[Graduation Ceremony] Tear-jerkers! A Collection of Farewell Words & Message Ideas (1–10)
Farewell words to be recorded before graduation from kindergarten
How about recording farewell messages to play as a video at the graduation ceremony? It’s common for all the graduating children to say the farewell message together, but on the day some children may get nervous, cry, or even be absent due to illness.
Even after practicing hard, they might feel disappointed if they can’t show what they’ve prepared.
By pre-recording the farewell messages, however, those worries can be resolved at once.
Since you can re-take the footage, the children can participate without feeling nervous.
A message from the teacher to each and every one of you
Nursery schools and kindergartens are fundamentally group settings.
Because there are many children compared to the number of teachers, some kids may feel lonely in daily life, thinking they don’t get much personal attention.
But, surprisingly, teachers really do keep an eye on everyone.
So how about having the homeroom teacher give a personal message to each graduating child at the commencement ceremony? It will warm their hearts to realize, “My teacher really was watching over me.”
Graduation movie from the children
A popular and moving surprise is a graduation movie! You can show the children’s growth so far with a slideshow of photos, or choose a theme like “Memories from daycare” and have each child share a comment—it’s up to you what to include.
It does take time for advance filming and editing, but videos can be shared, so you can watch them again after the ceremony and keep the memories alive.
Create a wonderful graduation movie packed with all those special moments.
Let’s sing the song ‘I Grew Big’

Not only the parents, but the teachers as well have watched over the children as they gradually grew.
The song “I’ve Grown Up” is moving, with lyrics that feel like they capture all the time from enrollment until now, making it a piece that brings parents and teachers to tears.
Since words of gratitude are also woven into the lyrics, it’s perfect as a gift song.
Please use this song to convey the joy and gratitude of having reached the graduation ceremony safely.
A final surprise in the room from the parents

You could create a message video for the teachers, or present a bouquet made of paper flowers crafted with care by the graduating children.
Even without a big budget, if you plan with the recipient in mind, your gratitude will surely come through.
Let’s give the teachers—who spent so much time with the children and watched them grow—an unforgettable moment at the graduation ceremony.
A message of gratitude from parents, conveyed through a parody song
While it’s common for parents to express their gratitude with a speech at the graduation ceremony, the idea introduced here is a fun way to convey those feelings through a song.
In the video, they turn the song the children will sing on the day into a parody version to express thanks.
By discussing it among the parents and putting their appreciation into the lyrics, the teachers are sure to be delighted.
This is a highly recommended idea for anyone looking for something original!
A short movie filled with gratitude for my mother
How about creating a short movie with a message of gratitude for mothers to coincide with the graduation ceremony? Every day, moms and dads have poured so much love into their children—waking up early to prepare the lunches they eat at nursery or kindergarten, managing their health so they can go off full of energy.
Thank you so much for all your hard work.
Turning those everyday moments leading up to the graduation into a short skit and recording it on a DVD is a truly wonderful idea.
If you play it at the graduation ceremony or the thank-you party, it will likely resonate with many parents and move them deeply.
