[Childcare] Ideas for props for a school play. Easy ways to make them.

9 years of experience as a nursery school teacherShibata Risa
I am an active nursery school teacher with 9 years of experience. After graduating from university, I worked at a daycare center. The time I spent happily with children—playing piano, singing songs, and doing finger-play—are priceless memories to me. Currently, while raising three children of my own, I work at an after-school day service, engaging with children and providing individualized developmental support. Drawing on my diverse experiences as a childcare worker and as a mother, I hope to express and convey my thoughts through writing.

At many kindergartens and nursery schools, children often put on plays or dances for recital days and performance showcases.

These events are valuable opportunities for parents and guardians to see how hard the children have worked and how much they’ve grown.

We want to keep spirits high and make sure everyone has fun while participating.

So this time, we’re sharing prop ideas you can use for such recitals.

From hats and masks the children can wear to chairs, drums, and pom-poms, we’ve got plenty of ideas to make your program even more vibrant and exciting!

If you make the props together with the children, their imaginations will expand and the fun is sure to double!

Be sure to give these ideas a try!

colored glasses

Colored glasses you can make in 5 to 10 minutes.

They’re recommended because you can get creative with the shapes and colors depending on who makes them.

First, draw a glasses frame in any shape you like on thick paper and cut it out.

Apply glue to the back base and attach color film.

Color the front side, punch holes on the outer edges, and attach rubber bands through the holes.

It sounds fun to make different kinds of glasses, dance while wearing them, or use them for pretend play.

Just be careful when using scissors to cut out the base.
