Friday Theme Ideas and Hashtags
Designating a daily theme is a great way to add a little fun to your regular school day. These Friday theme ideas or Friday hashtags can be the focus of an entire day or a way to label a brief segment of the day. Whether you’re in a classroom setting or homeschooling your own kids, themes or hashtags use catchy alliteration or rhyming to amp up the fun factor.
Here’s a big list of fun Friday themes, along with a few suggestions of ways you can use them to increase engagement and learning opportunities for your students.
General Ways to Use Theme Days
Weekly Activities
Some of the daily themes listed below work well with weekly use. These can provide opportunity for regular practice or short activities. Examples of Friday theme ideas that could be used every week:
Friday Funny: share a weekly joke, cartoon, or meme on Fridays
Fact Attack Friday: share a piece of trivia each Friday
You get the idea. These themes don’t take up a significant amount of time and can be added into your schedule to share tidbits of information in a fun way.
Monthly Activities
Many of the themes listed might not be practical for weekly usage. Depending on your schedule and students’ interest, you may not want to have a Fiction Friday or Photography Friday theme every week, but a monthly activity around this theme could be added to your schedule.
Occasional Activities
Some of the themes work very well to use more occasionally. This could be a quarterly or sporadic use of Finance Friday as a way to cover important economics topics, or a collection of themed days to create a week of unique learning outside the regular curriculum.
Newsletter Headings
If you have a student interested in creating a family or class newsletter, these themes could be great column headings for a newsletter project.
