Name Tags

Here's a simple idea for name tags. It's easy to make some in the beginning of the year, laminate them and stick them on their desks. This is no fun for my sixth graders so I jazz them up a bit. Aside from making cute name tags, the kids appreciate the time I take to personalize them.

Every opportunity I get I change their name tags. It's nice because it reminds me it's time to move their seats around and I also have an opportunity to make new ones for new students. I use scrapbook paper, print their names with cool fonts and laminate them. My 6th grade students LOVE it! They always ask what I'm planning for the next holiday or when I get behind they never fail to remind me that it's time for new name tags. I'm on Spring Break so I'll have to come back and post some pictures later.

• March: St. Patrick
• April: Personal Quotes: Our state test is in April so I will be printing name tags with inspirational quotes.
• May: Back to Summer theme. This year I chose to do peace signs.
