Embassy Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I know many of you have recently finished a school year or are about to finish a school year. I'm looking for fun ideas to incorporate into the last day of school. Our last day of school won't involve any formal work so I'm looking for some celebratory ideas. Someone gave me the idea for our first day of school activities. We had a box day where new school books were wrapped as presents. We also had first day of school pictures and played games together. The opening of presents was a hit. So I'm looking for some ways to wrap up our school year and have another hit on my hands;) Any ideas?

ElizabethB Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 We are planning a big water balloon fight. I have been holding off on water balloons, telling them they have to wait until it is at least 90...so they are actually very excited about "early" water balloons. Also, with friends that do MFW, a Hawaii themed dinner party to celebrate finishing MFW Adventures. (Hawaii is the last state.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissKNG Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Friday is our last day of Kindergarten and we are going to the zoo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellen in PA Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 We will probably go to our local amusement park (we have annual passes) or the beach and of course go out to eat which is real treat!:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukeswife Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Every year except for the last one we would go to the local Children's Museum. Last year we couldn't because they were doing a huge remodel. We're all very excited because they are finally reopening tomorrow and we'll get our end of year field trip back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen in CO Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Our last day of school coordinates with a big, local event that includes an air show. We'll be having a picnic and going to an air show, right after we do our math and phonics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommyto4 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Thanks for this thread! This is our first year of home schooling and I hadn't really thought of an end of year celebration just for our family. What a great thing to do as we do need to celebrate finishing a year. I think a trip to a special park with a picnic and ice cream on the way home may work. To start it as a yearly tradition is a great idea too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
