Brag Tags for Big Kids

September 1, 2014 By fancyfreein4th



This summer I was reflecting on my teaching practices and I set some professional goals.  One of them was to highlight the little things that my students do well on.  It is so easy to get wrapped up in everything that occurs in a school day, that I want to make sure to positively reinforce my kiddos frequently. So, I searched Pinterest and I found a lot of amazing Brag Tags on there. Many seemed geared towards the primary grades so I decided to make my own Brag Tags but for Big Kids!!!

If you don’t know what Brag Tags are…

Brag Tags are like little, Dog Tag shaped trophies that celebrate student accomplishments! 

They positively reinforce students in a tangible and powerful way. Brag Tags will spice up your classroom behavior management system by motivating your students to work hard towards their behavior and academic goals. They are so simple to incorporate into any behavior management system. I found 100 ball necklaces on Amazon Prime for $25.

Each student will get a necklace with a tag on it that has their name.  They can wear the necklace at school or leave it on our Brag Tag Bulletin Board.

As they meet their academic and behavior goals or milestones they will earn tags to add to their necklace. I just know that my students will love collecting them all year long because kids love affirmation, positive attention and encouragement. 

Brag Tags Included in this Set:

These are specific to my classroom, so if there is a Brag Tag that you’d like to me make for you, I can customize tags for you!

Simply print, laminate and cut… 

My son, Eli helped me by taking a few of the Brag Tags hostage.

                        
I am excited to try this out with my new set of kiddos that I will meet TOMORROW!!!! AHH!  

As a Back to School treat, these are on sale now for the 1st week of school at my TpT store….

AND one lucky winner will get this pack for free.  You have to be a follower of my Instagram account (Fancyfreein4th) to get this because I posted a video this weekend showing off my new room.  So check out my Instagram, and leave the answer here along with your email and I will send these Brag Tags for Big Kids your way!

    I love the idea of using brag tags and hope to use them in my classroom after winter break. I have a question though, what program did you use to create them?

There’s so much advice I would tell first year- There’s so much advice I would tell first year- teacher-me…. Especially after the last (almost) 2 years of teaching; barely afloat. This year is so hard. I have to stop regularly and tell my student teacher, “it’s never been like this”. But to my core, it’s always been- children first, relationships first, or nothing else matters. Though this year is tough in new ways, there’s still much hope and laughter each day. Thanks @eveleon26 for reminding me of my first, wonderful year of teaching- so I can bring that energy, excitement each day- no matter the circumstance. For all of my teacher friends out there, I see you- I know it’s hard- and I’m grateful for you. (P.S-it’s almost winter break, you got this!) #tiredteacher #cleareyesfullheartscantlose
