I love to use theme days towards the end of the school year, and in this blog post you’ll find 10 end of year theme days that I love to use with my students.
Why Theme Days?
People often ask me why I go through the hassle and stress of planning theme days for the end of the school year each year.. And honestly it’s because I find them perfect to store most materials away year after year.. So I’m just recycling a lot of materials. Plus, they’re always fun for staff and students alike.
Using theme days at the end of the year has always been a great way for me to keep students engaged and excited as the school year draws to a close.
What Are the Benefits?
Personally, I do feel like that there are a huge range of benefits for using end of year theme days. But I think that the top 5 benefits are most probably;
- They encourage creativity and imagination.
- The theme days provide opportunities for hands-on learning.
- They help students to develop critical thinking skills.
- The days build a sense of community and teamwork.
- They provide a fun and memorable way to end the school year
