Let’s sing in sign language: ‘A Love Letter of Thanks’
Let’s learn the meaning together too! Here’s an idea to express gratitude using sign language.
Some preschools may have children sing songs they’ve practiced regularly at the graduation ceremony.
For the thank-you party, how about secretly preparing one more song with sign language to surprise the teachers? By sharing a video, children and parents can practice at home without having to gather.
It’s also a wonderful point that, through songs, kids can become interested in sign language and learn the meanings—turning it into a learning opportunity.
Be sure to give it a try on this occasion!
Recommended for teachers! Magic show
If you want to plan a performance that will wow everyone, how about a magic show? When you think of magic, you might imagine that it’s something only magicians do and that it requires special techniques, but there are ideas that beginners can master with practice.
There are also magic items that require no practice and tricks you can perform with just a bit of preparation, so try looking into different options.
Using everyday items familiar to children—like paper cups or handkerchiefs—might make the experience feel even more magical.
A gift of song! Full of sparkle
In time with the song, little stars appear—and amazingly, cherry blossoms, ginkgo leaves, and even snowmen come out from inside those stars in the song “Full of Sparkles”! With these seasonal motifs, it will become a wonderful performance that brings back memories everyone shared together.
At the end, paper dolls holding hands and hearts make an appearance, and if you put them up on the wall, they’ll become decorations that feel like your precious memories have taken shape.
A cappella is fine, but if someone is good at piano, ask them to accompany.
You’re sure to have a calm, lovely time.
The final present in the room of memories
@kujayku_nakama_studio After the graduation ceremony, there was a surprise from the parents in the classroom. We watched a video of the homeroom teacher’s activities, and then the children presented flowers.graduation ceremony (for kindergarten/preschool)#Graduation from kindergartenGraduation Ceremony SurpriseSurprise161, Kitano, Noguchi-cho, Kakogawa CityCongratulations on your kindergarten graduation!Kakogawa Kujaku Children's GardenKakogawa Nursery School#Kakogawa Akashi Children's Garden#Kakogawa Recommended Nursery Schools#HigashiKakogawaRecommendationsBring out individuality#FunWorkEvent SeriesChildcare studentNursery School PracticumKindergarten Teacher#GoNurseryTeachersCertified Childcare and Education TeacherPeacock Nursery School@[Official] Kujaku Children's Garden

At the appreciation party where you express your gratitude for everything up to now, let’s give a surprise gift at the end.
Prepare heartfelt presents such as a video featuring footage from events like class visits and sports days, a bouquet of flowers, or handmade items.
Screening the video on the spot is recommended, as everyone can share the moment together.
It’s also lovely to give out the commemorative photo taken at the end as a gift.
The presents received in the room filled with memories of your time together will become precious treasures—not just as objects, but as moments themselves.
A thank-you party featuring a food truck!

You often see food trucks at festivals and other events, and just spotting one can be exciting—maybe you feel the same way.
If a food truck shows up at a thank-you party, it’s sure to be a hit with both adults and kids! A familiar space can instantly transform into somewhere special.
The memories of gathering around a food truck and enjoying delicious food at the thank-you party will be something you’ll cherish forever.
You can find companies that dispatch food trucks online, so try searching for one.

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.
Guardian Pirate Rock ’n’ Roll
A thank-you party to express our gratitude to the teachers.
Ideally, the performances should be something that make both parents and children smile together.
How about a “Pirate Rock ’n’ Roll” number led by the parents? Parents dressed in matching costumes performing a perfectly synchronized dance will warm the teachers’ hearts, and it’s sure to get the kids excited too.
It’s bound to become a memorable performance for everyone there.
Practicing the dance will be tough, but you’ll also experience the emotion and sense of accomplishment when you see it through.
