[Graduation Party] A Collection of Surprise Ideas That Will Touch the Hearts of Teachers and Children

10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.

I’m Hiyoko-sensei, a former nursery school teacher from Hyogo Prefecture. Ever since I was five, my dream was to become a childcare worker, and before I knew it, 20 years had passed since I achieved that dream. Through singing and playing with the children, I kept working with the spirit of someone in their twenties, even as I increasingly felt my physical limits year by year (haha). From here on, I’d like to share helpful information carefully and thoughtfully, drawing on my on-site experience.

Graduation Ceremony Memory Movie

The graduation ceremony is a precious memory that stays in the hearts of the graduates, teachers, and parents.

At the appreciation party where you express your gratitude to the teachers, it would be nice to replay the emotions by showing a graduation video.

Seeing the graduating children walk proudly with celebratory flowers on their chests is moving and makes you feel how much they’ve grown.

Since the teachers attending the graduation ceremony can’t film during the event, they may be especially touched at the appreciation party when they get to see the children looking so cool all over again.

It’s sure to be a warm time filled with happy tears and smiles.

When you hear about certificates at a graduation ceremony, you probably imagine them being given to the children.

As a surprise idea, how about presenting certificates to the teachers who led the graduating class? The children have surely been through a lot, and the teachers must have faced many struggles too.

At this milestone of a successful graduation, consider giving them a certificate as a token of gratitude and appreciation for their hard work.

Whether it’s from the children, from the parents, or from the principal—no matter who it’s from, it will be a delightful surprise.

A surprise celebration for the principal (director)

A surprise plan for the principal who has been looking over the whole kindergarten! Even though they weren’t your homeroom teacher, let’s express our gratitude to the principal who always watched over you.

Share the words of “thank you” that everyone came up with together, and give a gift like a photo taken with the principal.

To finish, how about everyone raising both arms high and forming an arch with all the graduating children? The stars of the graduation ceremony are the children, but since it’s the final occasion, you want to celebrate together with everyone, don’t you?

The graduation ceremony is a major milestone for the children.

It’s also a special time for parents and homeroom teachers.

But there are others who have been closely involved with the children day in and day out.

Yes—the assistant teachers who supported the class and were always by the children’s side.

Because they’re not often highlighted during the ceremony, why not plan a surprise to express your gratitude? I’m sure they’ll be moved and delighted, even as they’re taken by surprise.

A surprise gift of a song

Graduation Surprise (Graduation Song)

A surprise gift of a song

In their kindergarten life, the children have probably encountered many songs.

Among them are pieces they practiced hard with their teachers, over and over, for events like the play recital or the annual performance.

As a surprise idea for the graduation ceremony, I’d like to suggest a song.

Choose one filled with memories of the teachers, or a song that conveys what you want to express to the parents, and sing it powerfully with big, lively voices.

It will surely be a wonderful and moving surprise that lets everyone feel how much the children have grown.

A Song Gift for the Teacher

https://www.tiktok.com/@omiyamichinoko/video/74827031916085281355

If you’d like to give a gift to a teacher who has supported you, how about giving the gift of a song? You could sing a song you’ve performed together before, or choose—after discussing with everyone—a song that expresses your gratitude and present it as a surprise on the day.

The children’s earnest singing voices will convey a direct “We love you” and “Thank you” to the teacher.

Listening to the song, the teacher will rejoice in the children’s growth and, while recalling the time you’ve spent together, will surely be moved to the point of having their heart full.
