New Year’s card one-line messages for elementary school kids! Cheerful phrase ideas (71–80)
May the new year bring many smiles to meet.
A smile is something we wear when we’re happy or having fun, isn’t it? This message carries a wish that you’ll encounter many such joyful moments.
By using the word “smile,” happiness feels closer at hand, and it conveys the hope that the person reading it will smile too.
No one knows what the new year will bring.
But if this one phrase is added to a New Year’s card, wouldn’t you find yourself smiling when you sense the promise of a joyful future?
Let’s spend every day with a smile!
As the saying goes, “Good fortune comes to the home that smiles,” a smile has many kinds of power.
Just as the saying suggests, if you can spend each day with a smile, you may encounter many good things.
This phrase is perfect when you want the coming year to be filled with lots of good things together with your dear friends.
When your friend smiles, you feel happy, and if you smile, your friend will surely be happy too.
With the feeling of sharing happiness with each other, why not include this saying in your New Year’s card as a gift?
A year to dash through with laughter!
Let’s make the new year one filled with endless laughter! These words convey that feeling.
The phrase “dash through” overlaps with the image of a horse running swiftly and gallantly.
Even when we live each day with all our might, it’s far better to spend it with a smile than with a pained expression, isn’t it? Whether you’re studying hard, immersing yourself in lessons, or of course playing with friends, try using these words with the resolve to keep smiling—words that encourage not only your friends but yourself as well.
They say good fortune comes to a smiling home!
This message incorporates the proverb often heard in everyday conversation, “Good fortune comes to a home filled with laughter.” It means that happiness naturally comes to a household where laughter never ceases.
It conveys the wish that the recipient of the New Year’s card will always be smiling and be happy.
Using a proverb instead of stating it directly is stylish, isn’t it? Ending the sentence with something like “so I’ve heard!” gives it a childlike, friendly feel.
Try writing it with a gentle ending.
A year that starts with a smile and ends with a smile!
It’s often said that the first and last impressions of a year greatly influence how we feel about it as a whole.
This message encourages you to spend both the beginning and the end of the year with a smile, so you can look back and think it was a joyful year.
Starting with a smile makes you want to keep that smile going, and ending with a smile brings back strong, happy memories from the year.
Receiving this as a message inspires you to be mindful of your smile and move forward with a positive mindset.
