I’ve shared before how upper elementary students love seasonal fun, too. If you’re ready to embrace the Leap Year (you only get the chance every 4 years, so why not??), I have a full day of Leap Year lesson plans for leap day celebrations in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades!

Leap Year Activities Bundle

Looking for an “easy” button that has all of the Leap Year activities you need? This Leap Year Activities Bundle is it! These engaging Leap Day activities challenge students to think critically and apply their new knowledge about Leap Year. With activities ranging from critical thinking morning work to Leap Day Reader’s Theatres, an entire day’s worth of Leap Day activities is included! The pages stand alone, so you can mix and match to meet your students’ varying needs.

Leap Year Reading Activities

With these Leap Year literacy activities, you’ll cover critical thinking, making connections, inference, reading comprehension, fluency, point of view, and using text evidence!

Leap Year Reader’s Theaters

This bundle includes FOUR reader’s theater scripts. If you’re nervous about using reader’s theater with your students due to accountability, learn more about how I use it in this post!

The other literacy activities include:

• Critical thinking morning work for Leap Day
• Fictional passage with comprehension questions
• Leap Year Informational passage

Leap Year Math Activities

For math, you have Leap Year math activities for practicing geometry, place value, equations, operations, measurement, word problems, multiplication, division, and mental math! The bundle includes:

• Two number of the day activities
• Differentiated fun facts about Leap Day
• Mental math practice
• Leap Year Word problem practice

Leap Year Writing Activities

Finally, round out your Leap Year lesson plans with a Leap Year writing prompt and a Leap Year word-maker.
