Preschool Graduation Ideas: Planning for the Big Day!

It’s that time of year and you need to start thinking about preschool graduation ideas ! Where do you begin??  

Whether it’s your first year teaching or you just want to mix things up a bit (sick of singing the same songs year after year?), The Preschool Professor has lots of preschool graduation ideas for you!

Let's talk about the bigger considerations and then we'll look at the details of the program and the many resources to help you plan your Graduation Ceremony!

The details of your graduation program will be easier to plan once you've decided on the bigger, "logistical" pieces.  

We need to consider and plan "The 5 W's and the H" of preschool graduation ideas and planning!

Let's Get Started!

The 5 W's And the H of Preschool Graduation Ideas!

What?!  Well, as when we plan any presentation, we need to look at:

• Who and 

1.  Why? Celebrating Milestones!

The transition from preschool to kindergarten marks a very important step in a child’s life. It is only appropriate to celebrate this moment with an event that will be as memorable as the rest of the year was.

2.  Where?  Location, Location, Location!

The first thing you will want to decide is the location where you will hold the preschool graduation ceremony.  You have many options for location for preschool graduation ideas!  Deciding on where will depend on how many people will be attending.  Many times grandparents, aunts, uncles, and neighbors may be invited in addition to the preschooler and his or her direct family!  The location you choose will need to accommodate seating for everyone!

You may have few or many choices available.  Some might be:

• In your classroom
• In a larger room (such as the cafeteria, gymnasium or other room in your facility).
• In a local facility such as the local high school or church
• In your playground!
• Outside is a great idea if you can do it!  You can set up chairs for families and have a fun, informal but moving ceremony. 

If you choose outside, consider ahead of time the following:

Access to an electrical outlet (for a microphone, DVD player or CD player).

Back-up plan for inclement weather (where inside can you move it to if it rains?).

My personal preference is a location that is already familiar to the children.  Remember, they are still preschoolers and new places and environments are sometimes difficult to adapt to.  It creates anxiety and nervousness in many children (and adults)!

When I directed a preschool in a church, we used to have the celebration in the Sanctuary.  There was plenty of room for families to sit (in the pews) and the children were higher up in the chancel area (you know, that area where the Pastor stands during Sunday worship service).

This was the tradition for years.  We would all go upstairs for rehearsals often before the big day.

One year, we were not able to use the Sanctuary.  The carpets had some issues and were being replaced it was off limits to everyone for the week!

EEK!  Panic!  Our only other option was to hold the ceremony in the "big room" (as the children called it) just outside the classroom.

This was the Fellowship Hall of the church.  It is a room we used for an "indoor playground" in bad weather.  

After the ceremony, so many parents (who had children in our preschool program over the years) commented on how much they LOVED having graduation in this room instead of in the Sanctuary!

The children were more comfortable because it was a familiar space to them.  The parents felt it was more intimate because they weren't so far away from where they children were standing!  It became the new tradition from that year on!

Ultimately, you will need to decide the spaces available to you and once you make that decision, you can move on to the next "W" of preschool graduation ideas and planning....

3.  When?  Setting the Day and Time

This is another piece that leave us with many options to choose from.  What day do you have the program on?  During the week?  On a Saturday?  And what time of day do you hold it?  During class time?  In the evening?  This will depend on who is planning to attend.

During the Preschool Hours

Some teachers prefer to schedule a short but sweet ceremony during the last preschool day. 

The advantage is that you know that most of your students will be there as arrangements are already made for their children to be at school at that time.  But, in my opinion, this is the BOLD ONLY benefit.  

Their are many disadvantages to this (and the reason why we hold an evening graduation):

Parents may not be able to get time off from their jobs during the day or

Only one parent will be able to get time off and attend

Other family members (Grandparents especially!) LOVE to attend these celebrations of milestones and may not be able to attend during the day.

During a Weekend

Many preschools hold their celebrations on a Saturday or Sunday.  They are planned (the date) in advance so that families are aware at the beginning of the year.

This can work out very well.  However, you will need to consider the time of year.  May and June are a very busy time for many other graduations as well such as High School and College Graduations.  In addition, many schools have field days or other gatherings for their students and schools at this time of year.

Many of your preschoolers will have siblings, cousins or other family members who have these events going on.  So, weekends can be tricky in May and June.

Evening Celebration

Many preschools plan their celebration for an evening.  This has been the option that has worked best for us over the years.

The considerations for an evening celebration is the timing.  It is usually best if held after dinner time and being certain it ends before preschool bedtime!

This has been the option that worked best for us through the years.  We held the celebration from 6:00-7:30. One hour for the program and 1/2 hour for hanging out together and enjoying some snackage!

Once you have the location, the day and the time decided (and honestly, I recommend that you decide on this at the beginning of each school year!), you are ready to move on to the next "W" of preschool graduation ideas and planning.......

4.  What?  Informing and Communicating the Program with Families

You may have just recently chosen the day, time and place.  You may have chosen it at the beginning of the year and sent it out on your annual event calendar.

Regardless, it is time to begin the stream of communication about the details of your program!

What is the best way to do this?  ANY and EVERY way you can!  Do not solely rely on the newsletter---you know, the one that is sometimes found in the bottom of the backpack or in their cubbies or mailboxes weeks after it was distributed?  ;)

As with any communications, each parent has their own way of receiving information so utilize them all:

• Highlight it front page and center in your newsletter
• Post a colorful notice (use balloons if you want to!) on the door parents use to come in and out of the program.
• Send emails to all parents
• Post it on your Facebook Page
• Tweet about it!
• Postal Mail  This is the most important:  Use snail mail!  What?  You know, the good old-fashioned "Mail an Invitation!"!  

Address it to the family and list the return address as the preschool with the child's name as well:

Billy Preschooler

ABC Preschool

123 Main St.

Anytown, Your country 12345

Trust me, families WILL see and open this letter!

There are sooo many choices and ways to create invitations!  I have listed them on the Preschool Graduation Resource page (coming soon!)!

So now you know where you will hold the celebration, the day and time and have sent out invitations.  But HOW will you pull it all together?  Glad you asked!  Let's move on to the next "W" of preschool graduation ideas and planning.. ...

5.  Who?  Many Hands make Light Work!

This proverb is very true!  The more help you have, the more successful and fun your celebration will be! Assign tasks from your graduation ideas list or program to families!  Don't become a one engine train (or control freak!  ;)  ) about this!  

This is a celebration...for everyone involved:  The children, the families and the teachers and staff!  Let's plan together!

Decide on tasks you can assign to others such as:

• Snacks:   A sign-up process for snacks for the graduation day (ask a parent to call parents to sign people up for snacks, plates, cups, napkins, tablecloths, etc.)
• Decorations:  Will your director order them?  Do you have some from previous years?  Also, have the children create some artwork to hang on the walls!
• Props:  Are your children singing songs or acting out a short play?  Ask families to create or gather the props you will need either for the scenery, costumes or to go along with the songs.
• Set-up:  Do you need folding chairs or tables?  Ask parents to loan them to you!
• Clean-up:  Can a family member or two stay a little later to help clean up after the program?  For that matter, can any come early to set up??!

Share the excitement, including sharing the tasks!  There are so many details you can delegate.  There are so many details that can overwhelm you.....bringing us to our final consideration....the "H" in preschool graduation planning ideas...

6.  How?  Keeping It Real without Really Losing Your Mind!

First let me direct you back to the first section of this page:  The "Why".

Don't forget WHY you are doing this!  It is to celebrate!  To enjoy the growth and development of your preschoolers--their skills AND their friendships throughout the year!  And, for many of the students, it is a time to say goodbye...the most bittersweet of the "Why".

Let's remember what your graduation program is NOT for:

• It is NOT to impress parents or families with our amazing recreations of Pinterest ideas (though--go for it if you enjoy it!).
• It is NOT to have the children "pull off" a "perfect" program!
• It is NOT to (sorry......but it should be said!) "show off" our mad skills on how well we got children to "memorize, repeat and behavie" for 45 minutes to an hour!

Relax!  Enjoy this time with the students who have stolen your heart for the past year or more!  Enjoy this time with the families who have entrusted their children to you for the past year or more!

Enjoy planning a program that reflects your children's interests and abilities; your program's mission and that allows you all to celebrate this milestone together!

With that said.....it's time to brainstorm more preschool graduation ideas for your Graduation Celebration!

Planning The Program Details:   Preschool Graduation Ideas and Resources

Here are some pages for you to check out.  I hope you find them helpful!  If you have additional preschool graduation ideas to add to any of these pages, please share them!  You will find a submission form at the bottom of each of the pages in which you can share your ideas!  The more we share, the better prepared we are!

How to Host a Memorable Preschool Graduation

• brightwheel

Preschool graduation is an essential milestone in a child's life. Graduating from preschool means a child is one step closer to starting kindergarten, which is a significant accomplishment. It's also a time for families to celebrate how far their child has come.

Preschool graduations give children a chance to show off the skills they have learned in the past year. Families get the opportunity to experience first-hand what their child has achieved throughout their time at preschool. 

Preschool graduation is a special day and there are a lot of things to consider when planning this event. This guide offers a few ideas to help make the day memorable.

Celebrating milestones: Preschool graduation

Preschool graduation marks a pivotal milestone in a child's educational journey, celebrating their growth and the foundational skills they've acquired. This event not only signifies an important transition but also sets the stage for the beginning of a new and exciting chapter.

Preschool graduations are significant events that:

Celebrate children’s developmental milestones : A preschool graduation ceremony is a celebration, as it signifies children's ability to learn, grow, and take on more responsibility. It also shows that children are meeting developmental milestones, an essential step in children's lives that is worth celebrating.

Honor children and families for their time at your center : Preschool graduations are a chance to celebrate the children, families, and teachers who have worked together to make children’s learning and time at your center successful. 

• Acknowledge teacher and family partnerships : Preschool graduations are also times to acknowledge the strong home-to-school connection that teachers and families have achieved. It is also an opportunity for families to consider how they can continue supporting their child's educational goals after they move on from preschool.

With brightwheel, you can strengthen relationships between staff and families with things like real-time messaging and daily reports . The app makes it easy for families to get in touch with you, and staff can quickly send messages, SMS alerts, or engaging newsletters to families.

Components of a preschool graduation ceremony

Preschool graduation ceremonies are special occasions that recognize young learners' achievements and readiness for the next step in their educational path. Here, we explore the essential components that make up a memorable preschool graduation ceremony:

• Speeches: The preschool administrator or director generally congratulates children on their hard work and dedication to the school. They can talk about what children have learned in the past year and how it has helped them grow. They may also talk about what the future holds for them and give advice to families.
• Receiving diplomas: The presentation of a preschool diploma is usually simple, with each child receiving a certificate from the school. The school may also present children with other mementos that symbolize their success. Families also sometimes bring gifts for their children, accompanied by a photo session.

Special school traditions: Traditions vary from school to school; this can be anything from a special song or dance performance to a more formal procession. Regardless of the specifics, these traditions are fun and memorable ways to mark the occasion.

Preschool graduation ideas

To help organize your event, consider choosing a preschool graduation theme with relevant activities that showcase what children have learned in the past year. The theme sets the tone for the ceremony and can transform a simple graduation into a captivating event that children, families, and teachers will remember for years to come.

Consider involving families and children in the planning process to build community and engagement with your program. They can assist with decorating the space, choosing the music, preparing refreshments, and cleaning up after the event.

Once you settle on a particular theme, incorporate it into every aspect of the event to make it fun and memorable for children. Here are ten ideas to consider for your preschool graduation ceremony.

1. Under the sea

This is a great way to bring the beauty of the ocean and its many creatures to the event. Here are some ideas to help bring this theme to life:

• Decorate the graduation venue with blue and green streamers, balloons, and other under-the-sea-themed decorations
• Give out seashells or other under-the-sea-themed favors to the graduates 

2. Out of this world 

This theme is a great way to inspire children to reach for the stars and celebrate their stellar achievements. Some ideas for decorating this theme include:

• Hanging planet and star decorations from the ceiling
• Setting up a rocket ship as a backdrop
• Making space-themed crafts such as aliens, UFOs, and telescopes

3. Exploring the future

This theme is all about showing a future full of possibilities. Some popular activities include:

• Having the children wear costumes inspired by their favorite futuristic movie or TV show
• Playing games that reflect what life will be like in the future
• Using virtual reality to “transport” your children to a different world for their big day

4. Growing garden

Just like a blooming plant, the growing garden theme represents the growth and development of the children over the past year. It can also be a reminder of the importance of learning and growing. Here are a few tips on how to prepare for this theme: 

• Choose a location that has plenty of green space, such as a neighborhood park
• Decorate the space with flowers and plants 
• Use garden-themed props such as watering cans, baskets, and flower pots

5. Alphabet theme

An alphabet theme is a great way to incorporate learning into the festivities and will put your children’s letter knowledge on display. 

• Decorate your venue with alphabet letter balloons
• Sing songs that teach the alphabet, such as The Alphabet Song
• Create awards for each child that correspond to a letter of the alphabet. For example, the "A" award can be for being an "amazing artist", the "B" award can be for being a "brave helper", and so on
• You can also serve alphabet-themed food like alphabet soup

6. Reading books

A book-themed graduation ceremony is a great way to encourage a love for reading. Consider one book that your children have read the past year and use it as a base for your decor.

For example, children can dress up as their favorite book characters, and the ceremony can end with everyone reading aloud from their favorite book. Additionally, you can end the ceremony with a book-themed graduation song, such as The Reading Song or The More We Read Together.

7. Road trip 

A road trip-themed graduation ceremony is a great way to celebrate the end of preschool and the beginning of summer vacation. The decor can be based on popular travel destinations, and the graduate program can include activities related to road trips. Alternatively, the ceremony can have a special "road trip" down the graduation aisle, with children riding in toy cars or buses. 

8. Rainbow theme

What better way to celebrate than with a rainbow-themed graduation party? Imagine a sea of little graduates in their caps and gowns, each adorned with ribbons of different colors of the rainbow. Create this theme with plenty of colorful balloons, streamers, and tablecloths. And, of course, no graduation party is complete without a delicious cake, so be sure to include a rainbow cake in your plans!

9. Nature theme

Use animal prints, greenery, and rustic props like tree stumps and wooden signs for a nature-inspired theme. You can set up a mini zoo with stuffed animals or animal masks, or you can organize a nature walk with the children to explore the local flora and fauna. You can also have a storytelling session with animal-themed books.

10. Circus-themed ceremony 

For this theme, you can organize games, such as a ring toss, beanbag toss, or balloon darts, to keep the children entertained. You can also set up a photo booth with circus-themed props such as clown noses, mustaches, and hats so children can take photos with their friends and family. This is a great way to celebrate the children's accomplishments and send them off to kindergarten with a bang.

Sample preschool graduation program

Having an organized timeline can help you plan your graduation ceremony and activities. Even a very simple program can still create a memorable and engaging experience. Below is a sample program you can use to plan your event and adjust to suit the needs of your school's culture: 

• 8:00 am: Processional by the graduating class.  The preschool staff will begin the ceremony by leading the children's procession, with each child escorted by a family member.
• 8:05 am: Welcome speech.  Once everyone is seated, the preschool director will welcome children and guests. 
• 8:10 am: Performance.  Usually the preschool class will be prepared to sing a short song or perform a simple dance.
• 8:15 am: Presentation of diplomas.  After the performance, it’s time for children to receive their diplomas, presented by the preschool staff. Families can also come up on stage for a photo session.
• 8:45 am: Final speech.  To wrap things up, the preschool director will thank families for their support throughout the year and end on an inspirational note. 
• 8:50 am: Reception.  End the day with a small reception with refreshments.

Preschool graduation checklist

Here are some items to include on your preschool graduation checklist:

• Decorations 
• Graduation gowns
• Graduation caps
• Diplomas 
• Invitations 
• Refreshments
• Cameras and video cameras
• Gifts for children (optional)

Bottom line 

Graduating from preschool is a significant milestone for children and their families. It marks the end of an essential phase of their lives and the beginning of a new one.

When children graduate from preschool, they have their first taste of real achievement and are proud of what they’ve accomplished. With creativity and preparation, you can pull off a preschool graduation ceremony that both children and families will appreciate and remember forever.

30 Adorable Kindergarten Graduation Ideas for a Day They’ll Always Remember

Celebrate your students!

Looking for creative and memorable ways to celebrate the end of kindergarten with your students? Look no further! We have a list of kindergarten graduation ideas that you can add to your plans. Whether your school has an official graduation ceremony or not, there are plenty of exciting and fun ways to commemorate your students’ achievements and growth throughout the year. From DIY decorations to graduation-themed games and activities, this list has everything you need to make your students’ graduation day a truly special and meaningful event.

1. Hold a graduation ceremony

One of my favorite things at the end of each year is to watch my students put on their fancy clothes/cap and gown and receive a small rolled-up piece of paper to celebrate the end of the year. We sing a few songs and recite a poem or two. Parents are overjoyed and it’s a great time for all.

2. Hand out certificates or diplomas

Whether you hold a graduation or not, you can print off Kindergarten Graduate Certificates for your students. I give them away after graduation or put them in their end-of-the-year baggies with goodies that I send home like a memory book.

Buy it: Keri Brown

3. Have a photo booth frame

Creating a DIY graduation photo frame can be a fun and inexpensive way for students to showcase their graduation photos and memories.

4. Put together a slideshow

Gather all the pictures you’ve taken over the year and turn them into a kindergarten slideshow. For years, I would make DVDs of the pictures for parents to take home. Now, I make the video and turn it into a QR code. No worries about messing up a DVD. They can play the video for years to come.

5. Decorate the classroom

Decorate the classroom for graduation day. If the graduation ceremony is in your classroom, add colorful paper, arrange the chairs for students and families, and wish them well with simple grad decor.

6. Make a time capsule

Students can make a time capsule for their senior graduation. Parents can donate a shoebox, then students can fill it with their favorite things and memories from kindergarten. It’s a simple and very memorable idea to save for when they graduate high school.

7. Invite families

I send a letter to invite families and friends to our kindergarten graduation or ceremony. It helps to build a little excitement.

8. Create class T-shirts

Self-portrait class shirts will be a keepsake that they’ll never forget. Students can draw themselves and then turn each drawing into a class shirt. How cute are these?

9. Host a kindergarten picnic

Have a picnic with all the kindergarten classes. Students can bring cookies, snacks, and juice to have a nice picnic outside with friends.

10. Make a memory book

Creating a kindergarten memory book is a wonderful way for students to preserve and cherish their memories of their first year of school.

Learn more: Sweet Sounds of Kindergarten

11. Write personalized notes

At the end of each year, I write a short note to each student. It can be a memory that we had together, something I really enjoyed about their personality, or just saying how much I loved having them in my classroom. I usually write these in their memory books, but you can put them anywhere. I found a wonderful example from Keepin’ It Kool in KinderLand.

12. Create a graduation wall

A graduation wall can help students look toward the future. Have them take a picture with a sign. Then, you can add each picture to your editing software of choice and add what they want to be when they grow up in the font of your choice. This is perfect for those with less-than-stellar handwriting. Print the pictures off and you’ve got a wall to celebrate!

13. Celebrate with songs

Looking for song ideas for your kindergarten graduation? Sing and dance to one or more of these tunes from our list of the best graduation songs .

14. Hold a talent show

End the year with a showcase of your students’ amazing talents. Invite the entire school to come to watch.

15. Read graduation books

Reading a kindergarten graduation book to students can be a fun and engaging activity that helps to build excitement and anticipation for the graduation ceremony. It can also provide an opportunity for students to reflect on their growth and achievements over the past year.

16. Take cap-and-gown photos

Take photos of your students in their caps and gowns. I take my own cap-and-gown pictures and add them to our end-of-the-year slideshow. I’ve also made really cute fridge magnets out of the pictures for parents.

17. Make DIY graduation gifts

8 Nursery and Preschool Graduation Ceremony Ideas

Whether it’s your first year as a nursery school teacher or your pre-school is venturing into the wonderful world of nursery graduation ceremonies , see our list of preschool graduation ideas and give your students a milestone to look back on in the future.

1. Choose a Fun Theme

Be creative with their big day and get everyone involved with a theme. This is helpful when choosing activities and planning the graduation programme. Will it be ‘What do you want to be when you grow up’ or ‘Futuristic’ or even based on a specific subject like ‘History’ or ‘Authors’. If your preschool has a topic close to their heart then make it personal and make sure all the students get involved and are excited.

2. Create Your Own Diploma Certificates

Make each student a diploma to take home and treasure as a memento. Adding a personalised message for each student is great and really shows the parents how much you care. It could be a new skill they’ve learnt or something they overcame in the year. Preschool children love receiving certificates and will fill them with joy and a sense of accomplishment.

3. Have a Preschool Graduation Song Sing-a-long

It can be a nursery rhyme, an Elton John classic, or (if you can handle it) Baby Shark. Having a sing-a-long or performance from your nursery students is always fun and warms the hearts of many proud parents, guardians and family, helping build the perfect occasion. The song can match your chosen theme or be straight out of a Disney favourite like Bare Necessities or Toy Stories ‘You’ve got a friend in me’.

4. Slideshow of Memories

If you have permission to gather memories throughout the year and show them on a slideshow presentation for the adults to admire and see what their little ones get up to in preschool. Another way to get parents permission is to ask them to send in snaps so you can make a memory reel of your students who graduated this year. Choose the right soundtrack and share your experiences of each child – there won’t be a dry eye in the house!

5. ‘I Want to be a ____ When I Grow Up’ Wall

Ask each of your nursery children what they want to be when they grow up and create a big wall with their drawings and answers to show the world. This is always a special memory to look back on and is fun for the children. When the children are collecting their special award you can always include it on the certificate. For example, ‘Congratulations to Charlie Foster for graduating nursery and good luck with your job as an astronaut when you grow up’.

6. Preschool Graduation Goodie Bags

What’s a celebration without a goodie bag?! As well as a diploma certificate, reward the children with a bag full of goodies to say well done for doing well in the year. These can be as simple as a colouring book, crayons and some treats. You can even tie them in with your graduation ceremony theme idea. Be as creative as you like, the kids will love it.

7. Share A Few of My Favourite Things

Let the children share a few of their favourite things! It can be their favourite colour or favourite food, give them a chance to speak in front of an audience about themselves. This will be a great way to help them develop an important life skill. If you have some shy ones in the class then you can help them read it out. Another idea is to put them on a ‘Wall of Favourite Things’ with their handprint and a photo.

8. Focus on Fun with your Nursery Graduation Ceremony!

Planning a graduation day for your nursery class should be fun and a time for celebrating the achievements of the little ones you look after. Whatever you decide to include in your graduation programme, you know the parents and guardians will be full of pride looking up at their little ones in mini graduation gowns and hats .

Crafting personalized photo frames is a creative way to display memories from the preschool year. It’s a perfect craft for a preschool graduation, allowing kids and parents to cherish their favorite moments.

Materials Required: Popsicle sticks, glue, paint, markers, and decorations (stickers, glitter, etc.).

How to Make:

• Glue four popsicle sticks together to form a square frame.
• Once the glue is dry, paint the frame in the child’s favorite color.
• Decorate the frame with markers, stickers, or glitter.
• Add a photo from the preschool year or a graduation picture.

2. Graduation Cap Crafts

Creating paper graduation caps is a memorable keepsake for kids. This craft symbolizes their achievement and is perfect for preschool graduation crafts.

Materials Required: Black construction paper, yarn, cardboard, glue, and scissors.

• Cut a square piece of cardboard for the top of the cap.
• Cut a strip of black paper to make the base of the cap; wrap it around the child’s head to measure, then glue the ends together.
• Glue the cardboard square to the top of the paper base.
• Attach a yarn tassel to the center of the cardboard square.

3. Handprint Art

Handprint art captures the child’s growth and is a touching idea for preschool graduation. It’s a personal gift that parents will treasure.

Materials Required: Paint, paper or canvas, and markers.

• Paint the child’s hand with their choice of color.
• Press their hand onto the paper or canvas firmly.
• Once dry, add the child’s name, date, and a sweet message with markers.

4. Memory Books

Crafting personalized memory books is a wonderful way to preserve memories from the preschool year. It’s one of the most heartfelt ideas for preschool graduation.

Materials Required: Construction paper or a blank notebook, photos, glue, markers, and stickers.

• Choose a notebook or create a book with construction paper.
• Decorate each page with photos, drawings, and stickers.
• Write captions or memories next to each photo or drawing.

5. Thank You Cards

Handmade thank you cards allow children to express gratitude to their teachers and parents. It’s a meaningful addition to preschool graduation ideas.

Materials Required: Cardstock, markers, stickers, and any other decorative items.

• Fold cardstock to create a card.
• Decorate the front with drawings, stickers, or a simple message.
• Help the child write a thank you note to their teacher or parent.

1. Photo Booth with Props

Setting up a themed photo booth is a fun way to capture big-day memories. You can use props like graduation caps, glasses, and signs with “Grad” or funny messages. It’s a great activity that lets kids and families take home a special souvenir from the preschool graduation. Set up a corner with a backdrop and a camera, and let the fun begin!

2. Time Capsule

Creating a class time capsule is a unique way to remember the preschool year. Ask each child to contribute something small, like a drawing, a note, or a favorite toy. Explain that the capsule will be opened when they graduate high school. It’s a magical way to connect the past with the future and make the preschool graduation memorable.

3. Graduation Parade

A small parade with the graduates in their caps and gowns is a wonderful way to celebrate their achievements. You can have them march around the school or a designated area, waving to their families and friends. It’s a proud moment for everyone and a fun activity that makes the children feel special on graduation day.

4. Award Ceremony

Recognizing each child’s unique contributions and achievements is important. An award ceremony can highlight academic achievements, kindness, creativity, and friendship. Give certificates or small trophies to make each child feel valued and celebrated. It’s a touching addition to the preschool graduation that emphasizes each child’s individuality.

5. Story Time

Reading a special book that reflects on the journey of growth and learning is a calming and meaningful activity. Choose a book about transitions, new beginnings, or the value of friendship. It’s a gentle way to wrap up the preschool experience and get the children thinking about their next adventure in learning. Storytime can be a quiet moment amidst the excitement of graduation day.

1. Diploma Sandwich Rolls

Create edible diplomas by tying up tortilla sandwiches with a chive or thin strip of bell pepper. These make for a fun and thematic snack that resembles little diplomas. Choose fillings popular with kids, like turkey and cheese or peanut butter and jelly.

2. Cap and Gown Fruit Skewers

Assemble fruit skewers using strawberries and a mini marshmallow on top to resemble graduation caps. Use a variety of fruits for the skewers to add color and healthiness to your snack table. These skewers are delicious and a festive addition to any preschool graduation party.

3. Bookworm Apple Slices

Cut apples into thin slices and arrange them on a plate to look like a bookworm. Use grapes or small berries for the eyes and a thin slice of strawberry for the mouth. This snack is a playful nod to learning and reading, perfect for a graduation-themed celebration.

4. Pencil Cheese Sticks

Transform string cheese sticks into pencils by carving one end to a point and adding a small piece of bell pepper or tomato skin as the eraser. You can use edible markers to draw ruler lines on the cheese to enhance the pencil look. These are simple, healthy, and thematic snacks that will surely delight the little graduates.

Bake your favorite cupcakes and frost them. Use a square piece of chocolate (like a Ghirardelli square) for the cap and attach a mini M&M with a small piece of licorice or frosting for the tassel. These cupcakes are a sweet treat that perfectly fits the graduation theme and serves as a delicious dessert for guests.

As we wrap up our exploration of preschool graduation ideas, remember that the key to a memorable celebration lies in the joy and pride of our little graduates. Whether through creative themes, heartfelt crafts, engaging activities, thoughtful gifts, or delicious snacks, each idea is designed to make this milestone unforgettable. Let these ideas inspire you to create a preschool graduation that celebrates the unique journey of every child.

Preschool Graduation Songs Perfect for End of the Year Slideshows

Shared by Mary Catherine 51 Comments

These preschool graduation songs are just what you’re looking for when making end of the year slideshows. Be sure to save them to play while working on some preschool graduation activities.

Making a few special items for our preschool students at the end of the year is pretty much a tradition. There’s also one big thing we do for the parents, and that’s a slideshow with sweet end of the year songs to go along with pictures of the kiddos from the preschool year.

We also like to put together an individualized DVD slideshow for each child, or a collection of the photo files collected over the year. A  preschool portfolio for each of the kiddos is a well-loved treat for the children and parents, alike.  They really show how much they’ve grown over the year.

At our end of the year “graduation”, we like to include a slideshow of all the pre-k kids throughout the year.  Here’s where the end of the year songs come in.

For all of these slideshows, I always search for songs that are “just right”, sometimes stressing over which songs to include.

Table of Contents

Preschool Graduation Songs for End of the Year Slideshows

Below is a list of songs that I’ve come across that are a great fit for your own preschool graduation songs.  I think these songs are perfect for pre-k and kindergarten graduations, but they’re also suitable for other grades!

I don’t generally use all of these songs on one slideshow.  Rather, they’re a list of possibilities to pick and choose from.

I tried to include direct links to each song if possible.  Otherwise, the link is to the entire album.

What a Wonderful World   by   Louis Armstrong

Count on Me  by Bruno Mars

93 Million Miles  by Jason Mraz

Sunshine Medley  by Greg & Steve

To Remember  by Josh Kelley

Sing Together  by Train

You’re My Best Friend by Queen

Lean on Me  by Bill Withers

We’re Going to Be Friends by  Jack Johnson or by  The White Stripes

This Little Light of Mine  by Addison Road

Over the Rainbow  by Israel Kamakawiwo’ole

Life is a Highway by  Tom Cochrane or by  Rascal Flatts

We Are Family  by Sister Sledge

Let Them Be Little by  Billy Dean or by  Lonestar

You and Me  by Dave Matthews Band

Little Wonders  by Rob Thomas

Celebration  by Kool and The Gang

These are just some of my favorite preschool graduation songs for end of the year slideshows.  I’m sure there are a ton more out there!

End-of-Year Classroom Gifts

At the close of each year, I like to thank my students for giving me the pleasure of spending time with them, teaching them, and having a ton of fun while doing it. It’s important to note that , myself, learn new things with every set of students that comes through my classroom. So, as a thank you to my students, I like to send them off with a small token of my appreciation – a gift. Often times, I will personalize whatever item I choose with a little phrase or saying related to the item.

Only you know the dynamics of your classroom and students. So, you will know the perfect gift for your students. But here are some of my personal favorites (I may get commissions for purchases made through links in this post):

• Temporary tattoos
• Color-your-own cups
• Crazy straws
• Personalized, beaded keychains or bracelets
• Kids’ sunglasses
• Buckets filled with small trinkets
• Small jars of slime (made in class, or course!)

Remember. An end-of-school year gift is not a necessity. In the past, I have held an additional celebration, outside of their graduation ceremonies, to celebrate my students and all of their accomplishments. I planned an activity that I know they all loved (a water play day!) to show them my appreciation and pride in them.

Finishing another year of preschool, for both student and teacher, is really an accomplishment and should be celebrated as such. So, it really doesn’t matter what you do as long as you celebrate the time you’ve had with your students!

Thank you for this list. I will be sure to refer to it next year. Last week I was stuck for choices but at the last minute, I chose the following four songs that worked really well:

1. Greatest Love by Whitney Houston 2.. I Can Fly by R. Kelley 3. True Colours by Phil Collins 4. I Hope You Dance by Leanne Womack

June 25, 2013 at 11:17 am

Thanks, Erika! I appreciate your song suggestions — I’m always looking to add to my list!! Those are definitely good choices for the end of the year, as well.

March 7, 2016 at 5:21 am

I used the song In The Eyes of a Child by Air Supply for a pre school graduation slide show.

March 9, 2016 at 9:12 pm

Ooooh, that’s a sweet one too! Thanks for the suggestion!

June 24, 2013 at 9:48 pm

I like “Unwritten” by Natasha Bedingfield, “I Hope You Dance” by Lee Ann Womack, and “These Are the Days” by Keith Urban

June 25, 2013 at 11:18 am

Oh, Lori, thanks for your song ideas too! I’m not sure how I forgot “Unwritten”, and the 2 others would be great too. 🙂

June 25, 2013 at 12:30 am

I always use the song, “My Wish” by Rascal Flatts for the part of the slideshow that shows how much they’ve grown since the beginning of the year. The words to that song are just perfect!!

June 25, 2013 at 11:19 am

Oh, that song is just beautiful too! Thanks for the idea, Katie! 🙂

June 25, 2013 at 9:39 am

Great list, you’ve got all my favs on there 🙂 Thanks for sharing!

June 25, 2013 at 11:16 am

Thanks, Vanessa! 🙂

July 30, 2013 at 9:48 pm

I am so happy I found this site – I always spend HOURS finding the perfect end of the year songs to play. I have used a number of these songs in our end of the year slideshow. I love, love, love the Billy Joel “Let Them Be Little”, especially since my students grow so much (2-3 years old!). Of course my mind is blanking right now on the other songs I have used (that are not on the list) but I know we have used t Best of Friends from Disney Fox and the Hound a song from the Curious George sound track also about friends “On My Way” From Disney’s Brother Bear

August 5, 2013 at 9:24 pm

Yay, I’m so glad this was helpful!! And thank you for the additional song ideas. I love that we can all share ideas like this — it’s just going to make those of the year celebrations that much better. 🙂

March 25, 2014 at 9:40 pm

You might want to add “ordinary Miricle” by Sarah McLachlan. I cry every time.

May 17, 2014 at 10:09 pm

Oh I need to listen to that one again, but I’m sure I’ll get teary too!!

April 11, 2014 at 5:33 am

The house at pooh corner by kenny loggins will make you cry it’s so tender and appropriate. I may make a play list of this just to listen to while planning and working on end of the year report cards!

May 14, 2014 at 11:37 pm

Oh, Stacie, I’m going to have to run off and listen to that soon. Thanks so much for adding to this list! I’m creating an end of the year slideshow this weekend and would love to try out some new songs.

April 11, 2014 at 9:56 pm

I always start with the Tarzan song “You’ll Be in my Heart” – another Phil Colins. The beginning words are perfect!

“Come stop your crying It will be alright Just take my hand Hold it tight”

May 14, 2014 at 11:39 pm

Another great suggestion, Tracie! Those words are a great way to start off the end of the year playlist. Thanks so much!

May 7, 2014 at 10:43 pm

I use a few of the songs mentioned but I also use Hannah Montana The Climb. I love it in my DVD. Thanks for the other suggestions!

May 14, 2014 at 11:53 pm

I hadn’t thought of that one, but I can see how it would be great. Thanks so much for your suggestion! 🙂

May 9, 2014 at 2:20 pm

One I am loving/using this year is “I Lived” by One Republic!

May 14, 2014 at 11:54 pm

Thanks for the idea, Jenna! I’m going to have to think about adding that to my playlist this year. 🙂

May 14, 2014 at 2:15 pm

Thank you for putting this helpful list together. Love reading all the other suggestions as well. Great blog 🙂

Thanks so much! I loved reading all of the suggestions, too! 🙂

May 18, 2014 at 1:20 pm

One of my favorite good-bye songs. Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life) by Green Day.

May 18, 2014 at 7:29 pm

Thanks, Angel! I think that’s a great one to add to the list. 🙂

May 18, 2014 at 8:50 pm

Great List – I can’t wait to add some of these, I have That’s What Friends Are For from the Jungle Book, Happy by Pharrell and Butterfly Fly Away from the Hannah Montana Soundtrack. Thanks all for sharing! Michelle

May 18, 2014 at 9:06 pm

Thanks, Michelle! I’m glad to have even more song suggestions for the list. 🙂

May 20, 2014 at 6:15 am

Great list! Never Grow Up by Taylor Swift is one I’ve used for fifth grade moving up that would be darling for preschool!

May 26, 2014 at 2:05 am

these Are All Great Suggestions. My Favorite “Time Of Our Life” By Gree Day.

May 26, 2014 at 8:55 am

Thanks Valerie! I had so many wonderful suggestions from my readers that I compiled a list of 25 more end of the year songs. I made sure to include Green Day’s “Time of Your Life”! 🙂

May 28, 2014 at 8:21 pm

Friends are friends forever. Matthew West

May 3, 2015 at 9:40 pm

Make new Friends. When You Wish Upon a Star and The Goodbye Song

May 3, 2015 at 10:51 pm

We started using “So Long, Farewell” from the Sound of Music. We choreograph it in a way that our PreKs leave their seats, walk forward and wave, then go up on stage for a final goodbye, by the time the music ends. This is a great list!

May 5, 2015 at 8:42 pm

my year end slideshow always begins with “Getting to Know You” by James Taylor from the King and I and ends with “You’ve Gotta Friend In Me”! The music in the middle changes from year to year. Thanks for the great ideas!

May 16, 2015 at 12:59 am

I always use; Take that- never forget Heather smalls- proud Miley Cyrus- the climb Script and will I am- hall of fame You raise me up- found a lovely Irish version

May 31, 2015 at 7:23 am

Did you mention what program you use? I had a favorite on my old desktop, when it crashed the program went with it. It was so old…… The format for the new program didn’t even seem the same!

June 21, 2015 at 8:46 pm

This year my preschoolers did the song “You’ve got a friend in Me”” in sign language. I taught myself from the internet then the kids. Everyone loved it!!

June 25, 2015 at 2:07 pm

How fun is that?!

May 3, 2016 at 8:57 pm

Thank you for this list! I love all of your choices! I wish I knew how to make a DVD slideshow. I have a macbook pro and I take lots of pics of my students. I just haven’t learned how to make a slideshow yet. Check out the song “Little Hands” by Jonathan Edwards. It would also be perfect for a preschool slideshow.

July 23, 2016 at 5:48 pm

Thanks so much for the song suggestion! There are so many video slideshow programs out there – which are available for Macs?

March 6, 2017 at 10:34 pm

Life is a Highway….”Tom” Cochrane not John

March 7, 2017 at 1:37 pm

Oh my word, I must bow my head in shame. I know that . . . not sure why I wrote the wrong name! Off to fix. You’re awesome for letting me know. 😉

May 20, 2017 at 7:29 am

FOREVER YOUNG by The Tenors, not similar to Rod Stewart’s song, is so perfect. If you hadn’t heard this, listen to it before you use your old favorites!

May 30, 2017 at 2:05 pm

Such a great addition, thank you! 🙂

May 21, 2017 at 6:56 pm

Everything Grows, By Raffi

Thanks a Lot, by Raffi

May 22, 2017 at 12:16 am

Yes, such a good one! 🙂

May 9, 2021 at 3:22 pm

Not sure if this has been suggested, if not, “Let Them Be Little,” sung by Billy Dean

July 28, 2021 at 5:13 pm

That’s a great one, thank you! 🙂

May 30, 2021 at 10:03 am

I used “On My Way” by Phil Collins and “What I Am” by Will.I.Am to keep it upbeat. I thought about using “Never Grow Up” by Taylor Swift but I knew I’d cry. 🙂

June 21, 2021 at 11:16 am

Those are awesome song suggestions!! And I cry every single time!

Learn more about the map styles

Each map type offers different information and each map style is designed for a different purpose. Read about the styles and map projection used in the above map (Physical Map of Novosibirsk).

Physical map

Physical map illustrates the mountains, lowlands, oceans, lakes and rivers and other physical landscape features of Novosibirsk. Differences in land elevations relative to the sea level are represented by color.

Green color represents lower elevations, orange or brown indicate higher elevations, shades of grey are used for the highest mountain ranges in the world. Underwater topography is represented by blues. Darker blues are used for the deepest water, lighter shades of blue represent shallower water such as the continental shelf.

Geographic map projection

A map projection is a way how to transform points on a Earth to points on a map. This map of Novosibirsk uses Plate Carree projection. The Plate Carree projection is a simple cylindrical projection originated in the ancient times. It has straight and equally spaced meridians and parallels that meet at right angles.

All projections from a sphere to a plane are distorted. The drawback of the Plate Carree projection is that it doesn't make an attempt to compensate for these distortions. For the general view of Novosibirsk, this is not a significant problem. The detailed maps use the Mercator projection which preserves the shape of small areas better.

History of Novosibirsk Oblast

Over thousands of years, the territory of the Novosibirsk region, due to its location on the border of natural zones and cultural regions (the Siberian taiga and the Eurasian steppe), played the role of a buffer zone or border zone of different peoples.

In the 13th-15th centuries, this land was the eastern outskirts of the Golden Horde. Later, until the end of the 16th century, it was part of the Siberian Khanate. In the 18th century, the territory of the present Novosibirsk region became part of the Russian Empire.

Despite the relatively favorable climate, the Russians began to settle here relatively late. The Barabin Tatars were the indigenous people. Today, their total population is about 10,000 people living mainly in the western parts of the region.

The Barabin Tatars were subjected to constant attacks of the Kalmyks (the Oyrates and Teleuts). Russian villages were also under the threat. That’s why people preferred to settle in the north, near Tomsk. Only at the end of the 17th century, Novosibirsk province became attractive to settlers.

More Historical Facts…

The first settlement was founded by the boyar son Alexey Kruglik in 1695. Later, this settlement became the village of Kruglikovo. Today, it is located in Bolotninsky district. In the early 18th century, Berdsky stockaded town was built. Over time, the threat from the nomads decreased and the number of settlers increased.

In 1722, the Siberian line of fortresses along the Irtysh River was constructed. The locals were mainly engaged in soil tilling, fishing and hunting. In the early 19th century, the famous Ural manufacturer Akinfiy Demidov constructed two copper melting plants here - Kolyvansky and Barnaulsky.

In 1893, due to the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway and the railway bridge across the Ob River, Alexandrovsky settlement was built (from 1895 - Novonikolayevsky). Thanks to its convenient geographical location (the Trans-Siberian Railway crossing the Ob River, transportation ways connecting Siberia with the European part of the Russian Empire), its trade importance grew rapidly. In 1909, Novonikolayevsk became a town. In 1925, it was renamed in Novosibirsk.

Before 1921, the territory of Novosibirsk oblast was part of Tomsk gubernia, from 1921 to 1925 - of Novonikolayevsk gubernia, from 1925 to 1930 - of Siberian krai, from 1930 to 1937 - of West Siberian krai. September 28, 1937, West Siberian krai was divided into Novosibirsk oblast and Altay krai. This date is considered the official date of the region formation.
