100th Day Activities (Page 4 of 5) in pdf

•

Or we are going to make T-shirt people. We cut a construction paper t-shirt for each child. They will glue it to another sheet and draw

a person around it. We write a different number to 100 on each shirt. We are going to get some other multi-age classes to help so we

can make 100.

•

Make a 100 badge for each child to wear

•

Put 100 fingerprints on the bulletin board

•

Write 100 words or a 100 word story

•

Use three jars exactly alike. Put 100 dry beans in one jar-one with less-- and one with more. Let each child guess which has the 100

•

Write to 100

•

Work page 100 in a book

Put together 100 piece puzzle

Have a 100 yard dash, jump rope 100 times (maybe by counting by 5's or 10's)

•

Make a t-shirt for yourself with a large 100 on it. Sew on 100buttons (Well maybe some of you have that much extra time)

•

One teacher wrote and said she wears 100 pins.

•

Another 100th day activity: During the week of the 100th day, have a sheet of paper labeled 100 Acts of Kindness. As children use

kind words and show kindness to others, they may sign the sheet. How long will it take to fill the first sheet and maybe a second one

too?

•

add the number each day to the line of numbers out in the hall (the numbers are ellison-pressed out of laminated construction paper) as

well as in my classroom. I find kids of other classes are counting them, too.

•

have each child make a necklace of different colors of pony beads (10 are red, 10 are blue, 10 are yellow, etc.), which we add to every

10 days and take home on the 100th. This is good for counting by tens as well.

•

get out the old-fashioned counting bead frame and count off the

days as we get close to 100. This leads to good talk about how do you know how many beads are on each line without counting all of

them individually, words like longer, shorter, less more, length and so on.

•

have a sheet with a picture of a dollar bill as big as the paper. Again, we had 10 rows, 10

boxes each on the "dollar". Each child used a money stamp and stamped 100 "pennies" onto the dollar.

•

For example, you can make t-shirts to be worn on the 100th day of school. Use 100% cotton shirts. Have students decorate the shirts

with puffy paint or share 100 markers.

•

Have a common theme: what students think the U.S. will be like in 100 years; what they want 100 of (e.g. dollars, shirts, pieces of

candy), or what they've learned in the last 100 days. Vary the theme with your age group.

•

Make a list of things that you could do or could not do... "I could eat 100 ____, but not 100 ____." "I could read 100 ____, but not

100 ____." "I could pick up 100 ____, but not 100 ____." "I could watch TV for 100 ____, but not 100 ____. The questions can be

modified for

whatever lesson you want to teach. I can divide 100 by ____, but not by ____. I can stand on 100 ____, but not 100 ____.

•

Send 100 letters out to 100 different people. They can be the same letter, or each could be original. You can choose to write to a

congressman over an issue, write thank you cards to someone who has done something nice for the class, you can thank a staff

member who

makes a difference in your school, or you can write to 100 different cities around the world. You can switch this idea around, as

well. Attempt to receive 100 different letters or emails from around the world.

•

Have students bring a collection of 100 things to school and do a presentation with it. For example, they could bring a string of 100

shells of pasta because it is their favorite food. They could carefully draw 100 hearts to represent the love they have for their family

or pet fish. Another idea is to sew 100 buttons to a piece of cloth becuase you've learned how to sew. The

class will be able to learn something interesting about their peers. And the presentations will generate interest school-wide.
