Here is a roundup of all the 150+ End-of-the-Year Activities links that were tweeted and/or posted on the blog in the past. Perhaps you need something new?

I have been there with only a couple weeks left in the school year.  Testing is complete for the primary students, you have an end of the year checkout list longer than your arm, and the children are pretty squirrelly all around.  Not to mention your lack of sleep and stress from the year as a whole is finally starting to hit hard like jet lag.

You need some fun activities that will keep students occupied, still involve learning, and will help keep you sane in the process.  Perhaps a few of the following ideas will save the day.
