Funny ideas to spice up elementary school graduation yearbooks! A collection of concepts for the class page

10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.

Currently, I mainly handle articles for children, drawing on what I’ve learned about parenting and what I feel and discover through daily interactions with my kids.

Fun ideas that will liven up an elementary school graduation yearbook! Class page ideas (1–10)

What if you could 〇〇?

Questions that start with “What if you could…?” are a classic staple for graduation yearbooks.

For example, “What if you could time-travel?” or “What if you had just one wish granted?” would spark lots of different, fun answers.

There are also quirky, near–ultimate-choice questions like “If you had to eat the same side dish for the rest of your life, what would you choose?” Plus, prompts that stir the imagination—such as “If you were reborn, what would you want to be?”—are great recommendations too.

Six Years of Regret

Asking this question—what do you regret from your six years in elementary school?—will surely become a chance to preserve precious memories.

If you record episodes like “I wish I had done this back then,” you can be certain that later on they’ll spark lively conversations like, “Wait, that happened?” or “Yeah, that really was frustrating.” The memories of elementary school can’t be told only through fun or moving moments.

This idea helps you preserve those valuable days more three-dimensionally as a record.

Collection of quotes and misquotes

The idea of a collection of famous quotes and infamous quips can be both hilarious and moving.

This involves compiling classmates’ inspiring lines—or the ones that make no sense.

If you include these quotes and quips in the graduation yearbook, looking back later will bring back the atmosphere and memories of that time.

It could also be fun to compile the teachers’ quotes and quips.

Let’s all reflect on what’s happened so far and share the lines that left the strongest impression.

The best memory of my school life

It’s also a great idea to leave your best memory from a school life that felt long yet passed quickly in your graduation yearbook.

In the six years of elementary school, you probably had all kinds of experiences—fun times and tough ones alike.

Looking back on the days you spent at school, such as memories of events and club activities, can be a good starting point.

Talk it over with your friends and classmates, and try to find the single memory that stands out most for you.

Class Memories Timeline

Here’s an idea for a class memory timeline that packs all your school memories into one place.

As the name suggests, it summarizes memorable events that happened in your class in a timeline format.

You can look back over everything from when the class first formed to graduation all at once.

And since it’s a timeline, each event has to be expressed in just a few words, which also makes it hard for outsiders to grasp the full meaning—that’s part of the charm.

It feels like a secret code that only your classmates can understand, which is exciting.

message board (with group messages), group card, or collective autograph

There are many ways to create a class message board—thank-you messages to everyone in the class, thoughts for the homeroom teacher, or even caricatures of every classmate.

No matter the format, a message board filled with everyone’s feelings is perfect for the class page of the graduation anthology! The time spent adding your own message or drawing while looking at what your classmates wrote will become a cherished memory, too.

A message board that gathers everyone’s feelings will warm your heart for years to come, without ever fading.

Message from the homeroom teacher

By receiving a message from the homeroom teacher who supported them, students can continue to feel encouraged even after they grow up.

It’s nice to have the teacher reflect on the memories of the days spent together, and it’s also a good idea to ask for a message of encouragement for the upcoming junior high school life.

We recommend asking not only the sixth-grade homeroom teacher but also any teachers who have helped along the way.

Every time you open the graduation yearbook, you might just find yourself wanting to see your teachers again.
