Optional Supplies:
I was really intentional about creating activities that would not require an added expense. Almost all of these activities/centers use common classroom supplies.
Of course, black lights, fluorescent Astrobrights card stock, glow bracelets and highlighters will create a fun glowing effect! Before purchasing the black lights, you may want to ask families if they have black lights you can borrow for the day.
Don’t have glow dice or glow cups? No problem! Simply use regular dice and regular cups.
Although these are not all necessary, here is a list of the supplies I recommend:
- Astrobrights Fluorescent Card Stock
- Yellow Highlighters
- Empty Water Bottles (for bowling)
- Glow Bracelets (for bowling, word builders, shape builders and alphabet builders)
- Neon Black Light Cups or Regular Cups (for glowing word families)
- Black Light / Glow in the Dark Dice or Regular Dice (for dice games and glow letters)
- Bright Yellow, Green or Orange Play Dough (for CVC words)
- Black Lights
Enjoy celebrating the end of the year with these Glow Day activities!

The Perfect Way to Celebrate a Successful Year!
Our end-of-the-year class party was an absolute hit! It was the perfect way to celebrate all the hard work and growth my students have made over the year. We had games, music, snacks, and lots of laughter—it was a fun and memorable way to wrap up the school year. The students loved the themed activities, and it was so rewarding to see them excited and proud of their accomplishments. I also appreciated how easy it was to organize, with clear guidelines and suggestions for activities. Whether it’s a small class or a larger group, this party idea is perfect for creating positive closure and a sense of achievement for everyone. Highly recommend for teachers looking to end the year on a high note!
