FAQs

How do you make a 100 day celebration? ›

Some classes celebrate with 100-themed parties, craft projects that involve the number 100, collections of 100 objects, dress-up days where kids are asked to wear a costume that makes them look 100 years old or drawing and writing assignments that prompt them to imagine what the world will be like when they're 100.

This marks a point in the year where students are more than half-way through the 180 day school year. It is a time to reflect on all the learning that has taken place so far. The celebration began by a California teacher in 1979 who was trying to help her students understand the concrete lesson of the number 100.

100th Day of School Activity: Morning Meeting

Also, you can have students pass a greeting around the circle and say, “Happy 100th Day, (name)!” To make it even more fun, create a handshake like touching 1 finger, and then make a zero with your hand and bump hands twice, to make 100!

Close friends should give an amount equivalent to a wedding gift; casual friends should cover the cost of their attendance. For a couple, this will likely be an amount between $60 and $200 (and potentially higher for really close friends), subject to your discretion.

CELEBRATION FOODS

During the celebration, foods such as bowls of rice, seaweed soup (miyeok-guk 미역국), and water alongside rice cakes would be put on a table. The rice cakes, in lovely rainbow layers, and fruits are stacked. There are a few assortments of rice cakes to prepare for such an important celebration.

Blessings and Good Wishes:

Gifting on the 100th day is a way to convey blessings and good wishes to the baby and their family. Traditional gifts often include red envelopes (Hongbao) containing money or thoughtful gifts such as gold jewellery, which symbolise prosperity, luck, and protection for the little one.

Traditionally, the baby will wear a Longevity Lock on the neck and wear something red for this special occasion. Some also wear special hats, bracelets, and anklets. However, in modern days, many parents choose not to go with traditional looks. 100 Days portraits have been widely westernized in styles.

Greet the attendees and open the meeting

In English, use the more formal “Good morning” or “Good afternoon” rather than “hello” and remember to thank all the attendees for coming. Then, if you're leading the meeting, you'll need to announce that the meeting is starting.

If you want to say good morning to many people when all people are in front of you then you can say “Good morning all” or “Good morning ladies and gentlemen” or “Good morning guys”. NOTE: Its not important/compulsory to wish “Good morning/Good after Noon/Good Evening” in social media to all.

What are the rules for the 100 day challenge? ›

The challenge uses social accountability, transparency, and deep reflection to form healthy developer habits. The challenge follows one simple rule: Code for a minimum of one hour each day for the next 100 days.

At traditional Chinese 100 days celebrations (百日宴), prayers and food will be offered to the ancestors together with the burning of incense to wish the baby good health and protection them from bad spirits. Some families will shave the baby's head, while some have already replaced the ritual with snipping a hair lock.
