Here are a few activities that showcase some 100th day activities that we did as a class
We made 100th day capes from white t-shirts. I'll put a tutorial on how to cut the shirts soon. I found a cute note via Pinterest and another blogger where she sends shirts home as a family project that has to have 100 items on it before they can get their superpowers. I learned about this super cute idea when my son's Rockin' kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Johnna Harris, sent this project home to complete. I loved the idea but learned about it when it was too late to send home last year. So, instead of sending the capes home as a family project, I drew each kids' first initial on the back and we drew 10 sets of 10 pics on the back for 100 as one of our 100th day activities.
For a super cute (and FREE) parent letter of the family cape project, click on the link below for Mrs. Miners blogspot.
Here is how I cut the shirts to make capes:
Start with a white (or colored) shirt (any size will do)
Using scissors, cut shirt beginning at the bottom corner and cut at an angle all the way to the top collar band.
Do not cut through the collar
Cut both sides up to collar so that your shirt will open up as image above
Then, cut around the band of the T-shirt as shown in the image above and below
Voila! You have a homemade cape! Enjoy!
One thing our class does is find out where we will end up if we take 100 steps from our classroom door. Of course, we never make it quite as far as the kids think we will go, but their estimations are fun to record. When we reach our 100 step destination, we attach a sign to the wall (like the image above) that shows everyone where we got too.
The images above show some ideas of pictures the kids can make with the numbers in 100. Love this Pinterest inspired idea. With kinders, they may need explicit directions for how to arrange and draw details to obtain the image they desire. Another fun one!!
This is me as a 100 year old lady thanks to an age progression app. I also did this with each of my students and they thought it was hilarious. It was free and fairly simple to use. There are quite a few free age progression apps to choose from, so you can pick which one you like best.
For our 100th day snack, our class orders 4 pepperoni pizzas. Each pizza has 25 pepperonis on it for a total of 100 yummy pepperonis!
We used a tally sheet to mark how many licks it took to reach the center of a tootsie roll pop. This is one activity that I will probably not repeat unless I can find the mini tootsie roll pops. The kids loved it at first, but after about 200 licks...our "lickers" were all licked out. I'll repost how the mini pops work if I can find some. For the tally sheet, I drew off a grid so the kids could draw ten tallys in each box for easier counting.
For 100 day homework, I sent home a note and ziplock bag with instructions to bring in 100 objects. The only disclaimer was that all 100 items had to fit inside the bag, and all the items had to be the same type. I also listed examples of things in the letter. The letter, hats, and zip bags all came from
Really Good Stuff, but it would not be hard to replicate. Next time, I'm just going to send home generic ziplock bags.
This was our 100 cup structure. I set it up as one of our math stations, and it was fun and very noisy when it came tumbling down. I don't think we ever made it to 100 without the cups crashing down,but it was fun to try.
For our door, we painted a 100 sign using our handprints. I love this one! Even though there aren't 100 fingers or hands, I still like it cause it is easy and super cute!
Besides eating a pizza for our special day, we also make a gigantic paper pizza with 100 toppings. I chose to do 5 different toppings with 20 of each. We all gather around with our glue sticks and take turns adding the toppings.
This activity is similar to the pizza, but we did 100 jelly beans in the jar. There are 10 jelly beans of each color for 100 jelly beans.
