4 Simple and Fun Graduation Activities to Celebrate Your Students

Graduation is one of the most exciting and emotional times of the school year. It’s a time to reflect, to celebrate, and of course — to capture all those unforgettable memories!
If you're looking for meaningful (but easy!) ways to keep students engaged during the last few days, here are four activities that require little to no prep, but leave a big impact.

1. Graduation Selfie Scavenger Hunt

Give your students a chance to capture their memories in a fun and creative way with a Graduation Selfie Scavenger Hunt. Students work to complete selfie challenges — like snapping a picture with their favorite teacher, the best cap design, or even a funny graduation sign.

You can use a ready-to-print version or personalize it using an editable Canva link. This activity is a great way to keep the energy up during senior events, rehearsal days, or graduation parties.

Simple, fun, and totally customizable!

2. All About Me: Graduation Reflection Writing

For a more reflective option, the Graduation Reflection Writing Activity invites students to slow down and think about their journey.
With three pages of thoughtful reflection questions and writing prompts (plus a digital version if you need it!), students can write about their favorite memories, lessons learned, and hopes for the future.

There’s even an option for students to write letters to their past and future selves — a powerful keepsake they'll appreciate for years to come.

Bonus: Non-graduation reflection pages are included for grades 9–11 too!

3. Graduation Bingo

Looking for a playful, low-key option to round things out? Graduation Bingo is a quick and easy way to keep the excitement high during graduation week.
Students can spot classic graduation moments — from decorated caps to proud parents snapping photos — and aim for Bingo as they soak in the day’s events.

Perfect for ceremony downtime, class parties, or just a fun send-off before the big walk across the stage!

4. Graduation Word Puzzle Bundle

Make graduation vocabulary fun with the Graduation Word Puzzle Bundle!
This set includes both word searches and crossword puzzles, all themed around graduation. No prep required — just print and go!

Students can work on these puzzles as early finisher activities, indoor recess options, after testing, or even as a brain break during graduation prep.
It’s a simple way to keep minds engaged while celebrating everything they’ve accomplished.

Graduation is a moment of pride, joy, and new beginnings — and it's worth celebrating with activities that feel just as special as the milestone itself. Whether your students are snapping selfies, reflecting on their growth, playing Bingo, or puzzling out graduation-themed crosswords, these ideas help them mark the occasion with meaning and fun.
