(Tune: “When Johnny Comes Marching Home”)
We’ve been in
school 100 days. (Children
stand and march.)
Hoorah! Hoorah! (Fist
in air as if cheering.)
We’ve worked and
played 100 days.
Hoorah! Hoorah!
Zero is our Hero
today.
Now let’s all
count to celebrate!
We’ve been in
school 100 days,
And it’s been
great!
1, 2,
3,…..100! (Hold
up fingers as you count.)
Hoorah!
100 Snack –
Children count out ten each of snack foods (such as Cheerios, pretzels, Gold
Fish, raisins, m&m’s, miniature marshmallows, cheese crackers, wheat
squares, Rice Chex, peanuts, etc.) and put them in a zip bag. Shake and eat. *Adapt to the dietary needs of your
class
Cover Up –
Make 2 copies of a 100 grid. Cut
up one set and put the numbers in a zip bag. Children can play this game by themselves or with a
partner. Give them a 3 minute
timer and challenge them to cover up as many spaces as they can in the time
limit. Have them record the amount
and try to beat their score each time they play.
Hint! Adapt this game for younger children by
giving them a grid with 10 or 25 spaces.
*You can download the grid at drjean.org - January, 2007, monthly activities.

When I’m 100
– You’ll have to have a sense of humor to do this art project. Give each child a brown paper towel and
tell them to wad it up so it’s all wrinkled. Now, ask them to draw what they think they’ll look like when
they are 100.
100 Bottles
– Have each child take an empty plastic water bottle and fill it with 100
items.
