End of Year Activities: The Last-Week Survival Kit
The last week of school has more energy and less structure than any other - and it is still a teaching week. The trick is wrapping review and celebration into games.
This kit runs on printable, no-prep activities that hold a class together until the final bell.
Memory and celebration
- Year-in-review bingo - prompts from the year's field trips, projects and books
- Superlative awards - funniest laugh, best helper, most curious
- Time capsule - a letter to next-year self
- Class photo wall rebuild
Review that still teaches
Last-week review does not have to be a packet. A bingo round from the year's vocabulary or a trivia relay in teams covers the review while the class plays.
Calm wind-downs
- Word searches from the year's favorite topics
- Reading corner blocks with a timer
- Clean-up stations with a countdown game
