End of the Year Student Gifts!

If you’re looking for fun and meaningful end of the year gifts for your students, I’ve got you covered! I love giving out meaningful end of the year student gifts to my class each year as they head out for summer. I’ve done different things over the years, but here are a few of my favorite end of the year student gifts!

Sunglass Tags

These sunglass tags make a perfect student gift! I just add them to a pair of sunglasses (you can buy them in bulk on Amazon… here’s one of my favorite sets)! You can attach them to the sunglasses by tying with ribbon, or just set the sunglasses on their desks with the tag right next to them!

Student Sticker Cards

Are your students obsessed with water bottle stickers like mine are? If so, this is another easy end of the year student gift! Just print the sticker cards out, cut them, and tape on a sticker or two! You can get the Sticker Cards here! And you can check out some of my favorite student stickers in my Amazon storefront here!

Survival Kit for Life

This Survival Kit for Life is another meaningful end of the year gift for students that I have loved giving out! Each student gets a bag (or water bottle) filled with small items and a printable stating what each item represents/advice for them to remember! I read this out loud to my students whenever I give this gift and I can tell you that every year I cry reading it! You can get the “Survival Kit for Life” tags HERE! This is a perfect gift that you can can put in water bottles, small beach buckets, or cellophane bags!

Positive Affirmation Bookmarks

You know I love my Positive Affirmation Door Banner, but did you know that it also comes with bookmarks?! The students in one of my previous classes loved saying the affirmations each day so much that I created bookmarks to hand out to them on the last day so that they could take a copy of the affirmations with them!

Writing Portfolio

This one is more for the parents, but at the end of the year I like to put all of my students’ writing from throughout the year in a nice writing portfolio for each of them to take home as a keepsake! I keep their writing hanging up on our writing wall all year, so the writing portfolios are super easy to make! I just print a cover and have my students fill out an “About the Author” page!

Class Picture/Memory Book

I love having my students make memory books at the end of the year! It’s a great chance to reflect on our year together and I love having them share their favorite memories as a class! For an added bonus, it’s always fun to print off a class picture or pictures from throughout the year for students to glue into their memory books!

Books

Books are always a great student gift! Sometimes I will go through our classroom library and clear out older books to make space for new ones. When I do this I will display the books on a table and let each student choose a book to take home to keep! Scholastic also has great prices on books throughout the year (like their $1 book deals)! If you’re thinking of giving your students books, that is a great place to get them!
