The Best Early Finisher Activities for a Smooth Classroom Routine

What to Do When You Hear, "Teacher, I’m Done!"

Do you ever cringe when you hear the words, “Teacher, I’m done!”?
Same here. Sometimes I jokingly reply, “Well, my mom didn’t name me Teacher!” Other times, it’s “That’s great, sweetie! Now, what do you do next?”

But guess what? I rarely hear that phrase anymore—and that’s all thanks to my Fast Finisher Bins.

Why Fast Finisher Bins Are a Game-Changer

Fast Finisher Bins are perfect for those students who finish their work in record time and are looking for something to do. Instead of wandering around or interrupting their classmates, they head straight to a bin and get to work—quietly and independently.

These bins are packed with hands-on, skill-building activities that reinforce classroom learning in a fun and meaningful way.

And the best part? My students actually look forward to finishing their work so they can grab their favorite bin before someone else does. It’s a win-win!

A Peek Inside the Bins

Here are a few examples of what’s included:

📦 Shape Up
Students match real-life objects to flat and solid shapes. It’s a great way to make geometry meaningful and connect learning to the world around them.

✏️ Number Formation
Students practice writing numbers the correct way—a foundational skill that all students benefit from practicing again and again.

Each bin is designed to be simple, independent, and fun—no extra prep needed after setup!
