the music and break into one of these dances as a quick party trick, the whole class is sure to join in and the excitement will skyrocket.
Plus, it’s a great way to experience traditional Japanese dance, so it’s highly recommended.
