One-Shot Gags: A roundup of guaranteed crowd-pleasers for elementary school! (11–20)
CupsNEW!

Cups performed to fun music and a pleasant rhythm is a recommended act that can liven up the entire venue.
In this video, we introduce a cups routine to “Doraemon” sung by Gen Hoshino.
You’ll keep the beat using hand claps and two paper cups.
If you’re doing it with a large group, lining up side by side at long tables makes it easier to stay in sync.
In addition to well-known anime theme songs, you could also use songs that were hits at the sports festival or trending tracks.
Encourage the audience to sing along or clap their hands to get the whole venue excited!
jump rope

Jump rope is incredibly helpful for building stamina and rhythm! How about showing off some amazing tricks with a jump rope? This video features an elementary school student who actually pulls off a quintuple under.
That’s not all—while doing quadruple unders, they briefly let go of the grips and catch them again, and also perform basic forward jumps and cross jumps! Double and triple unders serve as a run-up to the quintuple under, and it’s said that the rope length and the way you turn it are crucial for improving.
Give these awesome tricks a try!
whistling
A musical performance is a classic choice for a show, but instruments can seem difficult to prepare and practice.
When getting instruments ready feels challenging, why not try whistling instead? By adjusting the shape of your lips and tongue and the way you blow, you can produce sound—and since it’s a performance using your body, you can practice casually anywhere.
Once you can reliably control volume and pitch, start exploring where the notes of the piece you want to perform are.
It’s an especially great option for people who are good at finding notes by feel.
Short skit

These are short comedy skits performed by comedians.
I think people will enjoy them without getting bored if you present several very short ones, around 10 to 30 seconds each.
It’s hard to come up with them yourself, so just copying comedians’ routines should still get the crowd excited.
beatbox

It’s a performance that creates music using only the voice.
Since it reproduces drum and percussion sounds, it’s quite difficult and takes time to master, but it’s guaranteed to get everyone excited! It’s also fun to split roles among a large group and sing well-known songs.
Impersonation

It’s a very classic one-shot gag.
First, try imitating mainly the appearance.
Make sure to capture the distinctive traits of the person you’re mimicking, and if necessary, prepare props.
Then imitate their movements and voice.
By carefully copying the subtle characteristics, you can create the right vibe.
Don’t obsess over quality—what’s important is to go all in and see it through.

Otaku-gei Radio Calisthenics

It’s a performance that’s sure to be a hit at elementary schools, but be careful—if you do it during a serious class or a morning meeting, you’ll definitely get in trouble.
I recommend doing it only during recess or in places specifically meant for performances.
Since it uses the well-known Radio Calisthenics as its theme, it’s very easy to understand and really fun.
