I keep each one in a Zip Lock Baggie.

To help younger students, who are just learning to count to 100, print off a class set of the 100 chart on white card stock and laminate, so that students can tehn place their puzzle pieces on the grid. 

Another 100 Day game that you can play with the filled-in 100 chart, is "Race to 100" Students pick a partner and take turns rolling the dice.  They add the numbers together, then color in that many boxes on their worksheet.  The first one to fill in the entire chart, is the winner. If you're pressed for time, have students use only one, 100 chart-worksheet. Each child uses their own color crayon to fill in their boxes. When the grid is complete, each child counts their boxes; the student with the most, is the winner.

I've included my list of 105 words that I thought of.   After students share their lists, share yours and have students look up any words that they don't know. 

I also did a bit of research about the longest recorded words, and included my discoveries.  I even found a word with 100 letters in it! Why not give students some computer time to see what they come up with, or assign this as a homework assignment to be shared on your 100th Day of school.

1-2-3 Come Do Some 100 Day Craftivities With Me

There is only so much one can accomplish in a day, and so many super-fun 100 Day ideas, that I decided long ago to do 100-Day activities over several days, culminating with an extra-special celebration on our 100th day of school.

100 day activities, 100 day crafts, 100 day games, 100 day bulletin boards, 100 day certificates, 100 day bookmarks, 100 day crowns, 100 day banners, if I were 100 years old template, aging apps for 100 day activities, With that in mind, I designed a variety of quick, easy and fun activities for you to choose from. They make terrific whole group activities, as well as independent centers.  Today I'm featuring a few of our most downloaded 100-Day craftivities.  I hope you like them.   

100 day activities, 100 day crafts, 100 day games, 100 day bulletin boards, 100 day certificates, 100 day bookmarks, 100 day crowns, 100 day banners, if I were 100 years old template, aging apps for 100 day activities, After my students complete their "table top" worksheets, they can visit the 100 Day "centers".  I set these up on wooden TV trays, where students can collect the materials they need and return to their desks to complete them. 

Run these "I'm 100 Days Smarter, and That's Something to Smile About!"  100-Day smilie-face bookmarks off, on a variety of pastel-colored construction paper.  Each child chooses one, then counts by 1s to 100, as they fill them in. When everyone is done, count the rows by 5s to also reach 100.  The master template has 5 bookmarks on a page for quick printing.

100 day activities, 100 day crafts, 100 day games, 100 day bulletin boards, 100 day certificates, 100 day bookmarks, 100 day crowns, 100 day banners, if I were 100 years old template, aging apps for 100 day activities, If you're looking for some 100 Day certificates to pass out to your kiddos, click on the link for 18.  They are in black & white and full color. 

Again, I give my students a choice of which one they want to color, and use the full color ones as awards for some of our games.

 100 day activities, 100 day crafts, 100 day games, 100 day bulletin boards, 100 day certificates, 100 day bookmarks, 100 day crowns, 100 day banners, if I were 100 years old template, aging apps for 100 day activities, My Y5's loved making and wearing crowns, so our day wouldn't have been complete without some for our 100th day of school celebration.

These three 100 Day crowns, helped reinforce counting and were set up as a center. 

Look closely at the pictures and you will see how students made 20 groups of 5 on the 100 Day Rocks crown, as well as 10 groups of 10 on the heart crown

The crown with the circle "jewels" on it, has 104 circles and includes a guess-timation activity.

There is a black and white set, as well as a color set for teachers. 

I've also included a blank 100, if you want your students to draw, dot or sticker 10 different items (10 times each) inside the numbers, to make their own creative crown.

Suggestions and links for apps are included, as well as templates for an "Oldie 100-Day Pennant Banner."

You can get plain white ones or ones in bright or neon colors.  Simply run the banner template off on  a variety of colors of construction paper.  Add school photographs for that finishing touch.  Have students trim and then hang your banner from the ceiling against a wall.

For February, it was the number 100 for our 100th Day of school celebration.

Ripping & tearing is a great fine motor skill.  Simply cut construction paper strips, in a variety of colors. 

I made mine an inch wide.  Students can choose two colors if you want them to do an ABAB pattern, or lots of colors as this child did in the pictured sample. 

I had my Y5's rip up piles of each color, and then using a glue stick, they rubbed the numbers and stuck the torn pieces of paper to them. Completed projects make a wonderful 100 Day bulletin board.

100 day bw puzzles, 100 day activities, 100 day crafts, 100 day games, 100 day bulletin boards, 100 day certificates, 100 day bookmarks, 100 day crowns, 100 day banners, if I were 100 years old template, aging apps for 100 day activities, Finally, since the full color 100 Day puzzles were such a huge hit, I thought I'd make some 100 Day number puzzles in black and white, so that your students can choose one and color their own. 

There are 15 puzzles, which help students practice counting from 1-10, count backwards from 10 to 1, as well as skip count by 10s to 100

Treat them as an independent puzzle-center activity, or do as a whole group activity.  For an interesting 100 Day bulletin board, have students glue their puzzle pieces onto a sheet of construction paper.  For an awesome mosaic effect, have children leave a little space in-between each piece.

Besides all of those math activities, add some word fun to your 100 Day celebration.  Using the letters in the words one hundred, challenge your students to list as many words as they can think of, before 100 seconds is up and the timer rings.  Who thought of the most words?  Who had the longest word?

Increase their finger dexterity and fold paper to form the number 100 and make a "growth" card comparing their weight and height from the 1st day of school to the 100th day.

I LOVE hippo’s and thought the above play on words would be appropriate.  Harley and Helga were fun to draw.  I hope you enjoy them. I designed the following hippo-riffic activities around them:

        •  Another reason is that my students are learning to read from left to right so if I want to count by 10’s to 100 it’s easier for them to “see” that if the numbers are on the left going to the right.

          "O-fish-ally" 100 Days Smarter!

          I LOVE play on words, not that younger students always “get it” but hopefully their parents will, and appreciate a teacher’s efforts at creating special things to make their child’s days at school extra fun.

          I was inspired by Mary Beth’s “O-fish-ally” play on words on her Nothing But Country site, where she attached a die cut fish to bags of cinnamon cookie fish, as gifts for Teacher Appreciation Week. Click on the link to see this cute idea.

          I revamped this concept for a quick and inexpensive thing teachers can whip together for their students for 100 Day. I chose the colored Goldfish and put 20 in netting.  These tulle circles are sold at The Dollar Store (20 in a pack).

Tie shut with curling ribbon or yarn and you are done in a jiffy!

          I made a poem to go with it, so students can practice their rhyming skills.  There’s one for August as well as September.  Here in Michigan we don’t start ‘til after Labor Day.

          Many teachers also have 100 Day counting mats where students put 10 things in each one of the circles and then count by 10’s.  Students could munch down 10 goldfish and then use the other 10 fishy crackers for one of their counters on the mat.

            "Reinforcing" Counting and Fine Motor Skills!

I revamped her concept with this idea just in time for 100 Day!

            • Run off the 5x7 circle template on blue construction paper, or if you want your picture’s background bigger like mine, make circle templates from a file folder and students can trace larger banner-size backgrounds, or a room helper can have these traced for younger students.  Make sure to remind students if they are tracing that they need to leave a gap in between the circles.

            • You can keep things simple for younger students and have them just follow the circle outlines and make only a reinforcement hole snowman. They can then add details with colored chalk.

Press the eraser on the blue background to make 26 snowflakes. 
            • If you’ve followed the amount of dots and reinforcement holes used on my picture they will equal 74.  74 + 26 snowflakes will give students 100 dots to spot!
            • These look nice hung on an aluminum foil background on your bulletin board, or punch a hole in either corner, add a yarn tie and hang back-to-back from the ceiling or in a row along the top wall in your hallway.  Brrr-illiant!

              Punched 100 Day Banners

              100 day banner, 100 day ideas, 100 day activities, 100 day bulletin boards, 100 day bulletin board ideas, 100 day bookmarkI wanted to give you plenty of time to dash off to the store to get some cool metal punches or track down the teacher or scrapbook queen who has a great collection, so that you can borrow them for 100 Day, so I’m posting this 100 Day idea a bit early for some of you, others may be celebrating in January all-to-soon!

              This quick and easy center makes an awesome bulletin board, or punch a hole in the top corners, slide a piece of yarn through and you’ve got lovely banners to hang back-to-back from the ceiling or as a border along the top wall of your hallway.

              Simply set up a table with a variety of punches, this could also be done with stamps or stickers.  Add a student's picture in the top corner and you've made a nice keepsake.

              Inform your students that the things they cut out or stamp will take the place of zeros, and that they will also need to make a 1 to go in front.

              Since my punches are large, I cut construction paper banners that were 5 ½ x 11 ½.  Make yours smaller if you’re using stamps or stickers.   These will make cute bookmarks.

              To expedite things and make the banners pop, I made up labels.  You could also have your students practice their writing skills and have them write at the top and bottom of their banners.

              I’m posting the label templates in DOC format so that you can simply type in something else if you want.

              Highlight my name and type in your students’ names.  Put Avery labels in your printer (my printer has them face-down) and click print.  I do ONE sheet at a time. Click on the links to view/print the 100 Day, name label #1 and 100 days smarter label #2 

              Put your labels at your table top center.  Students find their name, peel and stick!  Click on the link to view/print the article's directions & pix, 100-Day Banner idea.   Click on the link to zoom to my other 100-Day FREEBIES.
