One-Shot Gags: A roundup of sure-fire skits that will liven up any elementary school! (1–10)
I tried becoming a historical figure.
How about performing a quiz themed around famous historical figures as a quick gag? You could crawl around on all fours shouting “Tsuyoshi!” to portray Tsuyoshi Inukai, or clap your hands quietly with a distant look to portray Kim Jong Un.
Picture the person’s name and traits, and use your body and facial expressions to represent them.
The way you act it out will look pretty funny to the audience, so I think it’ll become a one-shot joke that makes people laugh while they enjoy the quiz.
Showcase an outlandish answer

♪ Original Song – Knowledge Kozō – Knowledge Kozō
On social media, amusing answers from students’ tests often become a hot topic, don’t they? How about showcasing a collection of those quirky responses as your material? Since the questions are ones everyone’s heard before, people will likely have the “right” answer pop into their heads right away.
But then come the unexpected replies.
They’re sure to set off a wave of laughter.
It’s a lineup packed with witty, creative answers, so have everyone try to guess first and then enjoy the reveals together.
Even the process of collecting the answers will probably be pretty funny.
parody song
We’ll create a song by changing the lyrics of a famous tune.
If you’re going to perform it at an event, it’s a good idea to tailor the parody lyrics to fit that event.
If it hits, it can really hype up the crowd, but there’s a chance it might not land, so you’ll need some courage.

Caricature Illustration Challenge
Let’s try a caricature challenge as a quick gag.
Set a time limit and draw a simple portrait of the other person.
You can use paints or crayons—either is fine.
You don’t need to be good at drawing; the goal is to make a picture that gets laughs.
Exaggerate their features or create a hilariously “master artist” style drawing—just let your creativity run wild.
The drawing will stick around after the gag, so it can keep serving as a source of laughs afterward.
Teacher impersonation
https://www.tiktok.com/@mamari_official/video/7383907559150832914There’s always that one teacher at every elementary school whose quirks make you want to imitate them, right? This video showcases some teacher impressions that will make you laugh without even trying.
We don’t know what the actual teacher is like, but you can feel it through the acting.
When you perform impressions, the key might be to go all in without being shy.
Since some teachers might not appreciate being impersonated, it’s a good idea to get their permission beforehand if you’re going to do it as part of a performance.
Juggling
How about juggling as a quick party trick? You can start right away by rolling up the socks you’re wearing, so you don’t need professional juggling balls.
There’s an explanation in this video—master it and give it a try at school!
tongue twister
As a party trick to surprise your elementary school friends, tongue twisters are perfect.
This classic pastime has long been loved, and you can liven up the moment by coming up with new phrases or tackling well-known ones.
From staples like “nama mugi, nama gome, nama tamago” (raw wheat, raw rice, raw egg) to humorous ones like “bus gas bakuhatsu” (bus gas explosion), it’s fun for everyone listening.
You could even time yourselves on the same sentence to build camaraderie with friends.
Why not add tongue-twister practice to your repertoire and become someone the class looks up to? The sense of accomplishment when you can rattle them off smoothly is exceptional.
