Performances for the 6th Graders’ Farewell Party: From Funny Skits to Heartwarming Ideas (21–30)
Handbell performanceNEW!
Handbell performances are a great way to express everyday gratitude and say “thank you for everything” through sound.
When everyone breathes together and plays Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy,” each individual bell tone overlaps, filling the venue with a gentle, warm melody.
By carefully ringing each note, you can convey your feelings to the sixth graders with all your heart—experiencing a sense of accomplishment, connection with your friends, and gratitude along the way.
For the sixth graders listening, it will become a warm, unforgettable moment of the send-off gathering that brings everyone’s hearts together.
Silhouette QuizNEW!
This is a quiz where you look only at a silhouette and guess what it is.
For items with distinctive shapes, like a banana, it’s easier to arrive at the answer.
However, simple shapes like an apple or a mandarin tend to be more challenging.
For elementary school children, why not have fun with familiar items they often use at school, such as pencils or pencil cases? If the answer doesn’t come easily, give them a hint.
You can prepare the silhouettes on paper beforehand, or on the day use a white cloth and a light to create shadows.

Pompon lettersNEW!
Speaking of cheerleading, it refers to a sport in which several people in cheer outfits incorporate “dance,” “jumps,” and “stunts,” where they lift or toss people like in a human pyramid.
Coordinated outfits, synchronized movements, and brightly colored pom-poms are striking, aren’t they? It’s great to enthusiastically take on jumps and stunts, but they require a lot of practice.
When full-fledged cheer is difficult, just matching outfits and pom-poms and dancing can make for a perfectly cool performance.
Creating letters with pom-poms like in the video is wonderful, too.
Memories SlideshowNEW!
Here’s an idea for a memory slideshow that kids and adults alike can enjoy! By using photos and videos, you can capture and reflect on the children’s growth and their smiles during everyday play and events.
It’s also great for watching at home with family and reminiscing together—“Remember when this happened?” It’s easy to make: simply line up photos from a year—or even six years—and you’ll have a collection packed with smiles and memorable moments.
It can also be a chance to renew your appreciation for the children, parents, and teachers, and to mark the occasion.
If you play it at a send-off gathering, it will create a warm atmosphere and get both kids and adults excited together.
Japanese taiko drummingNEW!
If you’re looking for a performance to present on stage, how about a Japanese taiko drum performance? Taiko drumming is powerful and cool, so I think many kids will want to give it a try.
Working on it together will also strengthen teamwork.
If you show that you can carry out the taiko performance properly, the graduates will likely feel reassured, thinking, “We can leave it to them.” Practicing the drums builds physical strength and improves concentration, so please consider it!
Rock-Paper-Scissors TrainNEW!
It’s a game where you play rock-paper-scissors with someone nearby, and the loser lines up behind the winner to form a train.
The person who never loses rock-paper-scissors gets to lead the long train at the end! In this game, music is played by default, and when the music stops, you play rock-paper-scissors.
As long as you can play rock-paper-scissors, you can enjoy the game, so any elementary school student can join.
The rules are simple, but it gets surprisingly exciting, so it’s recommended when you want to enjoy a game with a large group!
Sign language dance ‘Racing into the Night’YOASOBI
How about performing a sign language dance to YOASOBI’s “Racing into the Night,” a famous song everyone has heard at least once? Adding detailed hand movements to the dance will make it a bit more challenging, but that’s exactly why it could be a performance that captures the audience’s interest.
Plus, this dance might spark curiosity about sign language as a communication tool and open up a new world.
Talk together about which signs to incorporate into the dance and try creating your own original choreography.
