New Year’s one-line messages for elementary schoolers! Word ideas that will make them smile (21–30)
Thank you for always making me laugh!
Try giving these words to a friend who always shows you lots of fun things that make you smile without even thinking.
Some children may have experienced their heavy hearts lifting or their everyday life becoming brighter thanks to all the things their friend did to make them smile.
When you want to thank a friend who cheered you up like that, these words are just right.
It’s also a great idea to draw a picture of a memorable scene of something your friend did!
Thank you for always smiling
Some of you may find that your friends’ smiles always give you energy and encouragement, right? When you want to express your gratitude to such friends, these words are recommended.
It might also be nice to add a drawing of your friend’s smile or something fun along with the message.
These words don’t just mean that your friend’s smile is wonderful; they also convey thanks for everything your friend does that brings a smile to your face.
In any case, it’s the perfect message to give to a friend who is the source of your smile.
Thank you for always smiling! Let’s have another great year together.
A smile not only lifts your own spirits, but can also spread happiness to others.
This message conveys how such smiles have spread and reminds us of the importance of spending our days with a smile.
Even someone who was smiling without thinking about it will feel happy—and more motivated to keep smiling—once they realize their smile is appreciated.
Since it also speaks about the future, it comes across as a call for us to support each other with smiles going forward.
Thank you for always talking with me!
These words are perfect for a New Year’s card from an elementary school student.
For example, adding a little note about everyday moments—like “I’m happy we laugh together at recess” or “Talking with you gives me energy”—will help your feelings come across even more.
Including memories of a day you chatted a lot or played together will make it feel like a special message.
By gently adding kind words that make the reader smile, you’ll create a warm, thoughtful message that makes the other person think, “I want us to stay good friends this year, too.”
I’ll always be cheering you on as you do your best.
This is a message that warmly conveys support to someone who’s doing their best.
By deliberately saying “you,” it expresses a direct, heartfelt feeling toward the person, communicating compassion and reassurance.
The phrase “I’ll be cheering you on, always” not only supports their efforts from here on out, but also shows that you’ve noticed and cared about everything they’ve worked for up to now.
It’s a warm, positive message that lets you cheer on a cherished person’s past and future together.
May you find lots of happiness.
In everyday life, our emotions move in many different ways—there are uplifting feelings and difficult ones, too.
This message carries the wish that, amid such days, what we feel will lean as much as possible in a positive direction, so that we can experience more happiness.
Even if a life filled with nothing but happiness is hard to achieve, it conveys a hopeful intention to feel as much happiness as we can.
These are words that resonate especially when our emotions tilt negative and we forget to look for happiness.
Let’s make wonderful memories together.
It’s a stylish, one-line message that conveys the feeling of “let’s stay friends forever” to a close friend.
By referring to the future, it becomes a bright, positive New Year’s greeting—that’s the key point.
Above all, the phrase “together” is the greatest charm of this message; the idea of continuing to share the same experiences—playing, going out, eating—can become an opportunity to deepen your friendship even more.
