• Have a picnic off-campus at a park or at the playground – use blankets and have the kids bring sack lunches or grill hamburger and hot dogs and play soccer or baseball
• Cool off with an ice cream sundae party! Ask the parents to each bring ice cream or a topping and let the kids take each others orders and make each others ice cream
END OF SCHOOL DECORATION IDEAS:
• Decorate with “summer fun” items like beach balls, grass skirts around the tables and sea shells

END OF SCHOOL GAME IDEAS:
• Ask for $ or a white t-shirt from each student and have the students sign each others shirts
• Ask each student to bring their baby picture to class, post them all on a board and have each of the students try to guess “who’s who”

• Pass out funny awards to each student like “class clown” or “most likely to fall asleep in class” – call out the name of the award and see if the class can guess who the award goes to
• Blow up a picture of a teacher and play “Pin the moustache on the teacher”
