[Heartwarming] Surprise Ideas That Will Excite a Kindergarten (1–10)
Sketchbook Relay

It’s a slightly elaborate card idea where you film a sketchbook with written messages and pass it along relay-style from one person to the next.
Since each person can record their own message and video, everyone’s feelings can be shared.
It’s a great idea for a gift to give a teacher at a kindergarten graduation, for example.
Plus, not only do you have the video, but you also get to keep the completed sketchbook with everyone’s messages, which is nice.
It’s a wonderful idea you can look back on anytime, both as a video and as a message card—why not surprise a beloved teacher with this thoughtful present?
Bouquet presentation

A very simple bouquet presentation that anyone is likely to appreciate.
Flowers are one of those gifts that make anyone happy, aren’t they? I think they’re especially perfect as a surprise gift from children to their teachers or parents.
A large, full bouquet is lovely, but it would also be a wonderful touch to have kindergarteners hand their teacher single, colorful flowers one by one, each with a short message.
A single flower is easier for the children to hand over, too.
Song gift: “Teacher, thank you.”

There are many ways to express gratitude.
You can give a handmade gift or write a message card—there are all kinds of options.
Whatever the method, if it’s filled with genuine feeling, it’s perfect.
As one idea, how about an original song as a gift? If the lyrics include the person’s actual name or describe shared memories, the listener will surely be amazed.
You could record yourself singing and send it as a video, or play it on piano or another instrument and surprise them on the spot.
Why not turn your gratitude into a one-of-a-kind song in the whole world?
flash mob

A flash mob is when people around you suddenly start dancing or singing.
It catches you off guard for a moment, but you quickly get drawn into the fun performance! This kind of surprising yet delightful flash mob is sure to please anyone, children of course, but also people of all ages.
Whether it’s a teacher at a nursery or kindergarten, or a parent, start with one person or a small group as the trigger, and gradually have the surrounding teachers and parents join in.
And of course, when you perform, keep your practice a secret from the audience.
It’s perfect not only for graduation or school entrance celebrations, but also for birthday parties.
Performing songs popular with children

How about surprising the kids with a live musical performance as a gift? Since many children aren’t very familiar with instruments—especially classical ones—you might wonder if they’ll enjoy it or be able to sit still and listen.
But if you choose songs that are popular with kids—tunes from well-known preschool shows or anime themes—everyone will be hooked and the energy will skyrocket! Let’s wow them with theme songs from the latest hit anime!
A gift of smiles with a portrait

As a memorable gift, giving portraits to the graduating children is also recommended.
Even though we think we know our own faces, we don’t actually notice the finer details.
That’s why a portrait can lead to new self-discoveries.
Try drawing while imagining the children’s smiles—whether it’s a simple pencil sketch or a stylized, character-like caricature.
When handing out the portraits, make it even more fun by not calling names and turning it into a quiz to guess who’s who during the gift-giving time.
Balloon release

Balloon releases are a common sight at weddings and similar events.
Watching lots of colorful balloons soar up into the blue sky is truly refreshing and moving, isn’t it? Have each participant hold a balloon, and when the signal sounds, send them off—let them release the balloons into the sky.
There are a few rules for balloon releases: while most places don’t seem to require special permission, the balloons must be filled with helium and made of environmentally friendly materials.
