Fun Friday Activities and Classroom Ideas
Classroom Games

Or you can consider getting this fun printable charades game from my TpT storefront.
Not only do games promote teamwork and critical thinking skills, but they also provide a much needed break from traditional learning methods.
Outdoor Activities
If weather permits, take advantage of the great outdoors by organizing outdoor activities for your class. Whether it’s a nature scavenger hunt, a picnic lunch, or a friendly game of Capture the Flag, jump rope, four square, etc.
Spending time outside allows students to connect with nature while getting some much-needed fresh air and exercise.
Creative Arts and Crafts
Allow your kiddos to tap into their creative side through arts and crafts. You can grab fun crafts from your local craft store or dollar store and set up a crafting station where students can work on a specific craft or DIY projects. Friendship bracelets, Origami creations, or rock painting are some fun activities you can consider for your students.
Your students will be able to express themselves creatively through crafts while strengthening their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.
Movie or Documentary Screening
What better way to end the week with a movie or documentary related to your lesson plan?! Encourage your students to pay attention and participate in a discussion afterward to deepen their understanding of the topic.
You can also go the extra mile and provide popcorn or other snacks to make the experience even more enjoyable.
Bingo Games
Playing bingo as a fun Friday classroom activity brings excitement and engagement to the learning environment. The anticipation of dabbing or crossing pictures or words on the bingo card gives students a sense of accomplishment.
As they listen attentively as you call out words or things, they will reinforce their listening skills.
Playing bingo as a whole class fosters a sense of community within the classroom, promoting social interaction and collaboration among peers. It’s also a fantastic way to end the week on a high note, combining learning with fun in a classroom setting.
