3 Hand-Play Songs for New Preschoolers
How about celebrating the new children’s enrollment with a hand play activity set to songs, so everyone can enjoy moving in unison? Moving energetically is the key to making it feel extra fun, so some support with the actions might be helpful.
Since you’ll use songs like “Sakana ga Hanete,” “Sanbiki no Kobuta,” and “Te o Tatakimashou,” the movements should be easy to understand.
If the children already know these songs, encouraging them to sing out loud will make it even more enjoyable, so that’s also recommended.
Paper Plate Theater
It’s like a handmade animation where the picture changes as you move the paper plate.
First, you show a silhouette illustration and have people guess what it is.
Then you gradually transform it until the true image is revealed.
The paper plate has slits cut into it, and you make the illustration appear by sliding it through those gaps.
By revealing the answer bit by bit and prompting them to respond as soon as they figure it out, you can encourage them to keep thinking carefully about what the illustration might be without giving up.
Teachers’ dance “Goroppu Jaga Jaga”
Teachers and the principal are all gathered! Here are the teachers’ performances at the entrance ceremony.
The principal’s big jump even drew impressed “Ooh!”s from the children.
Thanks to the rhythm-filled, funky song, it looks like the welcome party was a great success!
A congratulatory message from the current preschool/kindergarten children
At the entrance ceremony, having the current students there to welcome the newcomers is incredibly reassuring, isn’t it? I think it would be great to have you, as their seniors in kindergarten or nursery school, give a speech as well.
Why is it that, even though you’re only a little older, you look so dignified and strong? Let’s show everyone how splendid the seniors are!
Welcome Song “Isn’t It Fun?”
A song gift from the current children is a classic among classics! “Tanoshii ne” is not only perfect in terms of lyrics for singing at an entrance ceremony, but having the older boys and girls who already attend kindergarten or nursery school sing it will help the newcomers feel, “They’re going to be friendly with me,” easing their anxiety and nervousness.
Adding a phrase at the end like “Let’s have fun together” will make it feel even warmer.
line dance
How about a line dance performed by the teachers at the entrance ceremony? The choreography isn’t very difficult, so it should be easy to work on.
You could even dress up as trendy characters the children like.
It would be nice if, by the time they graduate, the kids could do it together with the teachers!

Puppet show board “Cute Hide-and-Seek”
Even the children who were nervous at the entrance ceremony will feel at ease with familiar songs and a paper puppet show.
Since “Hide-and-Seek” is known even to very young children, the teachers’ large paper puppets will leave a lasting impression.
Singing together is an important moment at the entrance ceremony, too.
