[Nursery/Kindergarten] Thank-You Party Performance Ideas! Fun for Parents and Kids (71–80)
Children’s Play “Cinderella”
Taking on a stage production of Cinderella, famous as the subject of a Disney film! You’ll definitely want to pay special attention to the costumes, like the dresses.
Since the story is easy to follow, it should be enjoyable even at a thank-you party with small children.
Giving it a musical-style finish is a great option, too!
One Night Carnival | Kishidan
This is a dance performance to Kishidan’s “One Night Carnival”! I recommend it for moms! If the usually gentle mothers put on school uniforms, wear pompadour wigs, and act like delinquents while singing, I think the impact would be amazing.
The thank-you party venue is sure to be filled with laughter.
Russian roulette
If it’s a thank-you party, how about preparing some light snacks and using them to enjoy a game? Let’s try the popular party game “Russian roulette”! You might think it’s wrong to play with food, but it’s fine if you make sure everything is edible.
For example, you could make small rice balls with a variety of fillings, with the “losing” one containing an extra-sour pickled plum.
Or prepare mini cream puffs and make the “losing” one filled with a super tart lemon cream.
That way, it’s a Russian roulette where the odd one out is still edible.
Naruko Soran
It might be fun to try dancing Yosakoi! Performing in matching costumes to the Soran Bushi has great impact and looks really cool.
Dance boldly as if you’re participating in a festival! Don’t be shy—give a strong cheer, too!
New EraAdo
Ado’s “New Genesis” seems like a wonderful song choice to liven up the thank-you party! The powerful dance showcased in the film ONE PIECE FILM RED is sure to be enjoyed by both the children and their parents together.
Its bursting, stylish melody has a charm that draws in people of any generation.
With Yasutaka Nakata’s technopop rhythms setting hearts dancing, it’s bound to be a time filled with smiles throughout the venue.
Let’s all sing together and celebrate our hope for a new era!
Musical “The Lion King”
How about putting on a play of The Lion King, famous for “Hakuna Matata!”? You can take inspiration from the Disney movie, or even copy the Shiki Theatre Company’s production.
Don’t be shy—speaking your lines loudly and clearly will improve the quality of the performance.
Optical Illusion Line Dance
The Illusion Line Dance involves wearing full-body tights with different colors on the right and left sides, standing side by side with arms linked, and dancing.
The color illusion makes the boundaries between people appear blurred, creating a fascinating and enjoyable visual effect! It’s a popular dance performed at various events, so why not take this opportunity to give it a try?
