[Heartwarming] Surprise Ideas That Will Excite a Kindergarten (21–30)
Anpanman Puppet Show
The puppet show featuring Anpanman, everyone’s favorite, is perfect as a performance for the entrance ceremony! Entrance ceremonies can be nerve-wracking events for children, right? They may also feel anxious about the new environment.
So let’s bring out their beloved Anpanman! They’ll surely be captivated, and their nervousness will ease.
If you make the play’s story a fun tale set in a kindergarten or daycare, it might feel much more relatable.
Since there will likely be infants as young as 0 years old, it’s better to keep the story short.
Hand play ‘The Flower Smiled’
How about enjoying a hand-play activity with the children’s song “Ohanaga Waratta,” which is perfect for spring entrance ceremonies? You can make flowers with your hands and open them with a pop—it’s a very simple and cute choreography.
Playing it together with children who may be nervous in a new place, or having teachers perform it, could help ease some of that tension.
This song might also convey that kindergarten or nursery school is a fun place.
Please consider it as a performance idea.

handbell
You can’t help but be enchanted by the gentle tone of handbells.
Let’s gift a soothing performance: from the children to their families, and from the teachers to the children.
Handbells are tricky instruments—if you swing too hard, the sound won’t resonate, and if you swing too softly, it won’t ring properly.
Because practice helps develop the ability to distinguish nuances in tone, handbells might spark some children’s interest in music and instruments.
Of course, it’s not easy for adults either! Please breathe together as one and play with a gentle touch so everyone will think, “Our teachers are wonderful!”
Cotton candy making
How about surprising the kids with a cotton candy–making reward after they finish big events like sports days or school performances? While some children may have bought big cotton candies at festivals, few have actually made them themselves.
Explain in an easy-to-understand way that cotton candy is made from granulated sugar and why it comes out fluffy when you put it into a cotton candy machine, and enjoy making it together with a festive vibe.
If you use colored and flavored sugar, the kids will be even more delighted.
Frozen instrument performance
A perfectly synchronized ensemble by all the children is ideal for a surprise performance! If you choose grand, beloved songs like Frozen, the kids will be more motivated to practice and the result will be a moving performance.
An ensemble is also a chance to play instruments they don’t usually get to try.
Many children start taking drum lessons after being assigned rhythm instruments at daycare or kindergarten, or discover how fun the melodica is and begin practicing the piano!
African Symphony
African Symphony, which echoes through Koshien Stadium as a popular high school baseball cheering song, is a rhythmical, catchy piece that lets large groups perform while feeling a strong sense of unity throughout their bodies.
Because percussion plays a starring role, having plenty of drums, cymbals, tambourines, and the like will make for an even more powerful performance.
Even if each child is small, the sound they create together is incredibly impactful! If performed as a surprise, some parents may even be moved to tears as they sense how much their children have grown.
Anpanman Show
How about surprising the children with an Anpanman show from the teachers at the end of the school play? The kids will be thrilled to see their favorite hero of justice, Anpanman, and the teachers transformed into popular characters—it’s sure to be a big hit! You probably already teach them the importance of helping those in need and saying NO to bad things.
Still, it can be difficult for little children to fully picture those ideas.
With the help of Anpanman, a figure they all admire, the message will resonate more easily with their hearts.
