Where to hold graduation for 4th grade? What's the best way to celebrate such an event? What should you pay attention to when planning such a celebration? In our article you will find answers to these and other exciting questions.
The period when a child graduates from primary school is a significant event. He is moving on to a new stage of learning. That is, to high school. There, a training system awaits him, which differs from the initial one. Therefore, it is customary to celebrate such an event as the end of primary school. Children will say goodbye to their first teacher and enter a new stage of the learning process.
Graduation options for 4th grade. Interesting scenarios for 4th grade graduation
There are many options for celebrating. Usually the script is based on some kind of fairy tale or work (story) for children. It is necessary to diversify the school holiday and add several fun and active competitions to it.
Sample scenario for graduation in 4th grade:
This scenario involves comparing school life to a ship. The script is based on the story “Scarlet Sails”. Accordingly, many competitions will be related to the sea. For the celebration it is necessary to invite several first-graders and the school administration. At the beginning of the celebration they will say beautiful words. In the center of the hall there is a model of a ship.
- Presenter : “Hello, today we have gathered to spend a child’s life. After all, now the kids have matured and become independent. We send all the kids on a big swim to high school. Here is our ship. Let's remember how our celebration began."
- First-graders are invited to the stage. You can include the song “They teach at school” or at your discretion. The kids recite poems, ring the bell and leave
- Presenter : “At the helm of every ship there is a captain, in our school, this is our dear director”
- The director congratulates everyone on the holiday and wishes them good luck in their further studies.
- Presenter : “Let’s now check how our children have learned the alphabet and can speak. I announce the “Letter” competition. After the competition, one winner will be awarded sweet prizes
- Presenter : “Let’s invite the parents to the stage, how do they feel about today’s holiday?”
- Parents come out and congratulate their children
- The presenter announces the “Books” competition. After the competition, children are given prizes
- The “Rubber Band” competition is announced
Competitions for the holiday:
- Letter. The teacher writes a secret letter on a piece of paper, for example “M”. Asking questions. For example, who is the most dear person to you, the child will most likely say “Mom”. Only this word has an encrypted letter and cannot be pronounced. Therefore, you need to say the dad or the woman who gave birth. There is only one winner, who, after a series of questions, still did not say “M”
- Books. For this competition, divide the children into two teams. Place two stacks of books. Select a distance; this should be a passage from one table to another. Participants take turns carrying books on their heads without holding them with their hands to another table. In this case, a book does not count if it falls. The team that moves the most books in 5 minutes wins.
- Rubber. Each team is given a drawing drawn in pencil. Only the drawings are sketched with extra lines. Team members must erase the extra lines and provide a normal drawing. Whichever team completes it first wins
You can end the evening with a sweet table and a disco.
Disco (or magic tricks + disco)
You can organize a disco on your own after the official part. Here it is important to remember about good ventilation of the room, the presence of a sufficient amount of drinking water, and monitor a comfortable sound volume.
Insert vocal numbers of graduates into the disco program (children often imitate participants in the program “The Voice. Children” and perform world dance hits very well). Several people can learn simple dance routines in advance and show the moves from the stage to everyone else.
Our organizers are conducting the Discostop program. The presenter and DJ with a full set of sound and lighting equipment conduct a game dance program with battles, fun team games with props, acting competitions, and comic fashion shows. The finale can be a paper show or an interactive science show.
Here is a similar description of the Discostop program.
In the “Ordinary Miracle” program we combined a magician’s show, a “Secrets of Tricks” master class and a disco.
What to give teachers for their 4th grade graduation?
The issue of gifts always worries parents. Usually parents ask teachers what they want, but some teachers are embarrassed to say directly. Therefore, choose an interesting and necessary gift.
Gift ideas for 4th grade teachers:
- A clock on the wall or a wristwatch.
- Annual fitness or pool membership. True, you first need to ask whether the teacher likes sports and knows how to swim.
- Certificate for the purchase of luxury cosmetics. Few people will refuse such a gift, because expensive perfumes and luxury cosmetics will delight everyone.
- Floor lamp . This is a good gift for women who take notebooks home and check them there.
- Jewelry . If the whole class collects money, it will be a small amount, but it will be enough to purchase a pendant or earrings. For older women, you can purchase jewelry with large semi-precious stones.
- Elite fountain pen . This is a beautiful and symbolic gift, although it may not be practical.
- Gadgets . Ask the teacher if he has a tablet or phone. You can give an electronic pointer or a universal remote control for controlling a tape recorder, TV and home theater.
- Appliances . Such a gift should not be given “just to have it.” Ask your teacher if he has a slow cooker or bread maker. And in general, does a woman like to bake? Maybe she doesn't need a bread machine.
Poems for the teacher at graduation in 4th grade
Not a single holiday is complete without songs and poems. Here are some lines that children should learn. You can give each person 2-4 lines and recite the poems in turn.
Four years are behind us - We are leaving our childhood with you, Successes await us ahead, But not next to you, together! Let's go the other way, There will be many teachers,
But none of us will forget how you taught us! We will remember your outfit and your fiery speeches, your smile and your look, and all the lessons, our meetings!

Picnic
Activists are needed for a picnic graduation. A group of parents who purchase and marinate meat provides everyone with vegetables, fruits, drinking water, juices, sweets, disposable tableware, balls, badminton and other outdoor activities.
There are, of course, more carefree ways to organize a picnic in nature (on a banquet). Everything will be purchased and fried by experienced chefs, and parents, children and teachers will just have fun communicating with each other. The costs in this case are 3-4 times higher, and the amount of food will be the same.
A picnic can be combined with a hike. Children and adults can easily walk 3 km one way without preparation; there is no need to go further. At the end of the hike there is a well-deserved picnic.
Where can you hold your 4th grade graduation?
Initially, you need to find out what style the holiday will be in. If parents are not going to celebrate anything and want to arrange a holiday exclusively for children, then you should pay attention to Animators. With the permission of the administration, a holiday for children can be held at the school or a transfer of schoolchildren to the children's entertainment center can be arranged. The animators have their own entertainment program; usually children 10-11 years old love everything related to the cartoons “Monster High” or “Winx”.
But usually parents want to kill two birds with one stone, and they themselves don’t mind drinking and having a good time. In this case, it is better to rent a cafe or restaurant. Do not forget that it is advisable to arrange two tables, for children and parents. Take care not only of live music, but also of entertainment for children.
Entertainment for children:
- Show with fire
- Soap bubbles show

Children can take part in the procedure of launching gel balloons into the sky. If you have extra funds, you can rent a machine for making cotton candy. Children of this age simply love all sorts of experiences and experiments.
Buy young scientist kits with baking soda and vinegar rockets, or make a non-Newtonian liquid with your kids.
