Hi all! As I have been working on creating more beach themed items for the Beach Theme Category at the store, I realized that many of the items within the clip art were actual items I could go to my local Walmart and buy. Well, of course that got me to thinking as to how I would use some of the items for learning purposes (kind of the point, right?).
Well, I ended up with 20 activities in all – and all using items such as beach balls, sand pails, shells, and hula hoops! I created a Beach Theme Activities Pack with all the ideas so you could use them in your beach themed classroom (or during a beach unit) even if it was 10 below and you were buried under a foot of snow!
Here are the 20 activity titles in case you are interested:
- Vocabulary Ball
- Spelling Relay
- Synonym Roll
- Musical Ball Pass
- Pattern Toss
- Shell Match
- Hula Categorizing
- Reward Bucket
- Shell Science
- Shell Letters
- Sand Writing
- Sand Spelling
- “Pail” Filling
- 3-D Sand Creations
- Main Idea Pails
- Goldfish Graphing
- Sorting Fish
- Fishing with Math
- Pattern Fish
- Estimating Fish Fun
Of course, I want to share something with everyone, so I took 3 of the fun ideas and made a little sampler freebie for you to enjoy as well!
I hope you have as much fun doing the activities as I did coming up with them!
Have a great rest of the weekend!

I am a native Californian now living in Utah, so last year I brought a tropical luau beach theme to my room. Now I feel at home. I love everything you share, Charity, and I am so excited to see all of this!
How adorable! Love the luau idea!
