End of The Year Activity Tip 1: Pick A Theme!

Obviously, the last day of school activities will be done over Zoom.  To get your class excited, make things unique and different from your normal routine.

Get your creative juices flowing by picking a theme for your last week of school virtual activities.  Perhaps you’d normally be going on a field trip somewhere.  Why not make the field trip destination the theme for your virtual activities? 

Were you supposed to go visit a farm?  Do a farm theme!  Were you supposed to visit an aquarium?  Do an ocean theme!

Once you have a theme picked out you can start planning the last day of school digital activities around that theme.  Watch a virtual field trip.  Try an art project.  Play digital games. 

End of The Year Activity Tip 2: Explore Special Topics!

With the excitement of summer comes difficulty paying attention to regular subjects.  Still, you want to give your class as many learning opportunities right to the very end.

If you’ve wrapped up your regular curriculum introduce enriching topics that are fun to explore!  Are there topics that you know kids would love to dig into?  Make the end of the year digital learning activities fun by studying those areas.

Some things kids love to learn about include bugs or rainbows.  Anything that involves getting messy or artistic is a fave.  Anything that offers cool science experiments is great!

Exploring one-of-a-kind subjects will make the last week of school engaging for kids and a fun way to wrap up the year.
