Birthday Celebrations in the Classroom

I love throwing Birthday Celebrations in my classroom! It doesn't take a lot to make your students feel special and goes a long way in growing relationships with your students!

Here are a few ways to celebrate classroom birthdays with your students:

On each child's birthday I force ask them to wear this crazy birthday hat that I had picked up on one of our family vacations at Disneyland.  We then take their picture and sing to them. 

 I also give them a Smencil attached to a birthday balloon template that I got here from What the Teacher Wants.



 

1. Happy Birthday Wristbands

My students always love wearing bracelets and wristbands, so these birthday wristbands are a great gift that will let everyone know it is their birthday!

2. Birthday Pencils

If you are worried about your students having reactions to the  scented pencils, you could get these Happy Birthday pencils instead.

3. Birthday Crowns

These birthday crowns will help your student feel like royalty on their birthday!  They can wear them the whole day and then take them home to carry-on the celebration!

4. Birthday Color By Number Worksheets

I love using Birthday Color By Number Math Fact Activities during days when my students have birthdays to make them feel special while also having ALL of my students practice their math facts! I have them available for multiplication and addition.

There are 8 different sheets included, so you can use one at a time and re-use them throughout the year so your students don't get bored.

5. Homework Passes

You don't have to spend a lot of money to provide gifts to your students.  Consider printing out no homework passes for your students to receive on their birthday.

6. Decorated Desks

Celebrate your students' birthdays by decorating their desk with streamers, balloons, or butcher paper.
