Starting the first day of school can really establish the rest of the school year. It’s the fist day for re-establishing routines and it’s important to link those routines to positive feelings.

Do they establish the feeling they love this day? Do they establish the feeling they like their teacher? Do they establish the feeling of self-confidence?

How do we celebrate the first day of school?

Living for the moment is important. Treasuring precious time with family and friends and looking for activities for bonding create a good first day of school experience. Celebrate the first day of school with a fun back to school treasure hunt to collect school supplies. Take a yearly first day of school photo. Eat a tasty first day of school snack when you get home. After school or after dinner, go for a first day of school ice cream treat.

Enjoy these 16 hilarious graduation games & activities for a graduation celebration. From stacking pennies to making sure you drop the tassel, there is something for everyone. So grab some friends and get ready to have some fun! Warning: Laughter included!

how to entertain guests at a graduation party

Pomp and circumstance has played, the gown was proudly worn, the grad cap was thrown and the diploma is rolled proudly. What’s next?! Other than planning for the future, it’s an important to celebrate the guest of honor. It doesn’t matter if you have a high school graduation party, a college graduation party (or even something younger), take a look at the best ways to host the best grad celebration.

How to Entertain at a Graduation Party

It’s important to entertain guests at a party. First welcome your guests with a drink. Have various food and appetizers around the room. Guests who have food in their belly are more likely to feel comfortable and more likely to engage.

More ideas for entertaining your guests include…

  1. Prepare ahead of time so you can be apart of the gathering.
  2. Introduce people you know to create conversation.
  3. Embrace spontaneity.
  4. Have background music.
  5. Have a running slide show of photographs.
  6. Have a photo booth.
  7. Decoration with décor that fits the theme and creates conversation.
  8. Allow your guests to help.
  9. Put together party activities

In addition to this list, amuse your guests with various games. It doesn’t have to be a three ring circus, but a party isn’t a party without a little fun!

There are plenty of ways to entertain at a party, but if you want to make it memorable you will include opportunities for guests to get to know one another, engage and laugh! That is what makes graduation games perfect! Having a resource that keeps your graduation party activities organized will guide you into creating the celebration your guests talk about for years to come.

What are some Graduation Games?

When it comes to creating games for a celebration, it is best to stick to a theme. A graduation party includes an easy theme – graduation. The best graduation games combine such objects as a tassel, graduation caps, pencils, diplomas and other fitting end of the year school props.

We’ve put together a few grad party games that fit the theme and include plenty of laughter. Best of all, each of these games can be accomplished quickly as they are only one minute long. Repeat as much as you would like to extend the length of the graduation activities.

Here are a few of our favorites:
