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 for 10 years as a kindergarten teacher and for 7 years as an after-school childcare instructor, then took a post as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I also engaged in activities that shared Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational play, working with many children. Afterwards, through freelance writing, planning, and editing work at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and conveying ideas. Leveraging the perspective cultivated in educational settings and my experience as an editor, I aim to deliver practical information—focusing on fields related to music and children—that values both input and output. Hobbies include instruments, singing, handcrafts, toys, drawing, traditional play, the outdoors, books, DIY, and crafts. Special skill: 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 Topics to Liven Up Elementary School Graduation Anthologies! Class Page Idea Collection (21–30)

4-panel comic relay

In this idea, each person draws one panel, and together you complete a four-panel comic in a relay format.

The last person will probably rack their brains, since they have to deliver the punchline based on what the first three have drawn, but it’s fine to interpret it in your own way.

In fact, it’ll be even more exciting if you come up with an ending the first three never imagined! Don’t worry too much about drawing skill—just pick a theme that’s perfect for graduation season and create a four-panel comic packed with everyone’s sensibilities and humor!

A Collection of Comments: “A Word to My Past Self”

How about a collection of “A Word to My Past Self” comments, where you look back on yourself in the past—like when you did your best at the sports day or the recital, or when you failed and felt down—and say a few words to that version of you? Short phrases are fine, such as “You did great,” “You’re fine just the way you are,” or “I’m proud you didn’t give up!” By writing what you’d say now, you can also notice how much you’ve grown.

Reading your friends’ words will warm your heart and make you think, “Everyone was struggling with the same things.” It will become a gentle, memorable page—full of records of growth—perfect for graduation!

Class Relatable Moments Collection

How about putting together a one-page summary of things that often happen in your class? For example, when a popular snack is served at lunch, it turns into a rock-paper-scissors tournament, or there’s a cleanup patrol team… Everyone probably knows at least one classic “classroom trope.” These are not only funny anecdotes but also treasured memories, making them perfect for a graduation yearbook! Try surveying each person, and if multiple people mention the same thing, it’s also a great idea to compile them in a ranked list.

My Boom Collection

A fun section that introduces what everyone is currently obsessed with is “My Boom Collection.” Anything goes—games, sports, favorite foods, activities, music, you name it.

Adding drawings or short comments makes it exciting to look at.

Conversations naturally grow with reactions like “I love that too!” and “I never knew!” and it also shows how close the class is.

You can tell at a glance what was trendy at the time, and when you look back after graduation, it becomes a treasured memory that makes you think, “So nostalgic!” It will be a page full of smiles, packed with everyone’s “right now.”

We’re introducing a “One-Line Captions from Our Memories” collection that brings together everyone’s treasured photos—from sports days and field trips to school excursions and casual moments in the classroom.

Just looking at them naturally sparks conversation, creating pages packed with your class memories.

My personal ranking

What sticks in your memory from school life varies depending on each person’s personality and sensibilities.

This content asks everyone to think of their own school highlights and present them in a ranked list that reflects those individual traits.

The points of interest will change depending on which moments you choose, so let’s create a unique ranking that showcases your personality.

If you include items that can be expressed numerically—like the time you overslept—it might be easier for others to understand.
