New Year’s cards from elementary school kids to friends! Ready-to-use short message ideas (11–20)
This year, I’m going to get a score that won’t be a shocking surprise on the test!
What kind of score did you even get? Don’t tell me… a zero? It’s the kind of message that makes you curious, right? Kids who know their test scores might just laugh and go, “Ohhh, I see.” Instead of “work hard at studying” or “aim for a perfect 100,” the idea of escaping from the lowest line gets a laugh—and when you see each other in the New Year, it could spark a conversation like, “So what score were you talking about?” If you ended up with a shocking score on your end-of-term test, try sending this as your New Year’s resolution.
With a little encouragement from friends, you might just find the motivation to do your best!
Let’s spend every day with a smile!
As the saying goes, “Good fortune comes to the home that smiles,” a smile has many kinds of power.
Just as the saying suggests, if you can spend each day with a smile, you may encounter many good things.
This phrase is perfect when you want the coming year to be filled with lots of good things together with your dear friends.
When your friend smiles, you feel happy, and if you smile, your friend will surely be happy too.
With the feeling of sharing happiness with each other, why not include this saying in your New Year’s card as a gift?
My goal for this year is, for now, to just smile!
It’s a perfect short message for a New Year’s card—bright and cheerful, and it really conveys a happy feeling.
For example, adding a small everyday moment like “the time you joked around and laughed with friends during break” or “the little chuckle you had over something small in class” will make your feelings come through even more.
It naturally expresses a positive mindset of staying smiling no matter the day, so it’s a message that will make the reader smile without even realizing it.
It’s a warm and lively line that shows your wish to cherish small joys and fun moments.
Our friendship level is set to rise again this year!
How about a unique little message that makes you chuckle? Ending it with “is planned” instead of “let’s get along” or even “we will get along” shows real flair! The phrase “friendship level” also feels casual and would likely resonate with kids who love games or personality quizzes.
The wording makes it sound like a done deal, which is funny and makes you want to blurt out, “Wait, what?”—but it’s a lovely message that will bring smiles from the New Year.
You’re already good friends, but you can get even closer… Send your friend that wonderful feeling of what’s to come!
Let’s make this a year where we live recess to the fullest.
Here are some words that will cheer up the person who receives them.
Adding small, joyful moments from everyday life—like “I had so much fun sprinting and laughing during dodgeball the other day,” or “We were chatting so excitedly that before we knew it, the bell rang”—helps your feelings come across even more.
As you recall how you gave it your all and had fun even in a short time, turn it into a positive, uplifting message like, “Let’s enjoy recess to the fullest again this year!” It’s a warm phrase that will naturally brighten the reader’s spirits.
Let’s share lots of laughter together this year, too!
It’s important to share joy with others; by layering positive feelings, the excitement only grows.
This message conveys the wish to share that happiness and spend time together with smiles.
It also carries the lesson that smiles are essential for living each day positively, as well as the desire to support one another.
These are words that call on us to keep sharing fun memories over the coming year, and that evoke a sense of connection between people.
Thank you for always smiling! Let’s have another great year together.
A smile not only lifts your own spirits, but can also spread happiness to others.
This message conveys how such smiles have spread and reminds us of the importance of spending our days with a smile.
Even someone who was smiling without thinking about it will feel happy—and more motivated to keep smiling—once they realize their smile is appreciated.
Since it also speaks about the future, it comes across as a call for us to support each other with smiles going forward.
Let’s laugh a lot and make it a wonderful year.
Above all, a smile is essential for enjoying each day—when we’re smiling, our mindset naturally becomes more positive.
This message calls on us to cherish our smiles and live each day with that spirit, making it a year filled with the same intent.
It also carries the wish that many smiles will come our way, since the more we laugh, the more fun we have.
Within these simple words lies a lesson for living healthily day by day: a reminder of just how important a smile truly is.
Wishing you a year full of smiles.
A year filled with smiles… in other words, it’s a message wishing for that person’s happiness throughout the entire year.
The onomatopoeic expression nikoniko is cute and evokes a child’s sun-like smile.
It’s a smile that appears precisely because you’re truly happy.
Days when you can wear that smile all year round would be truly wonderful.
If you love that person’s smile and want them to keep smiling forever, why not send them this short message? Your feelings will surely come across.
Let’s make lots of fun memories together!
Time spent with your dearest friends is truly irreplaceable, isn’t it? How about adding this message to your New Year’s card? Simply being together creates wonderful memories, but if the two of you discover something fun to share, I’m sure it will become an even more amazing time.
It might even turn into an unforgettable memory of a lifetime.

From that very moment, your joyful and fulfilling days will begin.
