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!
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.
finger knitting
https://www.tiktok.com/@miigomama_chiiku/video/7321316674244775186Why not try finger knitting and surprise the people around you? All you need are three thick strands of yarn.
The width will change depending on how many fingers you use.
Here, we’ll use three fingers.
First, pull the lower yarn and thread your fingers through it.
Drape the yarn over your fingers, then pass your fingers through the lower yarn.
Repeat this process.
When looping the yarn, make sure to loop it in the same direction each time.
After you’ve knitted about five times, pull the end.
Shape it and keep knitting until it reaches your desired length.
Finally, remove the loops from your fingers one by one, making each into a small loop, and pull the end to finish.
If you want to make it into a ring or loop, tie it.

It takes practice, but if you can pull it off, it’s a crowd-pleasing party trick.
Capoeira is a Brazilian cultural art that combines martial arts, music, and dance.
It’s a perfect one-shot trick that only flexible elementary school kids can do.
Be careful and make sure not to get injured.
