FAQ
How do I use the Kindness Award Certificate?
⌄
Give it when you notice a child including someone new, helping a classmate or using kind words, and tell the class what the child did. It fits a kindness week, a character education unit or any ordinary day.
What is the Kindness Award Certificate?
⌄
A one-page Kindness Award with a hearts border. It reads This award is presented to, with a name line, the printed reason for being a kind and caring friend who makes everyone feel welcome, and Signed and Date lines.
Can I use the Kindness Award Certificate at home and in the classroom?
⌄
Yes. We made it for Preschool to 5th Grade certificates and awards, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.
What certificates and awards are included?
⌄
Thirty designs in five groups: end of year awards (including a class awards set of 8, Moving Up and Have a Great Summer), Student of the Week (a certificate, a rainbow award, Student of the Month, Star Student, a fill-in poster and brag tags), subject awards for reading, math, writing and science, behavior and kindness awards, and birthday and milestone certificates such as the 100th day and graduation.
Which grades are these certificates for?
⌄
They span Pre-K to 5th grade. Most designs work for every grade, a few are for Kindergarten to 5th or Kindergarten to 2nd, and each resource page names its own grade span. The graduation certificates are made for one grade each.
How do I fill in a certificate?
⌄
Each certificate has a long line for the child's name, a printed reason (or a short line where the reason varies, like the number of books read), and Signed and Date lines. Write the name by hand, add any detail, then sign and date it.
Will the certificates print well on a home printer?
⌄
Yes. They are mostly white with colored line borders and small pictures, with no large dark areas, so they print cleanly on a home or school printer and still read well in black and white. Card stock makes them sturdier for display.
Do the brag tags and the poster need any prep?
⌄
The brag tags print 10 to a page with dashed cut lines and a hole-punch circle on each tag: cut, punch and thread them on a ribbon or clip. The Student of the Week poster just needs to go home for the child to fill in and decorate.
