Choose three to five activities with your class and alternate movement with quieter moments. Each idea lists materials and an approximate duration. These are planning examples, not a fixed DJ package.
- Opening class song, 5 minutes. Choose one familiar track beforehand. You need music and a clear space; children can sing or listen.
- Dance sharing without a winner, 10 minutes. Groups of three to five show a short move for others to copy. Performing is optional.
- Freeze dance, 5 minutes. Use music and free space. Everyone freezes when it stops and rejoins the next round.
- Ribbon limbo, 5–10 minutes. Two adults hold a ribbon. Children may choose another movement instead of bending. Avoid tensioned ropes or compulsory competition.
- School-year quiz, 10 minutes. Prepare ten friendly questions about shared memories. Small teams discuss answers; avoid sensitive or personal subjects.
- One-minute talent, 10 minutes. Volunteers get up to one minute each for a joke, dance or trick. Agree participants and number of turns beforehand.
- Musical relay, 10 minutes. Use clear outdoor space and soft markers. Small teams pass an object when the music changes. Walk if running does not suit the venue.
- Photo corner, 10 minutes. Make a paper backdrop. A designated adult takes photos under school and parent agreements. A hired booth is neither necessary nor included.
- Make a dance together, 15 minutes. Groups of four or five invent three moves to one song. Practise first; sharing is optional.
- Quiet listening, 5 minutes. Lower the music and provide seats. Talking, drawing or listening are all fine.
- Farewell cards, 15 minutes. Provide cards and pens. Allocate names so every child receives a kind message.
- School-year timeline, 15 minutes. Display paper and let teams draw a memory. Use photos only under the agreed permissions.
- Class bingo, 10 minutes. Make cards with neutral topics such as hobbies or favourite subjects. Nobody needs to share private information.
- Kind words, 10 minutes. Small groups share a memory or thank-you. Reading aloud remains optional.
- A shared final song, 5 minutes. Choose it with the class and announce what follows. Keep collection or speeches outside this moment.
A 90-minute example
Allow 10 minutes for arrivals, 20 for dancing and freeze dance, 10 for drinks, 15 for a quiz, 15 for cards and memories, 10 for free dancing and 10 for finishing and collection. Adapt to the class and venue.
Arrange adult supervision and a quiet seat. Agree music, photography and collection with school and parents.
