A birthday card for every child in the class
Many teachers like every child to get a card on their birthday, including children with summer birthdays who celebrate in June or at the start of the year. Paste your class list once in September, print the whole set in color or in black and white, and keep the cards in a folder. On the day, the class can sign the card together and the birthday child takes it home.
-
Paste the names
One name per line: every child gets their own card, two cards to a sheet.
-
Write one message
Keep it short so there is room for the whole class to sign.
-
Print, cut and store
Cut along the dashed line and file the cards by month, ready for each birthday.
Celebrating big? Make a birthday magazine all about the birthday child, and paper blind bags as party favors.
