5 Activities to Celebrate the 100th Day of School!
The 100th day of school deserves a huge celebration! Students have officially completed 100 days and are more than halfway through the school year. Check out these 5 activities that will make your 100th day celebration engaging, fun, and memorable!
No matter what grade you teach, students will LOVE creating a 100th day necklace. Who doesn’t love an activity that’s edible?! Using this template, students will group fruit loops into
groups of 10 and then make their necklace. This activity is always number 1 in my classroom because students absolutely love it!
One of my 100th day best-sellers is this gumball craft! Students will use bingo daubers to dab 100 gumballs and glue the craft together. I recently updated it to include a jar of gumballs, so you or your students can choose which one they want to use! This activity helps build motor skills through cutting, coloring, and dabbing! Perfect for the younger students (but older students love it, too!)
Since my 100th day gumball craft was so popular, I decided to create other crafts that I think your students will love! This ladybug craft makes a great 100th day activity! Students will dab 100 spots on the ladybug and glue the craft together. You can have students assemble it like mine, or use large construction paper to draw a background! What I love about this craft is you can pair it with a lesson on habitats to have fun while learning (and celebrating the 100th day of school)!
Out of all of my 100th day crafts, this rocket craft is my favorite! I absolutely love the way the watercolored background came out! In this craft, students will cut and glue the 100th day rocket. Then, you can choose the background – use black paper and draw stars, use a white crayon and watercolor, use glue and glitter, or you can let students get creative! The possibilities are really endless! Like the ladybug craft, I love that this can be paired with a lesson on space!
Of course, the 100th day needs 100 chart activities! These fun worksheets are easy to differentiate – choose from tracing, missing numbers, or a blank 100 chart! I love using these as a 100th day center (or morning work if I have enough centers). It is also a great way to assess students on their 100 chart knowledge.
Aside from my 100th day crafts, this sticker sheet was SO MUCH FUN to make! There is something so soothing about choosing and placing stickers! It’s just as relaxing as coloring! Your students will have a blast using this sticker sheet. I always get a big bundle of stickers from Amazon or the Dollar Tree for students to choose from. It’s also extra fun if you add in some 3d stickers and smelly stickers! I guarantee your students will have a blast!
A great way to incorporate the 100th day of school into your curriculum is by using these fun writing crafts! Not only are students celebrating the 100th day but they are also working on building and improving their writing skills! Students will have a blast writing about themselves as 100 years old!
No matter how you plan to celebrate, I hope you and your students have a great time celebrating the 100th day of school! It’s important to remember that this day isn’t just about your students – YOU also made it through 100 days of school and that’s something to celebrate!!
Happy 100th day!
