ABC Countdown to Summer Activities for Upper Grades:

These fun and rigorous ABC countdown to summer activities for upper elementary grades are perfect for you if you want your students to stay engaged during the final FIVE WEEKS of school!

Every activity includes ALL the printables you’ll need to complete the activities.

Each day corresponds to a letter of the alphabet, so there are 26 interactive activities.

ONLY 3 activities require supplies above and beyond printing and copying. These supplies include glue, tape, string, scissors, toothpicks, and marshmallows (or play dough). The other 23 activities can be completed simply by printing and copying the pages in this product.

These are the alphabet activity topics by day:

A – Awesome Autobiographies
B – Bodacious Book Lists
C – Cootie Catcher Compliments
D – A Dozen Doodles
E – Epic Emblems
F – Farewell to the Faculty
G – Groovy Goal Globes
H – Hashtag High Fives
I – Interest Inventory Interviews
J – Just Joking!
K – Kindness Keepsakes
L – Lyrical Limericks
M – Most Magnificent Memories
N – Notable News
O – Opposing Opinions
P – Personality Poems
Q – Quick-n-Quirky Questions
R – Reliable Recipes
S – It’s a SIGN!
T – Toothpick Towers
U- Uniquely U!
V – Vivacious Vocabulary
W – Worthwhile Wishes
X- Autograph EXchange
Y – Year-in-Review
Z – Zoom Out Evaluation

Not only are these alphabet countdown activities engaging, they continue to address curriculum standards, including sequencing using a timeline, persuasive writing, note-taking, poetry, and more!

Each page is labeled with a letter in the bottom right corner for organization purposes. In addition, activities that require an explanation include a full page of tips and instructions for the teacher.

The planning guide (3 pages) at the beginning of the product also gives teachers a quick reference guide for printing tips (which pages can be copied back-to-back, for example) and allows teachers to schedule each activity.

You can combine some activities if you don’t have 26 days left in the school year! Many activities require at least an hour during the day, but some are shorter. Consider your class’s needs as you plan each activity and decide which days you can combine.

NOTE: THIS FILE INCLUDES A DIGITAL DISTANCE LEARNING OPTION!

This product includes a digital option (as well as the no prep printable option). The instructions for utilizing the digital portion appear at the end of the packet.

This PDF file contains 86 pages + Google Slides™.

    My class loved this! Fun, mostly short, activities that kept the class engaged and talking. Liked that the countdown was letters not numbers. I think it kept the end of the “crazies” down to a minimum because the number of days left wasn’t so obvious, but it was still a countdown. When I needed a modification, the seller was quick to reply and make happen. I will use this every year!!!

  151. DeShunta Adams 

    Thank you.

  152. Elizabeth Bandola 

    It is difficult to find fun and engaging count down activities for my students. When I found this, I was so excited to introduce a countdown for my 4th and 5th grade students. We had a blast doing the activities, especially when it came to activities that were more hands on.

    My students have loved these activities so far! We still have three weeks left of school which gives us plenty of time to complete the list of activities! I suggest buying and using this resource. Thank you!

  157. Sara C

    I think a sample page for each activity would be nice. This would allow the kids to have a sample to see other than myself filling it out. Otherwise, kids liked the variety of the activities each day.

  158. Callan G

    Filled with engaging activities for the end of the year! I especially enjoyed the STEM activity with the toothpicks and marshmallows!

  159. Cassandra L

    This was a lofty purchase. I thought I would have enough time the final days of school to enjoy them each day with the class but our time was always cut short. I did a pick and choose on some of the days for a quick exercise if time allowed. My favorite activities were the interviews, they included different questions then the typical.

  160. Kendra H

    Great way to help end the year.
