Teacher, Please Don’t Cry (Graduation Ceremony Song · Thank-You Party Song · Preschool Graduation Song · Farewell Party Song · Performance for the Thank-You Party · Thank-You Party Entertainment)

This is a song composed for a kindergarten graduation ceremony.
It’s in the key of C major, and the piano accompaniment seems easy to play.
How about surprising everyone at the ceremony by having all the children sing this song together? It might also be nice to customize it a little by writing some episodes from that kindergarten into the lyrics.

A pop-up surprise for the kids! Here are some message bouquet ideas.
Many preschools decorate the graduation ceremony venue with colorful flowers, don’t they? This time, let’s make the messages with a flower theme too.
Create flowers from construction paper, attach stems made from origami, and finish by wrapping them using items like doilies—done! It’s an idea that’s fun to make and delightful to receive.
And message bouquets are guaranteed to look great in photos!
hand-drawn illustration card
https://www.tiktok.com/@chiko303/video/7347976167498075393We’d like to share ideas for hand-drawn illustration cards that convey a teacher’s kindness and warm presence.
Some children even request, “I love your drawings, teacher!” Why not create a special message card featuring illustrations that only you can draw? The unique charm and warmth of hand-drawn art will gently touch the children’s hearts.
Adding color with colored pencils or pastels will give it a soft, gentle finish.
It’s also lovely to draw a motif that each child likes!
A message from children to their parents
The messages from the children to their parents at the graduation ceremony are such a moving, heartfelt moment.
Have the teacher call each child’s name one by one, and invite the parents to come to the front.
It’s best if the children think about and prepare the messages they want to share in advance.
If they’re unsure what to say, teachers can ask guiding questions to help the words they want to express come out.
Since it’s a special occasion, preparing an individual message card for each child will help them feel confident on stage.
Also, play some background music to set the mood.
Wishing you a wonderful graduation ceremony.
A group message written on a balloon
As graduation from kindergarten approaches, a balloon-themed group message for the teacher from everyone is such a lovely idea.
Once you decide how many people will write messages, prepare a sheet of colored paper and draw the same number of balloons.
By using a compass to draw the base of each balloon, you can keep the sizes uniform and make it easy to write the messages.
Hand-drawn elements add a warm, charming touch, too.
Placing a portrait or photo of the teacher in the center would likely be a hit as well.
Vary the colors of the balloons and create a bright, heartfelt message board of gratitude!
A message of gratitude to parents/guardians

When it comes to tear-jerking surprises at a preschool graduation ceremony, nothing beats letters from the children to their parents! Looking back, the daily commute to preschool must have had its tough moments.
Just hearing words like “Thank you for making delicious meals” and “Thank you for working hard every day” from your child is enough to make your heart swell.
If you record it on a video camera or smartphone, it will surely become a memory to treasure for a lifetime.
A video message from the teacher to the kindergarten graduates

Let’s send a video message from the teachers to the graduating children.
The great thing about a video message is that, even in times like these when it’s hard for everyone to gather, you can still give the gift of thoughtful words.
If teachers remove their masks while recording, the children can clearly see the faces they love.
It can also be fun if the teachers plan it together and do a little back-and-forth.
With the teachers’ warm words in their hearts, the children will feel secure as they set off into their new environment.
