Games for Twos Day

If you’re having a fun, themed day, it won’t be complete without some games! Try some of these for an educational good time!

17. Find Your Pair: Make (or print) cards with pairs of things. One item on each card. Some examples: salt & pepper, milk & cookies, characters like Mickey & Minnie, Peanut Butter & Jelly, etc. Mix up and then hand out one card to each student. Set a timer and see if the students can find their matching pair card! Make it even more fun by having them find their pair without talking!

18. 2’s Scavenger Hunt: Create a scavenger hunt paper where students have to find two of each item around the classroom. Such as two pencils, two things of the same color, two pairs of scissors, etc.

19. My Double: Have students find someone in the room with something in common. I.E. Sharing the same favorite movie. They each have 2 younger brothers. Maybe someone has the same favorite color. It will be a fun way for them to learn more about other classmates while finding their “double”!

Twos Day Snacks

Quite possibly the best parts of any celebration are the food and snacks! You really can make anything fit the theme, especially if there are two of them! Sandwiches, pieces of candy, vegetables, fruit, etc. Here are a few fun ones though, to round out our 22 tips for twos day!

20. Taco “Twosday”: It’s the perfect snack for Tuesday, 2/22/22! You can have a potluck where each student brings an ingredient to make tacos! You could also make candy tacos by forming sugar cookies into a taco shell and having students fill their “taco” with various candies.

21. Oreos: Oreos are fun for twos day because you have two cookies in one delicious cookie sandwich! Plus, you have to eat at least two, right?

22. Popsicles: Popsicles immediately come to mind when thinking of things in doubles, especially the popsicles with the double sticks that break in half. This would be a great way to finish up the day!
