I am a school teacher/Behavior Interventionist and the end of the school year is approaching. I have worked with several teachers each year to do a fun countdown when the end is near. The last 26 days of school we do an ABC countdown. Each day is a letter, and we pick a theme/word for that letter and do an activity that is associated with it. It has been a HUGE hit every year and kids love it! It does not have to be complicated, and we typically only allocate like 30 minutes at the end of the day to celebrate our letter/theme. Here is a list of our ABC countdown and items to go with it. Each year we may change it up a little but have really kept it pretty consistent.
