These middle school Labor Day activities are perfect for back to school or community helpers and jobs lessons and activities. They can also be assigned as extension or early-finisher activities, or given out as take-home or return-to-school independent practice.

This packet includes a choice board of 9 Labor Day activities and all of the complementary worksheets needed to complete them.

Students can choose from activities like:

Labor Day Acrostic Poem

Explain These Quotes

It’s been said that “Without labor, nothing prospers,” and “Work is a privilege, rest is a gift.” In your own words, write what each quote means to you in your writing journal.
