100 Days (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!
*Here are two books that you can download at drjean.org.

Make an enlarged copy of the front and back of a $100 bill. Cut paper the size of the bill and staple it between the front and the back to make a book. Let children draw pictures or write stories of what they would do if they had $100.
Note! I’ve been told that it is illegal to copy US money unless you enlarge or decrease the size and cross through the face. (Hopefully, I wont go to jail for doing this!)

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.

*Use the grid to practice writing numbers.
*Use the grid for graphing or for making patterns.
*Color even numbers one color and odd numbers another color.

Buzz
All children stand. Go around the room and have each child say a number. When they get to a set of ten they must say “buzz.” If they don’t say “buzz” they are out of the game and must sit down. The game continues until there is one person left or you reach 100.
