No Prep Digital ABC Countdown

Digital ABC Countdown

You asked and I listened!  I know you don't want your virtual students missing out on all of the end-of-year fun. You would like to keep the same routines in place whenever possible to bring that normalcy to them.  So, I did it.  I revamped my printable end-of-year ABC Countdown into a brand-new digital version.  There was no way to take the exact same activities and make them digital, so this is a brand-new version that will bring the same excitement digitally!

This is a Google Slides resource with an interactive Table of Contents on slide one.

Each day, you just click the letter for the day and that will take you directly to the slide for that day.  Here's an example!

You'll just click play on the video showing on the laptop and students will follow along!  On this day, students will create origami sunglasses so they will need a piece of paper.  The great thing about these activities is there is never anything to print or copy and the most require no materials.  If they do require materials, it's never more than a piece of paper and a pencil.

If for some reason, you want to change the video selected - maybe you just finished studying sharks and really want your students to make origami sharks instead - you can simply delete the video and go to INSERT > VIDEO and paste the URL of the new video you'd like to appear on that slide instead.

The flexibility makes it perfectly adaptable to your classroom, but the activities selected should be appropriate for 1st-5th grades.

Most videos are 5-10 minutes but if you're looking to make each countdown activity last a little longer, I've include extension ideas for each activity.  Of course, these activities were chosen to only need paper/pencil also.  No copies - No prep.  This is mean to make the ABC Countdown an easy-to-use, stress free activity.  We all know teachers already have enough stress at the end of the  school year!
