100 Days Activities, Rhymes, Printables, and 100 Days Book Suggestions

100 Collection
Have each student bring in a collection of 100 small items, such as paper clips, cotton balls, or pennies. Provide a poster board and let children create an artwork with the items.

100 Paper Chains
Break the class into 10 groups. Have each group make 10 paper chains. Come together and attach all chains to make a 100 paper chain.

100 Jumping Jacks
Have children spread out in the classroom or outside and lead them in ten sets of ten jumping jacks. Ask children for other ways the sets of jumping jacks can be divided for subsequent days. Then, do 100 jumping jacks using a different number pattern. Make sure children have enough rest between sets and access to water. Encourage children to only do the number of jumping jacks they feel most comfortable with. If desired, the sets of jumping jacks can be spread throughout the day so that everyone gets a chance to do 100 over a longer time period with many rests in between.

100 Piece Puzzle
Break the class into groups and have them put together 100-piece puzzles.

100 Structure

Provide 100 blocks, or paper cups, and let children create a structure.

Make one hundred, oh so fine.

We can go back to zero
And start once again...

We've come together to sing and to say,
