FIELD TRIP: LAST DAY OF SCHOOL: Picnic In the Park

My favorite thing to do on the last day of school is to have a picnic in a nearby park that is very preschooler friendly with lots of playground activities available.  All parents are invited (and encouraged) to come and to even meet at the park rather than going to the school.  Obviously, this isn't always possible for some working parents, in which case, you would then go through the routine of a field trip.

If your school hours were 9-12 for the year, then the picnic can also be those hours -- longer for an all-day program.

The picnic can be a potluck where everyone signs up to bring a dish, or everyone can bring their own sack lunches.  

A nice big fat juicy watermelon is always a good option purchased by the school, or provide ice cream and cake, or popsicles -- something really special.

Usually (at least in my experience), we had our "end of the year" program the night before, so at the end of the picnic, everyone goes home.
