[For Elementary School Students] Ideas for Writing a Thoughtful One-Liner on New Year’s Cards (21–30)
This year, let’s get back up like a horse even when we fall!
Foals are able to stand about one to two hours after they are born.
It’s also said that if they fall, they often get back up quickly as long as they aren’t seriously hurt.
Like those horses, this message conveys the idea of getting back on your feet and facing forward, even if you stumble.
When studying or practicing doesn’t go well, or when you fail, it’s easy to be dragged down by negative feelings and find it hard to stand up again.
But if you can share, with your friends, the determination in these words to not be defeated by negative emotions and to keep trying, you might be able to do even better in the new year than you did in the last.
I hope we can share lots of laughter again this year.
Smiles feel even more uplifting when shared with someone rather than alone, don’t they? It’s a message that invites us to laugh together and conveys a sense of positive emotion.
The phrase “this year as well” is an important touch, expressing gratitude for the joyful days we’ve already spent laughing together.
It carries a warm wish to keep spending days filled with many smiles and to continue supporting one another.
Let’s dash through this year with energy!
It’s a phrase that really captures a lively, childlike energy.
The word “dash,” inspired by the zodiac horse, conveys a sense of dynamism and strength, making it perfect for a New Year’s resolution.
It’s also striking that it invites the listener with “let’s dash,” as if saying, “let’s move forward together.” Add this phrase alongside a horse illustration, and you’re sure to have a stylish New Year’s card! Writing it in brush calligraphy could help express a sense of speed, too.
Let’s make lots of happy memories this year, too.
When you look back on your memories and a fun moment comes to mind, the feelings from that time return and you can feel happy, right? This is a positive message about continuing to create enjoyable memories this year as well—memories that will make you feel happy whenever you recall them.
It calls on us to spend the year savoring the fun and to turn those experiences into lasting memories.
It also emphasizes leaving behind many memories, conveying a sense of supporting one another along the way.
Let’s run and run and run like crazy this year, too!
Perfect for New Year’s cards to friends who love sports or are always working hard! It conveys the message: “Let’s keep giving our all, like a horse that dashes forward with energy.” For friends who play sports that involve running, it directly says, “Keep running lots and doing your best!” For friends who are dedicated to something, it encourages them to “keep charging ahead without getting discouraged.” Send your warm words of support!
Let’s make this year so fun we’ll be jumping for joy!
In equestrian sports, horses hop and jump over obstacles.
If your child wants to make this year as joyful as a horse leaping, why not use this phrase? It’s not just about having fun; being so happy that you feel like jumping for joy is truly wonderful, isn’t it? It may be difficult to have days like that all year long, but it’s important to make your own effort to create a year that’s that much fun.
If your child wants to build joyful days together with the friends to whom they’re sending New Year’s cards, encourage them to share this phrase.
This year, we’re going full speed ahead like a horse!
A short phrase that overlays a forward-looking, powerful message—“Let’s charge full speed ahead this year!”—with the image of a horse.
The words “full throttle” convey the determination to give it our all, filling this message with the positivity and energy perfect for the New Year.
It’s a line uniquely suited to a Year of the Horse New Year’s card, and simply adding “like a horse” gives it a witty, thoughtful flair.
It’s the kind of phrase that can boost not only the recipient’s spirits but your own motivation as well.
