A Story That Never Fails (to Get Laughs)
This is a performance that imitates the content of a popular show.
When you’re having trouble coming up with ideas, I think it’s fine to create a story or copy one.
It’s important to keep it from getting too long.
Also, it’s good if as many people as possible can take part and cover a wide range of topics.
karaoke
Elementary school students, why not try a quick comedy act at karaoke? The great thing about karaoke is that you don’t need any preparation and it’s easy to jump in.
If you pick songs everyone knows, you’ll probably get more friends singing along.
It’s also fun to sing while doing an impression of your favorite singer.
Don’t be shy—go all out! Even if you’re not good at singing, karaoke can still be a blast.
Competing with friends using the scoring feature is fun, too.
You might even make new friends through music.
Come on, let’s all enjoy karaoke together!
spoon holder
Glue a cup onto a tray to keep it from moving.
Place a spoon on the same tray, then move the tray so that the spoon goes into the cup—it’s a one-shot trick.
The materials are inexpensive, so anyone can give it a try.
When you nail it, it looks pretty cool.
pantomime
It’s a performance art where your body movements create the illusion of an invisible wall and make a bag appear to float.
No special props are required, but it takes considerable practice, so mastering it takes time.
However, if done well, it’s sure to be a hit.
I think people of all ages—not just elementary school students—can enjoy it.

riddle
Riddle jokes became quite a hot topic thanks to the comedian Nezucchi.
They’re a form of wordplay that uses double meanings, where you solve the riddle by finding a common point related to the prompt.
They’re usually done off the cuff, so you need flexible thinking, but once you get the hang of it, they’re said to be not that difficult.
backflip
Backflips are the classic party trick that never fails to amaze! That dynamic move that flips your body upside down is sure to grab everyone’s attention.
But don’t think, “There’s no way I can do a backflip right off the bat!” Start with a cartwheel and work your way up bit by bit.
Be careful not to get hurt.
It’s best to practice in a safe place and learn from a coach or someone experienced.
If you master the backflip, you’ll definitely become a class favorite! Be brave and give it a try.
Practice makes perfect!
voice imitation
Impressions and voice impersonations are great one-shot crowd-pleasers.
They take a bit of practice, but there’s surely a character that matches your voice.
Well-known Disney characters and popular anime characters always get people excited.
These days there are plenty of voice-impression lesson videos, so why not make use of those too? Characters from trending anime are a given, but impressions of your teachers or friends will definitely get a big reaction as well.
