Free Summer Learning Activities for Kindergarten and 1st Grade

It’s our virtual Teacher Appreciation Week celebration and i’m back with another day full of fun freebies! Today we are talking all about end of the year activities for kindergarten and first grade. These summer learning activities include ideas you can use the last few weeks of school and summer choice boards you can send home!

Summer Learning Activities Choice Boards

These summer choice mats are full of summer learning activities perfect for kindergarten! But even better? I have included an editable version of both mats so you can use them with ANY grade!

These mats would be perfect to send home or put in a summer review packet at the end of the year. Going completely virtual for right now? This blog post will show you how to EASILY make these mats digital!

Grab your summer choice math and literacy boards here.

Summer Directed Drawing

This summer scene directed drawing would be fun to do the last few weeks of school if you do a summer theme, or at home with your own kids! We have really enjoyed doing these directed drawings in our virtual meetings as well.

Grab the directed drawing here.

“You Write” Summer Emergent Reader

For this summer writing activity, students will finish the sentence on each page with something they can do in the summer. This is a great way to practice stretching out words and to give students a personalized summer reading activity.

Get the printable book here.

I have also made this activity digital with Google Slides:

Students can type three things that they can do in the summer. This also includes a slide without the sentence starters.
