Celebrate the end of the school year with Classroom Connections: End of the School Year Edition! This fun, interactive, no-prep printable gets students talking, reflecting, and making connections with classmates as they look back on the school year and look ahead to summer.
 
Students begin by writing three answers for each end-of-year themed category. Then they take turns comparing answers with their classmates. Every time another student shares one of their answers, they add a tally mark. The student with the most matching answers wins!  This game works well as a teacher-led, full class activity giving each student the chance to talk about their answers and find connections.
 
This engaging activity combines reflection, conversation, movement, and friendly competition while helping students celebrate the friendships and memories they've made throughout the year.
