[Preschool/Kindergarten] A Collection of Performance Ideas for Graduation Thank-You Parties! Fun for Both Parents and Kids (1–10)
projection mapping
Creating real projection mapping can be quite challenging in many ways, but with the right ideas, you can make a “wannabe projection mapping” version! Using PowerPoint might make it easier to operate.
If you put in the effort, the quality will surprise adults, and the kids are sure to love it too!
Who’s this baby?
If your friends can provide photos from their newborn days, I highly recommend it! Newborns look completely different from how they do now, so even if someone asks, “Who is this?” it’s surprisingly hard to tell.
It’s sure to turn into a fun quiz with everyone calling out your friends’ names.
Sketchbook Relay
A “sketchbook relay” is a video made by writing messages—words you want to share with everyone—on a sketchbook and passing it along from person to person like a relay, then connecting those scenes together.
Depending on the music and the content of the messages, it can become a moving video or a funny one.
Share ideas with everyone and try creating a wonderful message video!
Surprise Award Ceremony
How about an emotional surprise performance from the children for their teachers? At the thank-you party after the graduation ceremony, you could prepare certificates for the teachers to express your gratitude—in the video, it’s about a café’s graduating staff member being celebrated, but let’s honor the homeroom teacher and other teachers who took care of the children! This will surely be a tearjerker!
Rearrangement Quiz
One game you can enjoy as a performance after the kindergarten graduation ceremony is this “Rearrangement Quiz.” The rules are simple: give the children panels or papers with letters written on them, and have them guess the correct word from letters arranged in a random order.
It becomes more difficult as the number of letters increases.
It’s more fun if you design it so the color of the panels helps them associate the correct answer.
Giant fukuwarai with the teacher’s face
A unique, guaranteed-to-be-funny New Year’s game popular with kids: playing ‘Fukuwarai’ using the teacher’s face.
Just seeing the completed faces will surely make for a fun time laughing together with their beloved teachers! It would probably be a hit to try it with the children’s faces, too.
Slideshow
Let’s compile a slideshow full of memories from admission to graduation! These days, everyone has a smartphone, so you probably have plenty of photos.
There are even features that automatically select photos and create a slideshow for you.
You might find yourself in tears as you look back at nostalgic photos and see how the children have grown.
A moving, heartfelt slideshow is highly recommended.
