100th Day Activity For Young Ones

Here's a 100th Day of School activity that I am doing with K and 1.

Have them count to 100, patting their legs on each number, but clapping on the 10's. Then give them all hand drums, and have them play on every number, but rest on the 10's. I made a chart with the 10's numbers and a picture of the following instruments that will play on the 10, 20, 30, etc.

• 10 - guiro
• 20 - tambourine
• 30 - vibraslap
• 40 - cabasa
• 50 - woodblock
• 60 - triangle
• 70 - finger cymbals
• 80 - cowbell
• 90 - maracas
• 100 - gong

Play again with children playing the drums on all numbers and the special instruments on the 10's. Trade places and repeat.

They love it because there are lots of instruments to play, and the teachers love it because it helps with counting, etc.
