Speaking of 〇〇, games

For an elementary school thank-you party, the go-to recommendation is a team matching game.
In this game, the goal is for everyone on the team to come up with the same answer to a given prompt.
For example, if the prompt is “must-haves for a festival,” most people would answer “fan” or “shaved ice.” By communicating within the team, students can deepen their bonds with friends and teachers, making it a fitting activity to commemorate graduation.
The joy and sense of accomplishment when answers match will become an unforgettable memory for the children.
Join forces and share a fun time together.
Air Guitar Contest

Do you love music but feel you just can’t perform? Don’t give up! Even if you can’t play an instrument, you can still put on an amazing musical performance—with air guitar or an air band! Air guitar is so popular worldwide that there’s even a world championship held every year.
Let’s rock and make the appreciation party stage come alive!
Dance Show by Cool Teachers

From the doors at the back of the hall, the teachers make their entrance, sharply dressed in jackets.
Placing their hands on the shoulders of the person in front, they march forward slowly.
That Choo Choo Train move is a classic by now.
As the teachers step lightly to a song by the popular group Arashi, the graduates and their parents respond with rhythmic clapping.
It does feel a bit like a year-end party skit, but it’s sure to get everyone fired up.
Moms’ Song & Dance

Here’s a perfect chance for moms to shine—how about a dance and song performance? Pick songs and dances the kids love, and liven up the thank-you party by singing and dancing joyfully like idols or pop singers! Seeing their moms dancing their hearts out for them will surely make the children delighted!
Recreation of the music video

Smartphone cameras and video quality have improved, and video editing software has become easy to use.
So why not take the plunge and try making a music video? In this video, we recreate au’s Santaro commercial.
Work together as a class and put effort into the locations, costumes, and acting!
