♪ Original Song – Wakatake Kindergarten | Kawasaki City | Takatsu Ward | Nakahara Ward – Wakatake Kindergarten | Kawasaki City | Takatsu Ward | Nakahara Ward
This is a Mera dance performed by kindergarten teachers, and it was created as the theme dance for an overnight childcare event.
The pattern repeats: a lively jump, clapping overhead, and then spinning the hands, so it’s easy for anyone to learn and dance.
The lively jump part is especially fun to do and is sure to get everyone excited.
Overnight childcare can sometimes make kids feel a bit anxious, but with a theme dance like this, everyone can enjoy it together and get through it happily.
Feel free to use it as a reference for exercise dances as well.

A perfect paper puppet show for spring events! Here are some ideas for “Ohana ga Waratta.” It’s a vibrant puppet show featuring spring flowers to the gentle melody and calm rhythm of the children’s song “Ohana ga Waratta.” With piano accompaniment, the time will feel even more special! The smiling flowers are adorable, and they might soothe the nerves of children who are feeling a little anxious.
Be sure to give it a try!

The fluffy, cute balloon theater is so much fun! We’re introducing the idea for “What’s Inside the Present…”.
In the video it’s performed at a birthday event, but it’s also a fantastic idea for a school entrance ceremony! You’ll get to see children’s sparkling, adorable expressions as they wonder what’s inside the present box.
When you open the lid and the balloon starts to inflate bit by bit, the kids are guaranteed to get excited! Take this opportunity to give it a try.
Tulip Sketchbook Theater
Let me introduce a tulip-themed sketchbook theater that’s perfect for a spring entrance ceremony.
Many children may feel nervous or anxious in a new place, especially at an entrance ceremony.
Use a sketchbook theater with illustrations to introduce the kindergarten and convey that it’s a fun place to be.
Once you decide which places and items in the school you want to introduce, create them inside the sketchbook.
It’s recommended to use brightly colored construction paper or origami.
Keep the explanations clear and simple so the children can easily relate and feel at ease.
Magic “Pop-up Card”
One popular choice for party entertainment and performances is magic.
Among these, pop-out card magic like this is especially engaging because it lets the audience participate.
You prepare a sturdy paper bag with a hidden rubber band inside, and when you put the selected card into the bag while hooking only that card onto the rubber band, just that card pops out.
If you laminate the cards, they’ll shoot out with even more force, so give it a try!
