Dr. Seuss Activities & Fun Ideas!

Dr. Seuss week always seems to be a fun, BIG deal! I absolutely love it! There are so many educational Dr. Seuss activities you can tie into the classroom or home! Reading, writing, math, and more!

Dr. Seuss Activities for Upper Elementary

I’m probably biased, but my upper elementary students always loved getting in on the fun of Dr. Seuss week – BUT they didn’t want babyish activities. That’s why I created this Theodor Seuss Geisel Author Study. You’ll get a biography, writing projects, math activities, a FREE bookmark, and more! Add it to your cart below to grab a copy for your 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students today. Grab the download from TpT now. 
 

Dr. Seuss Dress Up Attire

Here are my Dr. Seuss socks! I LOVE THEM! I can’t find an online link to this particular pair, but check out this pair on Amazon!

Here is a link to various items on Amazon –
  • Dr. Seuss socks
  • Dr. Seuss earrings
  • Dr. Seuss hats (includes paper options you can order for the entire class!)

Dr. Seuss Dress Up Days

My last school district had the entire elementary get into the spirit. For Read Across America Week we had dress up days. Here are some of the days we had:

    • Hat Day
    • Dr. Suess’s birthday (We all wore Seuss hats like this one!)
    • Silly Sock Day (We all went out in the hall and read books – typically by Dr. Seuss – for 15 minutes to show off our socks!) This pair would be fun for that day! 
    • Dress like what you want to be when you grow up
    • Wacky Hair Day (wear your hair like the “who’s” or go as Thing 1 and Thing 2 with these wigs!)

Dr. Seuss Birthday Party – with cake & ice cream!

We also celebrated by having K-5 all get together for cupcakes and juice in the lunchroom for Dr. Seuss’s birthday (March 2nd). While there, the principal read her favorite Dr. Seuss book while the students listened and ate.

A Little Math Fun…

I always enjoy having the older students guess how old Dr. Seuss would be if he were still alive. (He was born March 2, 1904.) Then they were able to do some math to calculate it out. 

A Fun Variation of Pin the Tail on the Donkey

My Kinders loved playing “Pin the Eggs on the Plate”. The copy I printed off a few years back is no longer available online. But I know many of you creative teachers could come up with your own variations!

Green Eggs & Ham!

We had some amazing cooks that made green eggs and  ham on Friday of Read Across America Week. The kids loved them!

Green eggs and ham in the school cafeteria is a must!
 

Silly Game for Early Learners

My Kinders also enjoyed playing a Duck, Duck, Goose variation called Cat, Cat, Hat. I know some teachers that have played it with Doctor, Doctor, Seuss. It’s a lot of fun and gets those wiggles out on these crazy, silly days!

Even More Dr. Seuss Activities & Fun Ideas

And I’ve got to mention the upper elementary download I created one more time. Upper elementary kiddos love to celebrate the fun school holidays, but it can be tough to find things that work for them. This download will let you focus on math, reading, writing, AND more during Dr. Seuss’s birthday. Click here or on the image below to grab your copy!
 
Or get it from TpT here.
