This situation is familiar to many parents, or rather, to all mothers and fathers. The closer warm days, summer holidays and, of course, graduation for children, the more thoughts run through the minds of adults. The main ones are how to organize a holiday and what to give to diligent students who are moving to a new step in life - high school. It's no secret that it's already very difficult to surprise modern guys. After all, it would seem that they have everything: smartphones, tablets and other gadgets. However, lately, gifts and surprises in style have become more appreciated. hand made- handmade, original sweets and other useful gifts. Let's think together about how to please such grown-up boys and girls.
Discussions about gifts have been, are and will always be. This is especially true for graduates in educational institutions. Many mothers and fathers wait with apprehension for the moment when this issue is raised at a parent meeting. In fact, if you clearly structure the information, you can find a lot of useful, original, and most importantly, interesting surprises that children will like. First of all, adults must decide on several points, and only then proceed to make a choice:
- Is it worth giving memorable gifts: most parents are in favor of albums or photo books, and rightly so. Many people note that electronic media does not replace printed photos. But a class is a small family, a team in which a child lives and studies for more than one year;
- determine the amount that moms and dads are willing to spend: do not forget that these are surprises for the whole class, and not a holiday for one. Not all parents have the financial means to give their child a tablet for graduation. The optimal price for which you can buy a gift should be considered by the whole team, so that not a single child is left without a gift;
- decide what the surprise should be: many adults want to buy useful things, others insist that children should like gifts. This issue also needs to be resolved jointly.
Children grow and change every year, so receiving gifts as keepsakes is always pleasant and valuable. Despite the great development of technology, original souvenirs are popular and would be appropriate at a children’s party:
- photo albums or class photo books: if previously these were just portrait photos of children, today professional photographers can print a real masterpiece. Recently, filming a whole day in the lives of children has become popular. The specialist is filming real story, which is then told in photographs on the pages of the album;
- cups with photos of children: a personal mug, personalized, bright will arouse the child’s interest. You can also add a wish from the first teacher, who was with the class for four whole years;
- notebooks, notebooks, sketchbooks or class photo diaries: school life is full of bright moments and great achievements. Children will enjoy looking at fun games, footage from various holidays on the covers of workbooks and other educational supplies;
- T-shirts, caps or sweatshirts with the class logo, motto: school is a big part of a child’s life. Children go on hikes, participate in competitions and other events. Team spirit is great, but visual perception is also very important. Therefore, items of clothing with distinctive signs will be very appropriate as a gift for graduates.
Memorable and personalized gifts can be completely different. It all depends on the parents’ flight of fancy. Some classes order tracksuits of the same design with the number according to the list in the magazine and the child’s name on the back. Or, as an option, backpacks with a school or class logo. Much depends on the financial capabilities of adults and team cohesion.
Today, almost every classroom has a plasma TV or laptop. The children and the teacher will be pleased to see a short slide show with their participation. You can install it yourself, the programs can be easily found on the Internet, or order from professionals.
Undoubtedly, the child should like the gift. Therefore, there may be two options here:
- give everyone the same things;
- Every parent buys something that his son or daughter will definitely appreciate.
Teachers, as a rule, do not immediately agree with the second option. This is understandable, because some mothers and fathers can buy very expensive things that will stand out against the background of other surprises. Nevertheless, there is a way out: children need to be involved in sports - this is the key to health and good spirits. Especially on summer holidays many guys constantly spend time on the playgrounds.
Adults can buy such gifts based on their children’s hobbies and preferences, but they will all be united by one theme:
- soccer balls, are more suitable for boys, but there are also girls who are fond of this sport;
- balls for playing basketball or volleyball;
- tennis rackets;
- rollers, as an option, if all parents agree to buy this invention for their children;
- A skateboard is a unique alternative to rollerblades. It's fun, interesting and perfect for the summer holidays;
- A kite will also interest both boys and girls. Parents can choose colors depending on the child's preferences.
Various products that help develop logic, thinking, and imagination will also be useful. There are many options, so parents should carefully discuss all the nuances. You can separate surprises for boys and girls, or give common gifts. Today in children's goods stores you can find a lot of useful and interesting things:
- board games: Monopoly, Game of Life and other economic games will not only be interesting for children, but also help improve counting and logical thinking skills;
- paintings by numbers: most children love to draw, so such a surprise will definitely attract their attention. You can choose for each child exactly the image that he will definitely like: cartoon characters, animals or castles;
- encyclopedia: a lot of information can be found on the Internet, but the child needs to read books;
- creativity kits: for girls - soap making, scrapbooking or decoupage, for boys - light construction of robots or cars, wood burning.
Children love various little things that can be carried with them or hung in a prominent place in the room. Something they can be proud of and show to their parents, friends and acquaintances. Therefore, among other gifts, you can make small surprise gifts with your own hands. Don’t forget that kids perceive information more visually, so you need to add bright colors and colors.
An equally original gift would be a dance for students performed by parents. Children are always interested in watching adults who can have fun too. There are many videos on the Internet, you can take one of them as a basis. Or class activists can talk to music directors school and ask them to help choreograph a dance and show original movements.
Of course, no holiday is complete without sweets for children. But simply giving the kids chocolate or a box of chocolates is boring and uninteresting. Today, many confectionery shops and private craftsmen can bring to life any fantasies of parents and their children. To make your graduation ceremony even brighter, you can diversify it with such sweet surprises:
- cake with the names of all the children in the class: you can choose any design. These can be simply inscriptions on a white background, or add figures from your favorite cartoons;
- personalized cupcakes for each student: parents know the tastes of their child, so culinary masterpieces can have different fillings;
- a small cake for each child: at graduation, you can arrange small quests that will definitely interest children, and as a gift for winning, you can present boys and girls with mini-cakes made in a themed style.
- large bags with sweets: huge, ice cream-shaped cones filled with lots of sweets, gingerbread and other sweet surprises will be an excellent addition to the main gifts;
- chocolate fountain: This is usually placed on a separate table where children can come and taste the melted chocolate.
Graduation is a holiday for children, so adults try to organize the event in such a way that the children are happy and have a great time. And, of course, gifts and surprises for students are a must. Boys and girls can be proud of themselves because they have completed primary school. Today, parents have a huge selection of different gifts; the main thing is to coordinate all the ideas together and choose the best ones.

Graduate of 3-4 grades
Farewell to elementary school - overcoming the first serious stage adult life, a little sad holiday. Encourage your student with a pleasant and cute gift.
What to give for graduation in 4th grade:
- School supplies for the next school year - find out his favorite characters and choose gifts of this theme - he will definitely be pleased!
- Educational board game, construction set, set of encyclopedias.
- Favorite delicacies and sweets.
- Personalized souvenirs useful in children's games.
- A gift for a child’s room – a horizontal bar, an exercise machine, a new study table, a lamp, a table lamp.
- Sports gift - from a bicycle to a soccer ball.
Ninth grader
Some of the kids stay at school, while others already go to college or technical school. In any case, the ninth grader will have to make, perhaps, the first serious choice in his life.
The gift should therefore be practical, durable, but at the same time original and youthful:
- PC components: wireless mouse and keyboard, original design headphones or speakers, necessary hardware.
- Accessories: wrist watch, belt, briefcase, bag from genuine leather, stylish umbrella.
- Certificate to your favorite shoe or clothing store– a girl or a young man can choose for themselves comfortable clothes for the next academic year.
Eleventh grader
How to please a “capital” graduate? Let's look further:
- Jewelry: rings, pendants, bracelets, earrings for girls, chains and men's bracelets for boys.
- From parents– “serious” electronics: smartphone, laptop, tablet, e-reader, smart watch.
- Tourist trip– the last school holidays need to be enjoyed!
Gift for a friend
The cash balance of a schoolchild or student is sometimes very limited, but you really don’t want to leave your girlfriend or boyfriend without a gift on such a significant day!
What you can choose:
- An original pen, notebook, pencil case or any other fun stationery.
- The flash drive has a “cool” design – it will clearly come in handy in further studies.
- A personalized mug/pillow/T-shirt with a design that suits the occasion.
- A poster, statue, pendant, CD or other memento somehow related to his or her idols.
- A set of your favorite “snacks”.
- You can please a girl with a bouquet of her favorite flowers.
- Cute USB gadgets: fan, mini-fridge for drinks, vacuum cleaner for cleaning the keyboard, warmer for a mug or hand.
Advice! A good option would be to give a homemade gift. Its price is your attention and creativity. Or you can make a touching card or packaging with your own hands for a gift purchase.
Gift for teacher: serious, playful, practical
It is wrong to get by with a banal gift “for show” on this day for the class teacher. A person who has gone through thick and thin deserves an appropriate, useful and impressive present. So, what can you stop at when choosing a gift for your curator for graduation:
- A picture of a class. It can be painting, graphics, embroidery or photo collage.
- If you have an unofficial photograph of a teacher, you can make a custom portrait based on it. Or a figurine. If the teacher is aged, then she will certainly be warmly surprised by a drawing depicting her in her youth! An excellent option would be a photo mosaic - a portrait of a teacher, laid out from small photographs of grateful students.
- A themed wall clock with your school photos. You can order such a miracle in almost every city.
- A certificate of appreciation or medal for your teacher. Again this one personalized gift it is made to order - so you need to find a suitable craftsman long before the celebration in order to avoid incidents.
- Congratulations video. For a winning effect, it is broadcast in the celebration hall to suitable music using a projector. And the teacher is then given a “flash drive” with this video file. This could be clips of congratulations from each student, a video series of school photos, or even a staged scene.
Did you find out about the teacher's hobbies and preferences? Perfect!
We rely on them - what you can give to your class teacher for graduation:
- Owners of personal plots will appreciate a certificate to the appropriate store, or seeds/seedlings of plants of rare varieties.
- The best hobby is school. Does your teacher consider his work the main task of his life? Then he will be delighted with voluminous flash drives, sets of high-quality fountain pens, a leather-covered diary, a desk set, or even a new comfortable teacher’s chair. Don’t forget about his subject - a gift for a history teacher at graduation will be different from a gift for a physicist. Perhaps the teacher needs additional materials, CDs, subscriptions to professional magazines.
- For a lover of goodies, present a large cake with congratulations, lined with cream or mastic. Why not give a sweet bouquet of sweets, chocolate or a wonderful basket of exotic fruits? This will be your graduation gift to your teacher!
- If the teacher is a romantic person, then you cannot do without an impressive bouquet of flowers. Nowadays, by the way, it is fashionable to give fresh flowers in cute pots. Such a teacher will definitely be brought to tears by a song or dance in his honor - as in the video in this article.
- For those who like to travel - a trip! The best thing is a certificate to a travel agency - this way the teacher can choose the time and direction of travel that is convenient for himself, and you don’t have to give him a ticket to a local holiday home if the teacher’s soul aspires, for example, to London.
Advice! If 4th graders cannot quite understand the character and preferences of their teacher and parents have to choose a gift based more on tradition and their idea of the teacher, then older students can already conduct serious “reconnaissance” and find out what they need most “second mom” (or “dad”) and choose a gift for your teacher for graduation that will pleasantly surprise him.
Gift to school: memorable, useful, durable
Often, graduates themselves or their parents decide to give their home school something that leaves a good memory of them and is useful for other younger generations. We propose to express this kind gesture this way - take a look at the table where we discussed what a gift to the school from graduates could be.
| Tree and shrub seedlings | The kindest tradition that exists. Talk to the caretaker about where and what trees are best to plant. Get ready the day before prom and with the whole class give birth to a new shady alley. Don’t forget to visit your charges at first, water them, fertilize them, and cultivate them. Every time you pass by the school, you will now remember your graduation, and maybe someday your children will rush past these plants to class. |
| Projector with screen | A gift to the school at a reunion evening from graduates may well be a modern projector with a screen. Very necessary thing for the class - the teacher can introduce the children to a presentation on the lesson, an educational film. More than once in his work he will remember his beloved graduating class with a kind word for this gift. |
| Music system | School is not only about lessons, but also about student activities. A high-quality music system will not be superfluous in any school - it will make holidays and events richer and more interesting. |
| Educational media library | So that the future generation does not pore over textbooks, but acquires knowledge in step with the times, choose educational licensed discs as a gift. However, in this case, you first need to consult with subject teachers. |
| Renovating your classroom | It all depends on your budget - if the graduates are quite adults (9th, 11th grade), then you can completely entrust the repairs to them themselves. As an alternative, a graduation gift to the school could be as follows: order work from a professional team that will do the job “from start to finish” - from purchasing everything necessary for repairs to hanging curtains. |
| Blackboard | Again, the decisive point will be the amount collected for the gift. You can opt for a classic wooden, metal or magnetic board, or you can give the school a modern interactive board - a large touch screen. The last option can be presented from the entire line graduating classes- so as not to completely empty the parents’ wallets. |
| Computer, laptop, netbook for a teacher or computer science classroom | The gift is expensive, but also very useful. Do not forget to attach to it a package of necessary documentation, which should contain instructions with a warranty card. |
| Books | The best gift is, as you know, books. Talk to your school librarian and students about what printed materials your school urgently needs. |
| Gift for the school museum | What should graduates give to the school in this case? Leave a memorable artifact of your class in the school museum - for example, a class album with your photos, so that all generations coming after you can admire the handsome and serious graduates. |
| Classroom lighting | Not all schools are equipped with modern energy-saving lighting, which also emits a comfortable color and non-irritating glow - this may be the most valuable gift for your old classroom. |
| Sports equipment | From basketball to the wall bars - consult your physical education teacher about what equipment the gym needs most. |
| Decor, flowers | It's nice to come to school, where it feels almost like home. Again, contact the caretaker to see if you need additional green spaces in the corridors, artistic or informational posters, paintings, or maybe any decorations specifically for the holidays. |
Advice! When choosing a gift, take a look at your school from the outside - as a rule, educational institutions in large cities they are already equipped with all modern equipment and are regularly repaired - a more symbolic, memorable gift would be appropriate here. But for a number of rural schools that do not have generous patronage, the best gift there will be the purchase of any equipment or renovation of the classroom.
That's our entire selection for today. We hope that it will help you decide what to give your class teacher for graduation, how to make your child, boyfriend or girlfriend happy, and also what kind of good memory to leave about yourself at school. Have a nice journey in life!
Graduation after 4th grade is a serious event for every child. His first independent stage of education has ended, during which for the first time he had to make some independent decisions, learn to communicate, maintain adult discipline, and be responsible for grades. The first real exams are behind us, and ahead are many different school subjects that will be taught by teachers who are still unfamiliar.
Both children and parents want their prom to be bright and memorable. Of course, all children want to receive gifts, and Active mom is in a hurry to help parents choose a gift for graduation in 4th grade.
In addition to organizing the holiday itself with a feast, competitions and scenes from school life, the question certainly arises - what to give to the children so that they don’t end up lying around as useless ballast on the shelf. Another significant question is how much money to collect for the gift itself, because the costs of a table, gifts for teachers, an animator, memorable photos or albums already add up to a considerable amount. In addition to the financial issue, parents are faced with main problem- is it necessary to give something besides certificates and albums and should the gift be the same for all children.
What to give your child at his 4th grade graduation?
When choosing a gift for children, it is advisable to remember a few things:
- we give various gifts boys and girls;
- the gift should be affordable for the budget of all parents (if you want to give something more, you can do it at home, give gifts from the family and say how proud you are of your daughter/son);
- the gift should be of interest to the child himself or at least be useful to him (the once popular globe often turned into a bulky unnecessary item that took up a lot of space in the closet).
Even a mug or a T-shirt can become a unique gift if you print a child’s portrait or a photo of the whole class on it, accompanied by funny inscriptions. And if you want to give a T-shirt that is 100% original, invite a specialist to a master class so that he can help the children paint the T-shirts themselves. And don't think that it is very difficult. Every child would love to get their handprints!

What to give for elementary school graduation
A gift for children for 4th grade graduation should be according to age. At the age of 10-11, students are formed and grow rapidly physically and mentally. You can also think of separate souvenirs for boys and girls. Practice shows that a universal gift (board game, souvenir or photo album) at a low price is preferable to an expensive personalized souvenir. All issues are resolved quickly parent meeting, by voting, discussion.
Memorable gift
What to give for graduation in 4th grade? The memory of elementary school will remain for many years if you give:
- Photo calendar, photo mug, photo plate. You can add to the photo parting words. The plate and mug do not have to be used for their intended purpose. This is a memorable souvenir.
- Photo frame. The child will put it in it best photo from prom. This gift will take its rightful place on the wall or children's corner.
- Magnetic panel, with the best selected personnel from four years of study.
- A book is a traditional gift. Pick it up for your summer reading program and you won't go wrong.
It has been noticed that souvenirs at this age have little attraction for children. However, if you pick up an interesting little thing, it will not be difficult for you to catch the joyful look of a child. A good gift for children for 4th grade graduation is:
- Keychain with sound. Independent life it's just beginning. It's rich and intense. Parents' work hours and the child's return from school or clubs do not coincide. Parents already trust their son or daughter with the keys to their house, but they are easy to lose. This keychain will respond on its own.
- Accessory with custom clasp. They often replace traditional, uncomfortable ties.
You can also give:
- A notebook and pen with a commemorative engraving. This is the child’s first step towards independent planning and order.
- Flash drive. They are produced in different configurations (car, soccer ball, tool, lipstick) and flowers. Such a gift is both useful and interesting.
- Planetarium lamp. An amazing modern invention.
A necessary and useful present
Parents, when choosing graduation gifts for their children, are primarily inclined to purchase useful things that will be useful on vacation in the summer or for further study. These include:
- Board games. Teenagers will have something to do when they get together.
- Lunch box. Necessary item in the busy life of a child. A full lunch is healthier than snacking on the run.
- A pencil case and a set of pencils or markers will be useful in the fifth grade.
Consider gifts such as:
- Flashlight. When going on summer hikes or returning home late from extracurricular/additional classes, clubs, sections, the child will certainly use a lighting device on a cord.
- Personalized T-shirts for physical education. It will be easier for a new teacher to remember the guys by name. Good idea– give the team a name or print an existing one with an emblem. The guys will definitely come up with an idea and compose their own “chant”.
- Alarm. An irreplaceable thing, especially if the model is made with an original idea: running away, jumping or flying.
Shared
No matter how the image of childhood changes over time, no matter how “advanced” modern children become, they always rejoice at gifts. Especially if the souvenirs are dedicated to memorable and important events in their lives. In junior school age This, of course, is the end of 4th grade. For almost no longer kids, graduation will be a reason for joy and pleasant expectations, and for parents, among other things, it will also be a concern about what to give to the newly minted graduate.
From childhood we are taught that it is not the gift that is important, but the attention. This is certainly true. But this truth is difficult to comprehend in childhood. So, when choosing a gift for a 4th grade graduate, you will have to be guided not only by the fact of the gift itself, but also by “getting into the top ten.” Fortunately, there are not so many principles for this well-aimed hit.
Personalized gifts are the most thankless type of graduation gifts. Surely the children, looking at what they gave to their classmates, will be upset. So it’s better to present something identical so that there is no possibility of comparison. Gifts can be individualized by gender: boys - soccer balls, girls - volleyballs.
This is not an attempt to portray children as mercantile monsters, but in conditions modern life There will probably be 2-3 people who will compare the gift and its cost. Although the budget issue, of course, concerns exclusively parents.
All gift ideas can be divided into two groups: purchased and homemade.
Shopping gift ideas for fourth grade elementary school graduates
With all the variety offered and the complexity of choice, purchased gifts are the easiest option for parents.
The end of 4th grade is the age when a book has not yet become that gift from the category of “is good gift, there is a bad one, there is... a book.” So you can safely choose something educational, for example, an encyclopedia. Moreover, there are a huge number of very different series in which you can find something interesting for a particular child or for all at once. By the way, this is an option to individualize a gift, but only if you are absolutely sure that your intellectual needs exactly the “Encyclopedia amazing facts", not "Mysterious Animals of the Planet".
Smart gifts
We are talking about games, quizzes, cards with tasks that will help the child learn countries and flags, seas and oceans, etc. Among all the variety, you can focus on:
Smart gifts to give to students - photo gallery
Children like photo printing, but it especially touches parents
Gifts for boys and girls
There are practically win-win options for cases when parents still want to individualize the gift: choose it depending on the gender of the child.
Choose suitable option for the entire class can be done using the monitoring method. Parents name their children's hobbies, and then choose the ones that best suit the students' interests.
For boys this could be:
models of cars, tanks, planes, cities;
Suitable for girls:
Sweet gifts for a child
What children's party would be complete without sweets? But the problem is that they are eaten quickly... If you decide to give sweet gifts to children, then you should think about packaging, which, even after the candy cookies disappear from it, can be used as a box, pencil case or for storing things dear to your heart .
Containers for sweets can be in the form of a standard box, tube or, for example, a bag. Fill this beautiful packaging Can:

Original do-it-yourself gifts from parents for the end of 4th grade
This is a completely special category of gifts. Frankly speaking, if we exclude T-shirts and T-shirts with photo printing from the list of homemade gifts (because these technical capabilities can well be mastered by the skillful hands of caring mothers and fathers), then children’s attitude towards such souvenirs can be quite skeptical. And here it is important to correctly navigate the content, and then choose the right form.
Original gift, made with your own hands, is a book-box. It is a kind of hiding place, stylized as a volume of a medieval book. But you can use it as a piggy bank, as a box with various things valuable to your baby, and as a pencil case for your favorite pencils and markers or small souvenir toys.
When choosing this option, there is only one difficulty: there must be a lot of books, and it is unlikely that all parents in the class have the ability to create works of art at the same level.

There are many gift options for elementary school graduates. So there is an opportunity to choose something original, interesting for children and corresponding to the budget allocated by parents. The main thing is to resolve key issues: identical gifts or individual ones (for boys and girls separately), purchased or homemade. In the first option, you need to decide on the type of gift, and if you decide to make souvenirs yourself, then you need to find craftsmen to make them. In any case, children will wholeheartedly rejoice at the gift, which will be appropriate and presented with love.
