I understand~
By URMySunshine

It does seem that every class seems to do the same thing every year. Our 100th day is tomorrow. We are doing some of the 'same old stuff' like the snack, but we are doing some other things as well:
1 - Gather in a circle
and count to 100, with each child saying a number until we get to 100.
2 - Ask the children to spread their hands so they can see ten fingers then use them to count by tens to 100 with each child flashing all ten fingers when it is their turn.
3 - Count by ones and with each group of ten, have children move their bodies in different ways.
4 - Have a large 100 number grid.

Cover a space when the children's eyes are closed, then have them guess which number is covered. (This can also be done in small groups and the kids can take turns covering the numbers with Unifix cubes.
5 - Using a number grid have them discover a special message by coloring in these numbers that you call out: 22, 24, 25, 26, 28, 29, 30, 32, 34, 26, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, 60, 62, 64, 66, 68, 70, 72, 74, 75, 76, 78, 79, 80. (This will make the number 100.)
6 - We see how many people can make 100 on an AR test. (I make stickers that say, 'AR 100')
7 - At recess take 100 steps.
8 - Be quiet for 100 seconds. (One of my favorites!)
9 - I downloaded a 100 Day Kit from an online site (A-Z teacher stuff) which had a cute book called 100 Arms and Legs about a centipede that we will read and use.
10 - We will write using the prompt, "If I had 100 arms and legs...

Hope you find something! Have fun!
