Chorus of Guardians
A perfect performance idea for parents is a chorus.
Create a moving atmosphere with beautiful singing that’s a little different from the kids.
By the way, if moms and dads participate in a balanced way, it tends to sound nicer.
Another tip for making the chorus a success is to choose songs that everyone knows.
That way, the audience can hum along, too.
It also helps if someone wants to jump in at the last minute.
First, don’t be shy—try starting by singing your heart out.
wotagei
How about planning a “wotagei” performance as entertainment for the thank-you party? Since it involves dancing with glow sticks, it looks even more beautiful in a dark venue and is sure to delight the audience.
Song selection is key for wotagei! Look into popular anime songs and J-pop that kids love, and give it a try.
Let’s energize the venue with a fun and beautiful wotagei performance! It does require practice, but there are groups who share wotagei as a performance, so consider using them as a reference.
Graduation movie from the children
A popular and moving surprise is a graduation movie! You can show the children’s growth so far with a slideshow of photos, or choose a theme like “Memories from daycare” and have each child share a comment—it’s up to you what to include.
It does take time for advance filming and editing, but videos can be shared, so you can watch them again after the ceremony and keep the memories alive.
Create a wonderful graduation movie packed with all those special moments.
Fill-in-the-blank game
@user346911418193 Hello everyone! This is Day Service Sukoyaka. We had light snow falling since this morning. Today, we’d like to introduce the “Fill-in-the-Blank Bingo” recreation activity we did the day before yesterday.#ExcitingGameget excited; liven up; heat up; be盛り上がる; build up (excitement/enthusiasm); be盛り上がる (crowd/atmosphere)#ChristmasLarge groupSmall groupEvent IntroductionTranslationarrangementUsa CityFill in the blanksFill-in-the-blank Bingo#Bingo#bingoBingo GamepencilTranslationGroup Game#CognitivePrevention#ChristmasDay-service recreationEvent IntroductionarrangementTranslationTranslationTranslationSnow#☃️Brain training

When you think of bingo, it’s usually an individual game, but this “Fill-in Bingo” can be enjoyed as a team competition.
First, prepare one sheet with a 4×4 grid for each team.
After writing the team name, fill the squares with items related to the theme.
For example, if the theme is “spring,” you might write tulips, ladybugs, and other spring-related things.
Discuss as a team to decide what to write.
Once all the squares are filled, the game begins! Items related to the theme will be announced one by one; if you have the same item, circle it and aim for bingo!
Ring Relay
https://www.tiktok.com/@kidschallengeclub/video/7402061345539083538When you hear “ring relay,” you might picture using hula hoops, but this is an idea you can do without any equipment.
You make tunnels with your legs, pair up and hold hands, and use your bodies to create various kinds of rings.
After someone passes through a ring, you immediately form the next ring for the next person to go through, repeating this from the start to the finish line.
The team that reaches the finish first wins! Since it requires no equipment and the rules are simple, feel free to enjoy it at the thank-you party.
What’s inside the box?
A party game classic! How about enjoying “What’s in the Box?” at your thank-you party? It’s a simple game where you stick your hand into a box without knowing what’s inside, feel it, and guess what it is.
Even harmless items like a scrub brush or konnyaku can seem scary when you can’t see them.
It’s easy to prepare yet always a hit, so consider adding it to your program.
Since children will likely participate, be sure to choose contents with care to avoid allergies and injuries!

Bouquet presentation
As a performance for the thank-you party that’s sure to move the teachers, we recommend presenting bouquets! How about surprising all the teachers by giving them bouquets from the children with heartfelt thanks? We suggest combining flowers commonly seen at florists during graduation season, such as marguerites, tulips, sweet peas, and gerberas.
If your budget allows, you could also add slightly more expensive flowers like roses.
It would be wonderful to attach message cards from the children to the bouquets as well!
