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.

Tips for not losing your belongingsNEW!

When you head into class, various preparations like writing utensils and textbooks are essential—and it’s common to find yourself forgetting something.

This activity asks each person to reflect on how they’ve dealt with such forgetfulness and to think about strategies to prevent it.

Some people may share methods for checking at home, while others might suggest how to keep things at school, revealing differences in personality.

Let’s enjoy the whole process by looking at others’ ideas and considering whether to incorporate them ourselves.

A Collection of Memorable Quotes from ClassNEW!

This section is about looking back in words on the small moments that happened during classes—precious memories of school life.

Instead of focusing on the lesson content, let’s highlight the memorable quotes that came up, crafting something that conveys the atmosphere of the classroom.

It’s great to include a variety of angles: funny bits like unforgettable slips of the tongue by teachers or bizarre answers from friends, as well as moving, heartfelt words.

Taking a survey from everyone and compiling the results may help create content that resonates with a wider audience.

Future dream

If you write about your future dreams in your graduation anthology, you’ll be able to look back on them when you’re an adult and have fun reminiscing.

Instead of only declaring a specific job or a big dream, it’s also a good idea to note goals like “become someone who can repay my parents’ kindness” or “become a bride.” If you already have a clear dream, writing it down as a guide for the path you’ll follow can be great, too.

What kinds of conversations will you have a dozen years from now—“You really made it happen!” or “You went in the complete opposite direction,” and so on?

The greatest technique I learned hereNEW!

To spend your time comfortably at school, I believe the kinds of learning outside of academics—such as communication with friends—were also important.

This activity asks each of you to reflect on what you feel was a major learning experience in those non-academic areas.

Let’s think about things like ways of communicating and how to use break time efficiently, including how these might be useful in your lives going forward.

Through this reflection on your learning, you may also begin to see your own patterns of thinking and behavior.

Words of thanks to my familyNEW!

At this milestone of graduation, why not try telling your family the words you don’t usually say? Family are the ones closest to you who cheer you on and support you.

While that’s reassuring, the closeness can sometimes make their presence feel bothersome and lead to arguments.

Even so, deep down, you must feel grateful.

If saying it out loud feels embarrassing, try writing your feelings in the class anthology.

As you think back to your childhood, remember anew your family’s warmth and kindness.

Surely the last word of your piece will naturally be “thank you.”

Gratitude to the teacher who supported meNEW!

How about writing a collection of essays to express your gratitude to an unforgettable teacher? Think of someone who supported you behind the scenes, like your homeroom teacher or your club advisor.

The teachers who have always been there for you will be harder to see after you graduate, and they may even be transferred, making it difficult to meet them soon.

Telling them directly is wonderful, but if you leave your feelings in the special form of an essay collection, it will convey just how important those teachers have been to you.

Everyday treasures in the ordinary moments of the classroomNEW!

How about writing on the theme of the unassuming everyday scenes you see in the classroom? The scenes of lessons, lunchtime, and the classroom during breaks may seem trivial, but once you graduate, you won’t see them again.

That ordinary, taken-for-granted daily life can’t be reclaimed after graduation.

That’s why you should capture those treasure-like moments in an anthology you can revisit over and over.

Every time you open it, the time you spent with friends and teachers will come back to you as if it were yesterday.

That will surely become a source of support for you.
