Saying goodbye to
groep 8
A game or party to say goodbye to groep 8 (the final year of primary school), on the leaving evening or the last day of school. For the school, or for parents who are organising it.
The groep 8 leaving party
When groep 8 says goodbye, it's a class that will go their separate ways after the summer. The musical has been performed, the school camp is over, and there's one more evening or afternoon together. We turn that into a game or party.
We bring game hosting and materials to the school, the playground, a hall or one of the parents' gardens. Tell us a bit about the class and we'll work that into the questions and tasks.
- Game hosting, tasks and materials included
- For the leaving evening or the last day of school
- At school, in a hall or at someone's home
- For the school or for parents organising it
Four ways to celebrate saying goodbye
Scavenger hunt
A trail through the neighbourhood or village, with the class in small groups and tasks along the way. If you like, we include places the class knows well.
Quiz about the class
A quiz about their primary school years, with questions based on photos and facts supplied by parents or the teacher. The winners get the honour of the last day.
Party with a disco
A closing evening with music and game rounds in between the dancing. A good ending after the musical or the farewell dinner.
Games afternoon
Games in the playground or the school gym on the last day of school, with teams that have been mixed up. Even friends who never played together end up on the same team.
For the school or for the parents
Sometimes the school arranges the farewell, sometimes a group of parents. For the school, we fit it into the programme of the last week, around the musical and the leaving evening. Parents often organise their own party, for example in someone's garden or at a community centre.
Whoever arranges it, we need one point of contact and a few details. The date, how long it can last, the place and how many pupils there are. We'll work out the rest.
Book in good time
Almost all leaving evenings fall in the last few weeks before the summer holidays, and many schools choose the same evenings. As soon as the date of the musical or the leaving evening is known, you can book the game.
You'll find ideas for the format in our scavenger hunt, the children's disco and the pub quiz. We adapt them for a class, with questions and tasks about their primary school years.
We're based in Enschede and work all over the Netherlands. The price depends on the number of pupils, the duration, the date and the travel distance. You'll get a proposal within 1 working day.
Frequently asked questions
When should you arrange the groep 8 leaving party?
Ideally in the spring. Most leaving evenings fall in the last few weeks before the summer holidays, and many schools choose dates close together. Once you know the date, book it.
What's a fun idea for the groep 8 leaving party?
Something the class does together that's about the class itself. A scavenger hunt through the neighbourhood, a quiz about their primary school years or a party with a disco and game rounds. A lively group wants to move, a quieter group often prefers a quiz.
Can parents join in too?
They can. In a quiz, parents play as their own team or sit on the jury. In a scavenger hunt, they can staff a checkpoint. If the class would rather do it without parents, they come in at the end for the results.
Can the game be about our own class?
Yes. Send us photos, teachers' sayings or things that happened in class beforehand, and we'll work them into questions and tasks. We make sure nobody is made to look silly.
What does a groep 8 leaving party cost?
The price depends on the number of pupils, the duration, the date and the travel distance. You'll get a proposal within 1 working day.
When is the leaving party?
Tell us the date, the place and how many pupils there are, and we'll send a proposal within 1 working day.
