Performances that liven up an elementary school thank-you party! A collection of ideas everyone can enjoy

ShōtenNEW!

20141221 Christmas Party (Shoten)

Are you familiar with the TV show “Shoten”? In it, the performers do a comic wordplay segment (ōgiri) based on a theme, competing to earn zabuton cushions.

If you’re thinking of adding humor to a send-off event, how about choosing a school-related theme and performing Shoten? Shoten is done with a host and performers.

You could even ask a teacher to serve as the host who runs the show.

Since everyone on Shoten wears kimono, you could make similar costumes using colored plastic bags.

If people know Shoten, they’ll understand what you’re doing right away!

How about watching a slideshow together at the thank-you party that tightly packs six years of memories? I’m sure there are lots of photos—from events like sports day and field trips to everyone’s casual, everyday moments.

Let’s turn all those photos into a slideshow.

With so many memory-filled pictures, choosing them might actually be the hardest part.

Pick some lovely background music and let’s all look back nostalgically, saying, “Oh, that happened, and that too…”

Handmade projection mapping

Nursery school thank-you party entertainment (a PowerPoint-based, pseudo projection mapping-style presentation)

Liven up your thank-you party! Here’s how to create projection mapping using PowerPoint.

First, make the video in PowerPoint.

The tools you’ll use are PowerPoint, Movie Maker, a free software for cutting and splicing WAV audio, an image cutout tool, and a box.

Start by planning the movement, then create your slides in PowerPoint and choose the music you’ll use.

Sync the PowerPoint motions to the music.

Edit the music with the WAV editing software to match the movements.

Once you’ve recorded in PPT, export it as a video from the save options.

Import the video and music into Movie Maker to generate your data.

Adjust the distance and zoom between the box and the projector, and you’re done!

Stepping Stone Crossing Game

A stepping-stone crossing game where the platforms collapse if you choose wrong...! #Shorts #SquidGame

Even teachers will be amazed! Introducing a multiple-choice “drop” game where the platforms collapse if you choose a wrong answer.

It’s also known as the stepping-stone crossing game.

Answer the quiz and jump onto the box of the color you selected.

Keep choosing the option you think is correct one by one while avoiding the wrong boxes.

If you jump onto a wrong box—splash! The goal is to see if you can select all the correct answers.

Since you can enjoy it from the problem-making stage, why not handcraft it together with elementary school students and their parents for a thank-you party?

cheer dance

Noa Girl / Cheer Dance 'Joyful' (Parents' Performance)

How about a cheer dance performance for the thank-you party? Dancing energetically in cheerleader costumes is so dazzling and would really liven up the event.

Cheer dance is recommended not only as a performance by the children, but also by the teachers and by the parents.

It’s even an idea that children, teachers, and parents can perform together.

If you choose your favorite song and dance to it, it will surely become a lifelong memory.

potato chip tastingNEW!

[Potato Chip Tasting] Kamaitachi take on a blind challenge to guess five potato chip products!

When you start a potato chip taste test, at first everyone takes it lightly, saying, “This should be easy.” But the moment they take the first bite, their expressions change and they fall into deep thought.

That silence draws attention, and those who already know the answer can’t help but stifle their laughter.

If someone confidently gets it wrong, there’s a chorus of playful jabs; if they get it right, the applause is louder than expected.

Even people who aren’t participating can enjoy watching the reactions, so it never gets boring just to observe.

It’s easy to set up, yet it naturally sparks conversation, and everyone can share the same moment gathered around the main participant—that’s what makes this party game so great.

Then, whenever a called number appears on your card, open that spot.
