Jumping to 100 - Another 100th Day of School Activity

My Kindergartener recently celebrated her 100th Day of school. She had a celebration at school with lots of fun activities but me being me, I couldn't let it pass without having some 100th Day fun at home as well!

Yesterday I shared our 100 Dot Sticker Art
Today I want to share a fun game we played to practice counting by 10's to 100
Jumping to 100
This game practices counting by tens, number recognition
and gets kids moving - working on those gross motor skills!


Set up for this was simple & quick.
I used our couch pillows -
kids love to jump on furniture 
they don't normally get to jump on so this added
an extra element of FUN!

I took some index cards and wrote #'s 10-100
counting by 10's and taped them onto the pillows
in random/mixed up order.

The Lil Divas had to start at 10 and
jump their way to 100!


They enjoyed it so much,
and wanted to do it over & over again.
I just kept mixing up the pillows
and they continued to have fun jumping to 100.

Of course a celebratory double fist pump
is a requirement once you make it to 100 :)


Have fun jumping to 100!

Dot Sticker Art - A 100th Day of School Activity

I have a ton of dot stickers.
While thinking about the Oldest Diva's
100th Day of School,
I had a fun idea to present the Lil Divas w/a challenge:
use 100 dot stickers to create art.

They could do whatever they wanted,
but they had to use all 100 dot stickers.
No more than 100
& no less than 100.

They were up for the challenge!
Can you tell who created what?


Here's what the Lil Divas created:

A Garden Scene -

Do you see the little girl?
There's also a sun & clouds, 
grass, flowers and a tree
and a balloon floating in the air.

A Rainbow -

a simple rainbow surrounded by a dot frame.

I love how something as simple as dot stickers
could inspire such different ideas in each of them.

What would you make with 100 dot stickers?
