End of the Year Celebration
Throw a Celebration Like NEVER Before

The end of the school year is an exciting time for elementary students, and there are many ways to celebrate their achievements and hard work. Some ideas for end-of-the-school-year celebrations include field days with outdoor games and activities, picnic parties with food and music, talent shows to showcase students' talents, movie days with fun and age-appropriate films, classroom game days for friendly competition, awards ceremonies to recognize academic and behavioral accomplishments, scrapbooking to preserve memories from the school year, ice cream socials for tasty treats and socializing, field trips to local attractions, and dance parties with music and decorations. These ideas provide fun and engaging ways for students to celebrate the end of the school year and look forward to a well-deserved break.

If you are wondering how in the world you can still have an EPIC celebration for students, don’t worry…I’ve got you covered.

Create a Class Video

Every celebration needs a video…or two! Make a video of memories for your class using the last day of school sign! Your students are sure to love this! However, you can also include pictures you have taken throughout the school year, yearbook pics, or whatever you have to work with. You can place each image into Google Slides. After you have made the presentation exactly like you want, click “present”. Then, record your screen as you scroll through the presentation. I would recommend adding music. Turn on the song of your choice and have it playing in the background while the presentation is running. To record your screen, I recommend using the Google Chrome extension, Screencastify. Don’t worry, this extension is simple to use and very user friendly!

Class Picnic

Host a picnic lunch in the school yard or local park where students can enjoy food, games, and music. This is a great FREE option for students to enjoy. The sunshine and hopefully beautiful weather outside is a great way to celebrate the end of the school year.

Personalized Student Videos

If you do not have pictures to make a class video, make student videos. Grab your roster and make a personalized video for each student. This right here will mean more to your kids than you will ever know. A positive, uplifting message from their teacher will leave footprints on their heart. Okay, that was a little sappy, but trust me…this is a good one. If possible, include specific details of funny or meaningful memories during the school year.
