Everybody needs virtual kindergarten graduation ideas this year. Things will look a tad bit different.
They don’t have to be that different though. Take what you do and adapt to the virtual world. Kindergarten graduation is the first real milestone that children have in school. The kindergarten promotion songs and slideshows can still be used and adapted to digital learning.
Slide Show/Scrapbook
I have created a template for a digital scrapbook that students are able to edit on the computer or there are also black and white copies. Put a graduation hat on your students to make it official.
Students can write about what they want to be when they grow up and their favorite memories.
Collecting pictures throughout the year and putting them to music is simple and easy these days. This slideshow template makes it even easier. Just add pictures and save as JPEG files. Most phones can do this with a touch of a button on I-MOVIE and other slideshow apps.
Kindergarten is a special year. This is a day that parents will often recall forever. Having a sweet song with adorable innocent pictures often evokes tears of pride.
Put the slideshow in Google classroom or make DVD’s to mail home to the students.
Song Ideas:
Daughter (applies to boys too)
The Eye of the Tiger (Field Day pics)
Kindergarten graduation is an occasion that parents and students will look back on proudly. My daughter is graduating from high school this year, but I will always remember her sweet face at her kindergarten graduation.
These virtual kindergarten graduation ideas will help you create a celebration that will be forever remembered and appreciated.
If you are having Zoom or Google Meet classroom sessions, pick one song that students can learn with you. These are some of the songs that everyone loves to sing.
Kindergarten Nights (Summer Nights)
This is honestly my favorite. Maybe, it is because I love John Travolta. Or, maybe it is because it lends itself to the cutest movements ever. Regardless, everyone is impressed with this kindergarten graduation song. Words can be found here.
Kindergarten, Kindergarten (Love and Marriage)
Because my last name is Barton, we sing, “Kindergarten with Ms. Barton,” but “Kindergarten, Kindergarten” is just as cute.
The music to this song fits the lyrics perfectly. Click for the words.
First Grade, First Grade (New York, New York)
I found this song when my daughter’s kindergarten teacher used it for her kindergarten graduation. It is so adorable that I asked her for a copy of the words. This song is a timeless favorite.
Other great kindergarten graduation songs are KinderFunk, Time to Graduate, We are the Champions.
Army Chant
I love this one as it is so easy for the kids to perform because they are just imitating what you say. The students also love this kindergarten graduation song/chant. They cannot contain their enthusiasm when they say, “Left, right, left right.”
One Small Voice
This song is perfect for the last song. It is very beautiful when the kids sing it with the sign language actions. Parents will be extremely touched by this number.
Kindergarten Poem 
This is one of the many virtual kindergarten graduation ideas that students can do online. Give each student a letter in the word “kindergarten” and have them create a big picture of that letter.
Also, give them the line from the below poem that goes with the letter. They can then perform this on your Zoom graduation. Mute and un-mute as they say their lines.
K is for kindergarten! Hip, hip hooray!
I is for imagination. We use every day.
N is for numbers. We know, one two three.
D is for drawing, the best you can see.
E is for exercise to keep our bodies strong.
R is for reading books all day long.
G is for good friends. We make more every day.
A is for the alphabet we know how to say.
R is for remembering everything we learned.
T is for treats that we sometimes earned.
E is for excitement. This year we had some.
N is for next year. First grade here we come.
Kindergarten T-Shirts
This is a perfect shirt for this year. You can possibly drive by and deliver the shirt and do social distancing photos with your students.
I was thinking of having a virtual drive by graduation and handing out their shirts and diplomas as they drive by in their cars. Parents can decorate their cars with positive signs.
Of course, I would be wearing a mask and gloves. Make sure you get permission first.
Also, these shirts can be done cheaper at a local t-shirt creation shop. They are happy to get the business.
Our teacher shirt will say “I virtually taught kindergarten.”
Introductions
We all know that parents are going to be looking at one person: their child. Each of those special students should have an opportunity to say something if you are doing the graduation online.
Having the students introduce themselves and say what they want to be when they grow up or their favorite part of kindergarten is very entertaining.
In closing, I hope you found some virtual kindergarten graduation ideas that you can use for this year. To say the least, this was a very unique year of school.
Finding ways to make things special is what teacher do best. I am sure your students and parents will appreciate your effort in creating a memorable experience.
