100th day of school wheel

About this wheel

The 100th day of school is a milestone worth marking, and this wheel picks the activity. Spin it to get one of 40 ideas in four groups of ten: Count to 100, Move for 100, Make and build, and Think and write. Each one uses simple supplies from a classroom.

Teachers can spin once for the whole class or set up stations and let a group spin at each one. Choose Move for 100 when students need to burn off energy, and Make and build for a craft block. Count to 100 reinforces skip counting and place value, while Think and write fits a quiet writing slot.

Show the wheel on the board with Fullscreen and press the Space bar to spin. Keep the wheel on Everyone once so no station repeats during the day. To fit your class, edit the list box: delete anything you cannot do and add your own ideas, one per line.

Questions

How do I plan a whole 100th day with the wheel?

Spin once for each part of the day: one count, one move, one make and one think activity. Choose each group above the wheel in turn. You will have four activities with a mix of movement and quiet work.

What supplies do I need?

Most ideas need only paper, cups, beads, blocks or small items you already have in class. Check the slice before you start, and spin again if you do not have what it needs.

Can students spin for themselves?

Yes. Put the wheel on a shared device or the board and call students up one at a time. Everyone once keeps each idea from coming up twice.

Can I add my own 100th day ideas?

Yes. Type each idea on its own line in the list box. Keep each under 60 characters so it fits on the slice. Press Save a copy to keep the list for next year.
