Boys in elementary school are often beginning to learn a musical instrument such as piano, band instruments or strings. The children can perform an instrument solo at the talent show to form a small ensemble with other boys from their music class. So that they are less nervous, have the children perform a song that they learned in class. Popular instruments include strings, drums, brass, piano and wind instruments.
Many elementary schools have music and dance classes where the boys learn a variety of songs that they can perform at a talent show. The boys can put together a classic or contemporary song with or without dance moves that they can perform for the audience. The children can also have friends who play instruments accompanying them on their song.
Magic is popular with elementary-aged boys and is a good act for talent shows. The children can have the audience members volunteer to help with the tricks or they can have a friend act as an assistant. Many tricks require inexpensive props that you can find around the house, which makes the tricks easy to practice and master.
Groups of boys can perform together to act out a skit. Some elementary schools have drama classes where the children can learn a skit or they can use their creativity to write a skit of their own. The skits can also include songs and dances to incorporate more talents into the act. Individuals can also perform monologues at the talent show if they want to showcase themselves.
