Recommendations for Farewell-Party Performances: A roundup of can’t-miss, gratitude-filled crowd-pleasers (1–10)
Flip joke
In a flip-board routine, comedians perform using boards (flips) with drawings or words on them.
Because the flips provide visual information in addition to words, the jokes are easier to convey and can be performed solo.
The content can be anything.
You can write part of the routine in words, or get laughs from the drawings on the flips.
Popular comedians like Bakarhythm and Sosina from Shimofuri Myojo also perform flip-board comedy, so use them as references and try creating your own original material.
exposé showdown
When you set off on a new journey, you want to leave with your surroundings in order.
It’s especially not a good idea to depart while still carrying secrets.
So, let’s wrap things up with a final tell-all session and let everyone lay down the burdens on their hearts before they go.
The more participants there are, the more secrets will gather in the room, and the livelier it will be.
However, revealing someone else’s secrets also means accepting the risk that your own might be exposed, so be prepared for that, both of you.
Time capsule
I think it will take time to prepare, but a time capsule would also be a great way to liven up the farewell party.
Since the length of time you leave it sealed is important, it’s best to put second-year items and letters into the time capsule when you’re still in your first year.
Simply including mementos is nice, but if you want to make it more exciting, you could have second-years write down the name of their crush on a slip of paper, then reveal it at the farewell party as part of the time capsule.
Also, if managing a capsule is difficult, I recommend using a time-capsule postal service.

Message Movie
Messages to send to graduates are moving in any era, and they warm the atmosphere without needing to overthink things.
Reading messages aloud on the spot is nice, but since it’s a special occasion, you could also record messages on video in advance—from students, of course, as well as teachers and even cafeteria staff and other members of the school community—and compile them into something like a video letter.
If you play the video at just the right moment, it will surely delight everyone.
If possible, be sure to secure message videos from people students don’t often get to speak with directly, such as the principal!
The person who is the most ___
I think games like “Okay, let’s all point to the senior we think is the biggest perv!” are perfect for a farewell party.
It’s the kind of game known as “Who’s the most ___?” or a first impressions game.
If you make use of the senior-junior hierarchy, the mix of tension and release will make it lively.
If the hierarchy is too strict, it might be better to create a checklist and have people answer in a survey format.
Why not take advantage of the final anything-goes atmosphere with this game?
Bingo
Bingo is a classic among classics for parties, not just for farewell parties.
There’s hardly any need to explain the rules.
That said, simply enjoying bingo on its own can be a bit tough for adults.
Sure, it was fun as kids, but once you reach a certain age, the excitement can depend a lot on the prizes—and sometimes it just doesn’t land.
In that case, it might be a good idea to make bingo a punishment game on purpose.
Since it’s a farewell party, people are more likely to let loose at the end.
Why not prepare some intense forfeits and really liven things up?
Comedy live show
You probably want the people who helped you to set off feeling happy, to say goodbye with laughter.
In that case, just keep it simple and make everyone laugh with a manzai or a comedy sketch.
You can imitate routines by popular comedians, or since it’s a good opportunity, it might be fun to come up with an original bit that only those around you will understand.
It’s also easy to incorporate some classic “senpai” jokes, but be careful not to push the jokes too far and make anyone upset.
