Finding Suitable Poems and Prayers For the Kindergarten Graduation Ceremony

Songs and poems can be a great addition to your kindergarten graduation ceremony as they service to entertain and educate those who listen to them. Some children become religious, quite late in their lives so you might experience some resistance to the idea in the first instance.
The Montessori system tells us that children are likely to mimic the way that they were brought up so if they were religious in the family the introduction of prayer will not be seen as a big problem.

The key is to recognize the individuality of kindergarten children even in matters of getting spiritual so you must never take a homogeneous approach to bringing them up. It is expected, that you the parent will attempt to build your personal and family values within kindergarten children that you bring up. Through this kind of thinking you can re-enforce behavior patterns that will sustain the kindergarten child throughout their live. If you really want your children to be into prayer it is better that you instill in them that value right from the beginning rather than waiting for the kindergarten graduation and then striking unexpectedly.

If you have done this, the kindergarten graduation ceremony itself will have few hiccups. It's not wise to use classical poetry during kindergarten graduation.

Classical poetry is not appealing to many people including adults.
It is therefore unreasonable to expect that young kindergarten children will be enthusiastic at such an early stage.

Kindergarten graduation then calls for the use of local poetry perhaps in the dialect of the family so that you are not overburdening their young minds with very heavy stuff. Those parents who have done this before say that when you let children get involved in the creation of the poetry they tend to be very enthusiastic and it creates an atmosphere of happy informality which is ideal for such kindergarten graduation ceremonies. The reason why poetry is usually learnt by heart at this stage is that kindergarten children are rarely fully proficient in the official language at this stage.

They can normally sing it and say repetitive stuff but when it comes to reading there is still some time. Their kindergarten teachers will know this and that is why songs and poems are always a main feature in the education of children.
You should borrow the example from them and also start getting your children to recite poems and songs for the kindergarten graduation ceremony.
During the kindergarten graduation do not leave it to the children to do all the hard work by reciting the poems and reading the prayers. After all you are the adult and you have a lot more skills and experience than those kindergarten young ones. Get stuck in and recite a poem of your own to give the children a flavor of what they should be doing.
I also suspect that your children will be quite happy to see you making a fool of yourself so any poems and songs that your sing will go down a treat.
It is after all a party among family so you can afford to make mistakes.
