100th Day
of School
Be sure to read Miss
Bindergarten Celebrates the 100th Day of Kindergarten by Joseph Slate (available in
paperback). It has lots of great ideas in it! Also, visit Joan Holub's 100th Day of School Website.
We made trail mix
with 100 pieces. (10 each of 10 different items.)
We made 100 tally
marks. (Students make 5 tally marks in 20 squares.) Click here for sheet.
We made necklaces
with 100 Cheerios.
(Cut 1" squares of construction paper and hole punch in the center. Students
use these markers to separate the 10 groups of 10 Cheerios. You may also use Fruit
Loops as markers.)
We made
"100" glasses. Click here for the pattern.
We made designs with 100 sticky dots.
(Give students 10 sheets of 10 stickers)
You may also:
count to 100,
be silent for 100 seconds
jump 100 times
finish the sentence "I wish I had 100 ______."
Magic Penny Box:
The children count 100 pennies into a box with a slot at the
top. At the end the adult working at that table "magically" pulls out a
dollar bill from the box. You may copy fake $100 bills to run off for the kids.
100 dot design:
Get labeling dots from and office supply store and give each child 100 dots and a sheet of
paper. They can make a design on the paper with their dots.
100 cookie snack:
Give each child a stick wafer cookie (or stick pretzel) and two circle cookies to make the
number 100. Then enjoy!
Make the number 100 with
cookies & donuts!

- 100 steps walk: How far
will 100 steps take us? Take children outside to guess how far 100 steps will take
them. Then walk the 100 steps.
- 100 Items: Have students bring in bags of 100 items to share and
display (click here for my note to parents about this).
- Roll the Dice: How many
rolls does it take to get to 100? Students take turns rolling the dice, and after
each roll they count that many and color in that square on the grid (alternate marker
colors for each roll so you can count the rolls at the end). At the end we determine
how many rolls it took to get to 100. (We can estimate first.) Click here for that sheet.
- 100 beans in a jar: Three jars,
A, B, and C have beans in them. Only one jar
has 100. The children estimate which jar has 100. Then they graph their guess with a
post-it. At the end the jar with 100 is revealed.
