Make a Time Capsule<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UkkGAtRMmJs\">time capsule<\/a> is a great way to preserve memories from the school year. Have your child collect special items throughout the year, such as photos, drawings, ticket stubs, and newspaper clippings. Then, have them put everything in a container and seal it up. This can be a fun project to do near the end of the school year, and then you can open it up together in future years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\"><strong><em>Related Reading: <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/blog\/end-of-school-year-activities-for-kids\/\"><em>Best End of School Year Activities for Kids of All Grade<\/em><\/a><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"14-7-setting-up-a-goal-board-\"><strong>7.
