Ideas for 100th Day of School

Here are some fun activities to do on the 100th day of school.

100 Words Students get a clip board and a pencil and roam the room to find and write down 100 words. No duplicate words are allowed!

Race to 100 Students roll their dice, read the number, and color squares on a 100s grid to represent the number they rolled. First to reach 100 wins!

100s Chart Hidden Sticker Challenge Write numbers to 100 on white sticky dot stickers. Hide the dots around the classroom. Challenge students to find the dots and then to place them onto the 100s chart by matching the numbers.

100s Chart Pictures/Designs I print a bunch of 100s grids at the beginning of the year so that I always have them on hand. They are great for many activities, this one is no exception - - The kids love this "game" - - and it hones in on so many great math skills, too! To play, distribute a 100s grid to each student. Select a "picture" and begin prompting students to shade in a cell by prompting them to do so. Each prompt can be unique to fit your students' needs. For example, you could say, "please shade in the cell that is 3 + 12. Now shade in the cell that has 4 tens and 9 ones." These are just a few examples!

100 Day Snack Give students an empty zipper bag. Put out 10 food stations and have students visit each station to create their very own 100 snack by taking 10 of each item from each station. Class favorites include pretzels, chocolate chips, M&Ms, mini marshmallows, cheerios, gummy bears, Kix, Cheez-Its, raisins, and Goldfish crackers.

Count Up to the 100th Day of School Puzzle Every day of school students add a piece to our 100s day puzzle. The kids love this activity - - we do it during our morning calendar routine.
