A letter as a present
Precisely because we write by hand less in our daily lives now, a heartfelt letter resonates even more.
The handwriting and the feelings woven into the words are sure to touch everyone’s heart! Why not send such a letter to a teacher who has helped you, a parent or guardian, or a friend? If you’re doing it at a farewell party, it would be nice to read the letter aloud in front of the teacher.
For those who can’t yet write, or have only just learned, how about writing the letter together with a parent or guardian? It will surely become an unforgettable memory!
eat together
You might think “eating a meal” is nothing special… but if you think about it, lunch at a preschool or school usually happens with just classmates and teachers.
If you bring together parents and children of different ages, that in itself becomes a proper event! And of course, the food should be something a little special, right? If you can’t decide on a single menu, you could even make it a buffet.
How about this idea that fills both the stomach and the heart?
parachute ball
Parachute play is especially recommended for farewell gatherings for young children, such as in kindergartens and nurseries.
Many people hold a large, colorful cloth and march, spin it, or make waves.
It’s a dazzling performance that can instantly brighten up a bittersweet farewell event! Of course, teachers and younger students can put it on, but if you include the children who are graduating, it’s sure to become a wonderful memory.
The memory of everyone doing it together at the end, and the memory of having such a lively, wonderful performance done just for them…
It will create all kinds of cherished memories!
Sketchbook Relay
A sketchbook relay where each graduating student writes a message in the same sketchbook, and then it’s edited into a farewell party message video.
Depending on what they write, it can turn into a touching video or a funny one.
With the right ideas, it makes for a really exciting bit of entertainment!
Bouquet presentation
Presenting bouquets isn’t the kind of activity that gets everyone fired up, but it’s a recommended performance that really moves people.
While it can be costly, if all the children’s parents participate, it becomes quite inexpensive overall, making it excellent in terms of cost performance.
Having the kids personally present the bouquets is sure to be touching.

handbell
Handbells are instruments where each bell produces a different pitch, and you play music by ringing them.
Their pure, cleansing tone is truly beautiful! How about selecting songs that are perfect for graduation from kindergarten or school, or pieces that are popular among everyone, and giving them a try? It’s quite tough for just one or two people, so plan the number of participants so that each person handles about one or two bells, with teachers and underclassmen cooperating together.
When performing, you need to be sure of which note you’re responsible for and what notes come before and after yours.
It’s trickier than you might expect, but once it all comes together, the result is a wonderful performance that will definitely delight those who are graduating!
Interviews with preschool and school graduates
How about a performance in an interview format, asking questions like “What’s your most memorable moment from your time at the kindergarten/school?” The great thing about this is that it puts the spotlight on each individual.
Since it’s a special occasion, having a moment to shine will likely make both the student and their parents happy! It could also be nice to have current students come up with the questions themselves.
With the right ideas, it can turn into a major event—an incredibly fun activity, in my opinion!
