Presenting the bright and gentle-toned “Arigatou no Hana” with a sign-language dance sounds like it will make for a memorable recital.
To help the children learn the signs, let’s practice repeatedly, part by part along with the lyrics.
Since sign language performed to music can change in tempo and feel, repeated practice is recommended.
When teaching the signs, it’s also a good idea to use photos or show picture books so the children can feel closer to sign language.
Let’s use facial expressions and body movements too, and have the teacher enjoy practicing together with the children.

The song’s lyrics look back on the events of a year spent in kindergarten or nursery school, tracing the journey up to graduation.
Singing it brings back past memories and is likely to move you to tears.
