In school life, how about giving the gift of a dance at a farewell party to say “thank you for all the memories”? There are several patterns to consider, such as current students dancing for graduates, or graduates dancing for teachers and parents.

Even if you’ve never danced before, if you give it your all, you’re sure to move everyone around you! The memory of having practiced the dance will likely become a cherished recollection in the future as well.

Putting together a video of memories and thank-you messages as a gift is a classic choice for a performance, isn’t it? Moving people straight with heartfelt emotion is great, but if you deliberately build in some laugh-out-loud moments, it might help everyone recall the fun times, too.

The key is how you create those laughs, and it seems easiest to base them on relatable “we’ve all been there” anecdotes that the people present can easily connect with.

It could also be exciting to weave in everyday questions or little mysteries people have had, and use the occasion to resolve them.

Who's this baby?

This is a game that’s become a tradition at our thank-you party: guess who it is by looking at their newborn photo! Some kids look almost the same as they did as newborns, while others look completely different.

Try to spot the key features and make your best guess!

When you pop the balloon, a charm comes out.

It’s a surprise where you’re handed a pre-inflated balloon, and when you pop it on cue, a charm with a written message bursts out from inside.

The loud pop and the shock of something emerging instantly amp up the excitement in the moment.

By putting heartfelt feelings into the message, the contrast with the surprise makes the experience even more moving.

To highlight the fun and festivity of popping the balloon, it’s recommended to include not only the charm and message but also bits of confetti or finely cut paper.

Farewell Party Play: “Soon to Be First Graders” — Wakakusa Kindergarten, 2014-02-26

Farewell parties can make you feel lonely about parting from close friends, but when you think about how something new is about to begin, it gets exciting, doesn’t it? How about everyone putting on a play that lets those dreams grow? For young children who are about to enter elementary school, it conveys feelings more clearly and effectively than speaking seriously.

Quiz for the Teacher

Quiz for the Teacher

It’s a quiz where you guess which teacher is behind a mask! You use clues like their height, distinctive movements, and poses to figure it out.

The kids are totally absorbed—this looks so much fun! Adults can enjoy it too, so it’s a great recommendation for a farewell party!

Hand dance

Hand dance

It’s a performance where you wear gloves and dance using only your hands.

It captivates not only kindergarten and nursery school children but also elementary school students.

Wearing colored gloves would make it even more vibrant! It’s easier to try than regular dancing, so give it a go!
