It’s that time of the year (already?!) and you’re probably looking for song ideas for a preschool or kindergarten graduation, an upcoming Spring program or the end-of-the-year celebration. You might have used up all your favorite songs for school programs, you don’t want to repeat the same one you’ve been using lately, or maybe (like me) you’ve just ran out of ideas.
Graduation can be a very special occasion as it signifies reaching one of the first (if not the first!) academic milestones in a kid’s life. Whether your school is having a formal celebration or not or you’re looking to add an uplifting song to a pre-k or kindergarten end of year slideshow, we can make this event extra special with affirming & encouraging songs. I’m sharing my favorite preschool and kindergarten graduation song ideas below.
