Celebrating the 100th Day of School

The 100th day of school is a major milestone for teachers and students.

You have tackled an enormous amount of material by then.

Your students have likely grown immensely in skills and confidence since the start of the year. 

It’s important to take a minute and look back on all that you have accomplished together.

Did I mention that the 100th day of school will likely fall in February?

We are all looking for a reason to celebrate in the middle of winter!

The cheer from these 100th day of school activities will help encourage your kids to press on toward the end of the year.

If they can accomplish so much in 100 days, imagine what they can do in 180!

100th Day of School Shirt

While you can certainly order 100th day T-shirts, you can also make your own.

Grab a plain T-shirt and some fabric pens. 

Write a message and draw, paint, or stick on items to decorate the shirt.

Feeling creative?

Add 100 items to your shirt: 100 jewels, pompoms, bandaids, fingerprints, hash marks, or googly eyes.

100th Day of School Costumes

Why stop at a T-shirt when you could wear a full-on costume?

Get into the spirit by dressing like you are 100 years old.

You can use a face-aging app to see what you would look like.

Or dress up as a historical figure from 100 years ago.

100th Day of School Writing Prompts

If you challenge your kids to dress up like they are 100 years old, have them write an autobiography by their future selves.

You can give them the prompt, “When I look back on my life, this is what stands out.”

If your kids dress up as historical figures, they can write a biography of that person. “Though [person] lived 100 years ago, we still remember him/her for…”

100th Day of School Celebrations

February is a great time to have a party!

The theme is 100, so why not have little, countable nibbles like Cheerios snack mix, fruit snacks, grapes, M&Ms, popcorn, and blueberries (you can create a plate with groups of ten)?

You can plan party games like stacking 100 cups Minute-to-Win-It style.

You could also blow up small balloons and attach tape to one side.

Then made a large 100 out of poster board and stick it to the wall. 

Play “Pin the Balloon in the Center Zero.”

100th Day of School Slideshow

Slideshows are a wonderful trip down memory lane. 

Make a quick slideshow of pictures from the beginning of the year till now. 

(I love programs like Apple’s Photos where you can click on a group of photos and press “Play Slideshow.” No extra work required!) Bonus!

You are over halfway done with a slideshow for the end of the year!
