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?
Memory movie
When it comes to classic tear-jerkers for a thank-you party, a memory movie is the go-to choice.
Since it involves personal information, you’ll need to confirm photo usage with each parent or guardian, but if everyone gives permission, why not create a wonderful video filled with the moments you’ve shared so far? Those brilliant, fleeting instants of the children—now past—and the stories that show their growth are sure to bring tears to the eyes of parents and teachers alike.
And seeing their own hard work up on the big screen will surely make the children happy, too.
Bento Surprise
A great idea for surprising your child is a bento-box surprise.
It’s perfect not only for families who pack lunches for daycare or kindergarten every day, but also for those who usually have school meals and only occasionally have bento days! Make one on a special occasion—like your child’s birthday, sports day, or the last bento day before graduation—and make their day extra joyful.
You could splurge a little on the ingredients, arrange the layout and colors more festively than usual, or add extra portions of your child’s favorite foods.
With just a bit of extra effort from parents, you can celebrate and cheer on your child’s special day.
Santa Claus has arrived!
When it comes to Christmas, what children look forward to most is Santa Claus.
At Christmas parties there are lots of fun things like singing songs and enjoying performances, but it’s always a different level of excitement when Santa shows up.
That said, choosing someone to play Santa can be tricky…
The kids are smart, so if it’s someone they know, they’ll figure it out right away.
Let’s find a man the children don’t know, with a sturdy build and a beard that would suit him!

Traditional Japanese musical instrument performance
Surprise them with a traditional Japanese instruments concert where they can hear powerful live performances and even try the instruments themselves! For children, getting hands-on experience with traditional instruments like taiko drums, shakuhachi flutes, and shamisen is a rare opportunity.
By encountering traditional music and playing these delicate instruments on their own, they can appreciate the unique qualities of Japanese music, distinct from the sounds and instruments they usually hear.
If the children respond well, you might even add a small taiko ensemble to performances at events like school plays or sports days.
