The Top 10 Creative Ideas for Your End of Year Awards
We know that every child deserves their own award in one way or another. If you're looking to celebrate the truly unique and reward students , then these 10 awards are perfect for your classroom award ceremony.
Creative King/Queen
According to a great diagram produced by the education sector of the Scottish government, creativity is one of the most important skills employers look out for. Not only is it hugely rewarding on a personal level, but fostering creativity can help with problem-solving, a skill cited as the top skill required by employers.
Most Improved
You've read the story of the tortoise and the hare, right? The people who start out at the back don't always finish last. Take a moment to recognize a child who has made great progress throughout the year with the Most Improved award.
Computer Genius
According to US news outlet, the most desirable job to have is a Software Developer. So why not encourage and reward the aspiring computer genius early and set them on the path to a truly great career?
Best Smile
A great smile can turn someone's day around. Take a moment to praise the child who always has a smile ready, whether it's for you, their friends or even their favourite dinner lady.
True-Blue Friend
Rewarding loyalty is something that should always be encouraged. But perhaps you've seen one or two examples of a child being unwaveringly faithful to a friend in need. Put that child on a pedestal because everybody needs a best friend.
Most Polite/Considerate
This child is always ready with a please or a thank you, no matter how their day is going. Do you notice someone who holds the door for other students, or helps someone clean up a spillage? Then this award is for them.
Friend to the Environment
Whether something they've done in school or outside of school, take the time to reward the child who is doing their bit to give back. It has never been more important to act for the environment and rewarding these behaviours early could make all the difference as we fight to save our planet.
Classroom Comedian
There's a fine line between behaviour we want to reward and behaviour we want to condemn. The award for Classroom Comedian praises a child for always being on the right side of that line. They can make their friends (and even you) laugh, but always at times when it's appropriate.
Clean Queen/King
Reward the child who never leaves a mess behind them, and always tidies up after themselves (and others). It can be something as small as always tidying their lunch tray away, or actively picking up litter. Either way, it's worthy of praise.
Most Trustworthy
Does your classroom have that one child who can always be counted on to perform a task? Do you know that even when your back is turned they are working diligently? If you have a child like this then this award is for them.
Everyone's a Winner
Promoting positive behaviour in our kids leads to adults who value that behaviour in themselves and others. We're sure you've got a whole classroom full of kids deserving of these end of year awards. Now all you need to decide is what to write on their trophy.
