What to do for Dr. Seuss Day?

If you are looking for ideas on what fun things are perfect for Dr. Seuss Day, here are my recommendations followed by the list of activities with easy-to-follow instructions (and great pictures!) that will make this day extra special for your kindergartener!

No Dr. Seuss Day celebration would be complete without reading one of his classic stories with your kindergartner! Choose a favorite title and sit down for a cozy story time together, or if you’re up for it, have everyone in class take turns with different books throughout the day.

Not only will this help familiarize your students with the unique writing style of Dr. Seuss, but it will also give them an appreciation for literature and storytelling as well!

Arts & Crafts

Unleash your kindergartners’ creativity with some fun arts and crafts inspired by the works of Dr. Seuss! You could make Cat in the Hat masks using paper plates, paint a popsicle sticks Lorax with handprint mustaches, or even create a handprint art inspired by One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish!

Your child will enjoy this Dr. Seuss I Spy Activity to enjoy Dr. Seuss day.

Games & Activities

There are lots of great activities you can do to bring to life some iconic moments from beloved Dr. Seuss titles like The Cat in The Hat or One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish.

For example, you could set up an obstacle course similar to what Thing One and Thing Two did during their mischievous visit to Sally’s house in The Cat in The Hat, or organize a fun game of hide-and-seek based on what Sam-I-Am does with Green Eggs and Ham!

Get creative with these games; not only will they keep your kids entertained but they’ll also help them develop fundamental motor skills as well as problem solving abilities (all while having fun!).

Dr. Seuss Day is such a wonderful way to celebrate the life and works of an incredibly talented author while teaching your kindergarteners valuable lessons along the way!
