Recommended performances for elementary school thank-you parties: carefully selected games and skits that will liven things up! (21–30)

Teacher impersonation

There’s always at least one person at school who’s great at doing impressions, right? If that’s you, try making impressions your act.

Celebrities and anime characters are classics, but for a thank-you party, impressions of teachers will really go over well.

You can even turn it into a quiz by doing impressions without saying who it is and having everyone guess which teacher you’re imitating!

What’s inside the box?

What's inside the box?

You often see it on TV variety shows: a game where you stick your hands into holes on both sides of a box and try to guess what’s inside just by touch.

On variety shows, they often put in living creatures—like frogs or turtles—to make it more exciting, so if you picture it that way… it definitely takes some courage, doesn’t it? To make it fun, the trick is to put in things that feel unpleasant or have a strong tactile impact.

It’s a game that makes everyone jumpy, but really gets the energy up.

Telepathy Drawing Challenge

Telepathy Drawing Challenge

Telepathy Drawing Challenge! There’s a game where several people answer a prompt at the same time, and if their answers match perfectly, they win.

This is the drawing version of that game.

For example, if the prompt is “What comes to mind when you think of a ferocious animal?” there are lots of possibilities like a lion, tiger, or leopard.

Each person draws what they imagined and tries to match answers.

It’s fun for the audience to watch, too.

It’s a simple competitive game that both kids and adults can enjoy together.

Participants split into two teams, and at the starting signal they take turns placing one O and one X for their team on the grid.

The rules are simple: each person must make exactly one move before switching to the next player, spaces are first-come-first-served, and you can’t overwrite a mark.

When time is up, the team that has lined up more of their marks vertically, horizontally, or diagonally wins! Strategy and speed are the keys to victory.

With kids and adults cheering together, it’s guaranteed to be a blast.

It’s a simple, exciting game where you watch the person in front and enjoy their movements.

The person in front extends their left hand and moves their right hand as if to hover above it, and at the exact moment the two hands line up perfectly, everyone watching claps at once.

The suspense of waiting to see when to clap is fun, and occasional feints spark laughter—that’s the charm.

The rules are easy to understand, and you can join while seated, so it’s perfect for thank-you parties and similar events.

It’s a game that everyone can enjoy together and that creates a great sense of unity in the room.

Gesture Game Showdown

The gesture game, where you convey prompts using only gestures, is a lively activity you can enjoy without speaking.

It gets even more exciting when the actions are easy for kids to understand—like animals, sports, things found at school, or even popular anime characters.

Watching the person up front try their best to express the prompt will naturally bring smiles to everyone’s faces.

More important than getting the right answer is the effort to communicate creatively.

It’s a fun activity that can bring a class or entire grade closer together during a thank-you party or similar event.
