Candy Awards

Last year I created candy awards for my class and gave them out in our room just us!
If you want to see the red carpet fun we had on the last day check it out HERE
The love was FLOWING and they were SO excited with their awards!

    6. We award ceremonies the last week of school by each grade level. Every child must get at least 2 awards. Sometimes that is very hard to give every single child at least 2. The awards are as follows: reading, writing, social studies, science, math, Fast on Facts award, homework star, sight word star, perfect attendance, A honor roll and AB honor roll, citizenship and most improved.
      My first year I did my own awards on the last day of school and the kids had fun with it. Thanks for reminding me to do something more personal with my kids! I love your candy awards.

    9. These are adorable! I wish I had a teacher like you when I was growing up. My 1st grade teacher was a nun named Sister Mary Andrew and I assure you she did NOT give out candy awards! I can't wait 'til you get to school tomorrow because there's a surprise waiting for you in your classroom! 🙂

    10. Love this!!!! We have an award ceremony and we can only give out A Honor Roll all year, A-B Honor Roll all year, Perfect Attendance and Most Improved. The awards in your post will be great..it will insure all of my students get something. Thanks for sharing this wonderful idea! It's going in my shopping cart.

    13. OK, I said I wasn't going to buy anything else from TPT until school was out and now 2 days in a row, you're making me spend my money! ;P We have a big awards program at the end of the year, but my kids will love these just for some end of the year fun! Thanks!

      I'd love for you be one of my followers, I'm just getting started.

    21. This is awesome! We do four award ceremonies throughout the year….and those naughty ones just can't redeem themselves until the end….but every kid has to get one….I am going to have to get creative! I love these….so much more personal…going in my cart!

    32. We did these in my high school yearbook staff class. We called them the M&Mies (like the Emmy's), so these could work for high school students, as well. What student doesn't love candy? I will definitely use these in my classroom next year!

    34. I love this idea. I am going to adapt your awards a little bit though and use them at our Blue and Gold Banquet for my former cub scouts. Until a week ago I was the Cub Scout Master and think these will be a creative way to make sure each boy gets a special award that night. Thanks for sharing.

    38. Well Reagan Tunstall – you are a star and a genius. I purchased your Candy awards to give to my students on their last day of school and they were………DROOLING!!! I am not exaggerating when I say a great cheer came from the crowd when the Fun Dip award was presented. They were literally almost levitating off the floor as each award was announced. I have never seen this much excitement. Thank you for making a wonderful resource and for sharing it with me! My kiddies even walked the red carpet/mat my assistant rescued from the Activity room next door. I quickly created a slide on my SmartBoard that read, "Happy Graduation Grade 1 – Have fun in Grade 2!" to put up at the end of the red carpet. My aid snapped a few pictures! Check them out at my blog:

    39. I have been searching for creative ideas for high school students. Everything for them is so boring, and my goal for this year is to incorporate fun and creativity into my classroom. Thank you for sharing.

    44. Those are very cute elementary school awards. I just think students hear good job or physically get handed something that lets them know they are recognized for something really helps a child's self esteem and they strive to keep trying and doing their best. I'll have to try these ideas.

    45. Is there a downloadable version here somewhere? I can't seem to find it. I'm a room parent and my teacher would love to use these candy awards.

    51. OH MY GOODNESS. THESE ARE THE BEST EVER!!!! I was thinking of doing candy bar awards this year, but wasn't sure I was going to be able to find anything pre-made that I liked. I don't just like these, I LOVE them. Thanks so much for sharing them for free. I am totally going to use them!

    53. I lov these, but your links aren't taking me anywhere…How can I purchase these? Can't find them on TpT…

    55. Giving out candy is a poor poor choice for rewarding children. Do you value their health? What about teaching children the joy of learning for the sake of learning and finding pride in their knowledge as reward. What about children developing diabetes, obesity, cavities or allergies to corn syrup. Perhaps educating yourself on nutrition would be helpful. Sorry, your kids may love you but you are not doing them a service. I hope you take time to reflect and do some research on this issue.
