End of Year FUN Activities for Elementary School!
Let’s face it, the last few weeks of school can be chaotic! Everyone’s ready for summer break, but as the teacher you still have to plan everyday to keep the students engaged. You need SEVERAL end of the year activities! Click HERE to see more about all of the activities listed below!
What type of activities are best? A lot of teachers love giving activities where students reflect on the school year and what they learned. Memory books are a great idea. I especially love keeping their beginning of the year memory book so they can compare how much they changed throughout the school year.
Another great option is using flipbooks. These don’t take as much time as a memory book, but they can still be a fun keepsake!
Blast Off To… are some of my favorite activities since I love anything space-themed. With these activities students get to reflect on what they did throughout the school year, and they write about what they’re looking forward to in the next grade. There are several options!
Since students are REALLY looking forward to summer, give them some writing activities that get them excited about what’s to come! These summer-themed writing craftivities will give you FOUR different pieces of writing to give your students.
You don’t want to just give students writing to work on all day. Give them some fun review worksheets and color by number/code activities for math and grammar, too!
Lastly, help students give Mom and Dad a fun keepsake book for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. These are simple, independent activities that moms and dads will love. Have students who need to make one for someone else special in their lives? Both come with the same pages without the words MOM and DAD on them!
Having several options of fun activities and review worksheets will help those last weeks of school run smoothly. Keep behavior in check and keep students engaged!
