The end of the school year is the ideal time to slow down, review familiar content and give students a chance to reflect on all they have experienced and learned. Closing activities don’t have to be an extra burden: they can be meaningful, fun and still promote learning. In this post, we propose resources for different levels that combine review, creativity and a positive end to the school year. Whether working on vocabulary, cultural content or personal reflection, these ideas will help you end the year with purpose and joy.
For Preschool
This simple and visual activity helps children to reinforce counting and vocabulary about the family. Through images with different family nuclei and hands showing numbers with their fingers, students must count how many members there are in each family and match the correct number. An ideal proposal to work on mathematical logic, the number-quantity relationship, observation and language in a close and meaningful context.
For Primary
This resource is ideal for closing the school year with individual reflections from each student, encouraging creativity. Through a template with guided sections, students recall their favourite moments, what they have learned and their favorite activities. The activity combines writing and drawing, culminating in the creation of a personalized mini-book that each student can take home as a souvenir.
For Secondary
This activity invites students to explore the world through English. Using a map and guiding questions, they investigate in groups different English-speaking countries, discovering curious facts, traditions and geographic locations. It is a proposal that encourages cooperative work, oral expression in English and curiosity for other cultures. The moment of sharing their discoveries in class becomes an enriching and fun experience.
The end of the school year is not only a goal, but also an opportunity to celebrate achievements, review what has been learned and create memories that will last. These activities are designed to facilitate a smooth transition into the holidays, maintaining interest in learning in a relaxed and collaborative environment. Choose the ones that best suit your classroom and let your students enjoy their last days with curiosity, confidence and a smile.
