On the 100th Day of School, I always like to plan a learning-filled celebration to help us commemorate the big day. Throughout the entire day, the students rotate between several 100th Day stations.

We Can Decode 100 Words

This might be one of my favorite 100th Day literacy activities! In kindergarten, we practice decoding CVC words, but this is a great way to practice decoding a variety of words containing the sounds your students have learned.

I prep the anchor chart, including the title and numbers, ahead a time. During our whole group mini lesson, I add a word to the chart. As a class, we decode the word. Then, I add a new word for us to decode together.

Letter Grab

Simply place 100 letters, both upper and lower case into a bag. You can use alphabet cards, magnetic letters, or foam letters.

Have your students it in a circle. One by one, they will pull out a letter, name the letter, and then say the letter sound. For an added challenge, you can have the students say a word that has that beginning sound.

Word Families

This a great whole class activity. You will need anchor chart paper, some markers, and a number of word families in mind.

Start with a word family and have your students think of all of the words for that word family. You can write the word, or you can share the pen and have each student tap and map each word. Repeat for all the word families, until you have a complete list of 100 words.

Beat the Clock 

Set a timer for 100 seconds. In that time, see how many times the students can write their name.

100 Autographs Book

Before concluding our 100th Day of School celebration, the Kindergarten classrooms assemble in the gym for one of my favorite traditions: collecting 100 autographs from our friends!

As a dedicated Kindergarten teacher for nearly 20 years, I believe the words “fun, play, and creativity” can sit right alongside the words “developmentally appropriate, engaging, and rigorous.” Learning is meant to be fun and messy!
