100 Paper Chains
Break the class into 10 groups. Have each group make 10 paper chains. Come together and attach all chains to make a 100 paper chain.
100 Jumping Jacks
Have children spread out in the classroom or outside and lead them in ten sets of ten jumping jacks. Ask children for other ways the sets of jumping jacks can be divided for subsequent days. Then, do 100 jumping jacks using a different number pattern. Make sure children have enough rest between sets and access to water. Encourage children to only do the number of jumping jacks they feel most comfortable with. If desired, the sets of jumping jacks can be spread throughout the day so that everyone gets a chance to do 100 over a longer time period with many rests in between.

One Hundredth Day Song
Original Author Unknown
(Tune: Here We Go 'Round the Mulberry Bush)
One H-U-N-D-R-E-D is a very special number to me,
Ten sets of ten all in a line,
Make one hundred, oh so fine.
Shout: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100!
We can get there by ten's,
We can get there by five's
We can go back to zero
And start once again...
Shout: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100!
We've been together for 100 days,
Learning and growing in so many ways,
We've come together to sing and to say,
Happy, Happy, Hundredth Day!
