Back to school activities.
Exciting Back to School Activities for Kids of Different Grades.
1.Make a Personalized Backpack
This is a great way to get your child excited about going back to school. Help them pick out a new backpack, and then let them decorate it however they want. They can use fabric paint, markers, stickers, and anything else they can think of.
2. Create a “First Day of School” Crown
This is a fun and easy way to commemorate the first day of school. All you need is some construction paper, scissors, and glue. Just help your child cut out the crown shape and then decorate it however they want. They can add their name, the date, or anything else they want.
3.Paint a Picture of Their Classroom
This is a great way to help your child feel prepared for the first day of school. Go on a walk to their school and then have them paint a picture of it when you get home. It will help them feel like they know the place before they even step foot in it.
4. Make a “Back to School” Countdown Chain
A countdown chain is a fun way to help your child feel excited about the return to school. Just cut out strips of paper and write down something different that they can look forward to for each day (i.e., “1 more day until I get to see my friends again!”).
5. Have a “Back to School” Themed Breakfast
Start the first day of school off right with a special breakfast. You can make pancakes in the shape of pencils or cut fruit into the shape of apples. Get creative and have fun with it!
6. Back to School Photo Shoot
This is a great way to document your child’s growth from year to year. Dress them up in their first-day-of-school outfit and take some pictures. Then, do the same thing next year and compare the two sets of photos. It’s sure to be a cherished memory.
