Classroom Party Ideas
C-E-L-E-B-R-A-T-E Good Times
Come On!!

Want some classroom party ideas? My friends and colleagues know that I'll find any excuse to have a party, a celebration, whether its in my teaching or personal life, it doesn't matter.

I'm sure you can easily understand that classroom parties are a great way to develop student motivation in the classroom.

If you plan it right, you can have different types of parties several times a year. Be sure to include some of my classroom party games as well.

Keep in mind that you don't have to have food at every classroom party. But when you do, you need to find out about any food allergies that your students may have (most Ontario elementary schools are peanut free).

It is a very good idea to send a letter home at the beginning of the year (see my Parent Teacher Communication page) and include a section asking parents to let you know if their child has any allergies (food or other). You should also bring it up during your first parent teacher conference.

You can get your classroom party ideas from the different seasons, holidays and celebrations that occur throughout the year.
