The 100th day of school is a special milestone that our kiddos love celebrating! It’s the perfect opportunity to incorporate fun and educational activities into your day. If you’re looking for 100th day of school activities for kindergarten or first grade, you’re in the right place!
How do you celebrate 100 days of school?
Here are five creative ways to mark the occasion while reinforcing important skills.
1. Create a 100th Day Crown
Start the day by having students make their own 100th Day crowns! You can provide pre-made templates or let them design their own with the number 100 front and center. It’s a simple activity that gets students excited and sets the tone for the day.
2. Build a 100-Item Structure
Challenge students to work in teams to create a structure using 100 items, like plastic cups, craft sticks, q-tips, or even blocks! This fun and creative activity encourages problem-solving, teamwork, and creativity. Plus, it’s a great way to tie in STEM concepts!
3. 100 Acts of Kindness Challenge
Spread kindness throughout your school by encouraging students to complete 100 acts of kindness as a class. Write each act on a sticky note and display them on a board or wall. I love this activity because it’s such a meaningful way to celebrate while teaching empathy and teamwork.
4. 100th Day Writing Prompts
Get your students thinking and writing with prompts like, “If I had $100, I would…” or “In 100 years, I think…” This activity combines creativity and literacy, making it both fun and educational!
5. 100-Themed Centers and Activities
Set up 100th Day of school-themed centers where students can practice counting to 100, sorting objects, or creating a craft with 100 items. These hands-on activities are engaging and help reinforce math and fine motor skills.
