The 67th day of school is a small holiday with a big joke behind it, and this packet turns it into a full celebration for grades 2–5. Every activity is built around the numbers 6, 7 and 67: the math answers come out 6, 7 or 67, the word work plays on sixes and sevens, and the writing prompts ask for exactly 67 words or a 67-dollar surprise. Two differentiated levels run through the packet, so the same joke lands for second graders and fifth graders.
Math work at Levels 1 and 2 covers prank word problems, a mystery picture color by number, '67 Many Ways,' 'Make It With 6 and 7,' a six-choice survey with tally and graph, and skills that run from addition and subtraction through multiplication, division, place value, coins, Roman numerals, prime numbers, rounding, number sense, data collection and graphing. A prank reveal page, 'What Do You Notice?', lets students discover for themselves that every answer is 6, 7 or 67.
Word work at both levels includes Sixes and Sevens word searches and crosswords, with facts about the numbers 6 and 7. Writing pages ask for 'A $67 Surprise' and 'Exactly 67 Words,' and list pages cover 'On the 67th Day of School' and 'Sixes and Sevens Lists.' A 'Find Someone Who' activity gets the whole class talking, and 12 movement cards give 6–7 brain breaks across the day.
The fun extras keep the celebration visible: a Happy 67th Day coloring page, a 67th Day crown and a Super 67th Day Star certificate. Complete answer keys are included. Teacher pages explain the prank and the joke, and a full-day plan and schedule support the day.
