Fun Ways to Celebrate the 100th Day of School
and Make It Memorable
+ A Free Scoop
You have been building anticipation all year by counting the days of school, and now is time is near to celebrate all the learning of the past 100 days. Of course, this day needs to be extra special. What activities can you do to make the day memorable? After all, it is days like this that will be remembered by many students for years to come, but learning, of course, is a must too. However, that is not too hard when it is a day centered on the number 100.
The 100th Day Parade...with Style
The first time I attended a 100th Day of School celebration was when I was in college completing my kindergarten practicum class. The 100th day parade was definitely the center piece of the day. I later created these fun 100th day glasses and 100 day crown for students to wear during the parade. With these being print and craft, it is simple for students to sport these during a 100 day parade or 100 day red carpet event.
Of course, some may have t-shirts made or host a dress up day. However, these can always still be worn too or used for students who did not dress up. No child is left out of the festivities when you have these print and go 100 day glasses and crowns.


Building to 100
That container of math cubes or other blocks can easily be transformed for students to build something with a 100 items. This center activity encourages creative thinking and problem solving skills while reinforcing knowledge of how to count to a 100. It is a sure way to help students deepen their connections in their brain as they count to 100…in a creative way. Also, since it is such an engaging activity, it is easy for students to stay focused on the task.
Math Challenge...How Many Ways to a 100?
Have students count to 100 in various ways by skip counting. They can use a 100 chart or complete other skip counting activities to 100. It is also fun to chant in class too.


Crafts & Writing Prompts
The 100th day of school would not be complete without a fun writing craft about envisioning their life over a 100 year period. This really is one of those writing prompts that really gets their wheels turning. I can recall pondering about reaching 100 years old in second grade actually. We did not celebrate the 100th day in those days, but it was just something that came up as discussion that stuck with me. That is why I do believe this is one of the more valuable writing prompts you could do the entire year, and it also duals as a great bulletin board display too.
You could do these fully as no prep, but you could also add cotton balls for the hair to make them extra fun.
Work Out to 100
There is no way to be bored with counting to a 100 when it gets your students up and moving! Especially when it is things like flap like a butterfly or stomp like a dinosaur. My Digital 100th Day of School Resource has these in Google Slides and PowerPoint formats, so you can easily project them on the board. The digital option is offered separately from the printable option.


Rhyme to 100
Add a science of reading twist to the 100th day with a rhyme to 100 activity. While this can be a done fully as a phonological activity, having students help you write out the list on the board will steer students to make more connections in their brains.
Scoop to 100 Math Group Project

You can have your students work in groups or as a class to build a giant ice cream cone with math facts to 100 or optionally to 10 if your students are not ready for that yet.
The math facts group project option is an additional activity can be found in my Math Bundle. Note: The math facts option is an additional resource found in my Math Bundle, but I also do offer an individual craft option below where students can add count to a 100 by adding sprinkles.


Use a Tens Frame to Count to 100
Speaking of sprinkles. You can use the 100 Show tens frame mat in the Math Bundle for students to count out their 100 sprinkles. Here, I used cut up straws for the sprinkles because it was a cost effective way to provide 100 of something to each student and provided some fun colors too! Each student can cut five straws into twenty pieces each.
