Activities for End of the Year Kindergarten Classes

Kindergarten is a milestone year for five- and six-year olds, as it is the final year before they enter the "big" world of full time elementary school. The end of the year can be an exciting but scary time for kindergarteners. Choose from a number of activities and events that will make the end of the year positive and fun for your students.
  1. Class Shirt

    • Kindergarteners can show their class pride by creating a class t-shirt. Use fabric paint or iron-on letters to make the shirts with your students. Include the teacher's name, the school name and the class year in the design of the shirts. Help students customize their t-shirts with hand prints, their names or any other decorations they choose. Allow the students to wear the t-shirts at end-of-year assemblies and on the last day of school to show class and school spirit.

    Summer Vacation Art Project

    • Using paints and poster board, help your kindergarteners paint pictures of what they are going to do or what they hope to do during their summer vacations. The picture should show them doing the activity; ideas include going to the beach, camping, playing at the park or flying on an airplane. Each kindergartener can share her poster with the rest of the class.

    Class Yearbook

    • Your kindergarten class can make its own yearbook. Give each student a piece of paper that includes his photograph. Allow him to decorate the page with pictures that symbolize who he is and his favorite memories from the year in kindergarten. This type of project can be done in class or be sent home to allow parents to assist with ideas. Copy each child's sheet, then bind it into one class yearbook. Leave blank pages at the back of the yearbook for the students to write their names in each other's books.

    Kindergarten Graduation

    • Kindergarten graduation is a traditional event for many schools. It symbolizes the entry into full time elementary school. Kindergarten graduation activities include a graduation ceremony where students sing graduate-themed songs and are given diplomas for their completion of kindergarten. Students can make their own graduation caps with construction paper, a fastener and string, and wear them with pride on their graduation day.
