Creative End Of The Year Student Awards

As we approach the end of the school year, it can be difficult to come up with creative ideas for end-of-the-year student awards.

We all know that academics, behavior, and attendance are essential, but what about those kids whose strengths lie elsewhere? Thinking of awards that fit their strengths can require a bit more creativity. That’s why I’m sharing some award ideas to consider adding to your list. 

End Of The Year Student Award Ideas That Go Beyond Academics

There are many ways to honor your students beyond academics, behavior, and attendance. Here are a few ideas for awards you might give out this year: 

– All-Star Athlete – This award is for students who excel in sports or athletic activities.

– Musical Marvel – Do you have a student who always knows the latest hits, sings, or excels at playing an instrument? This award recognizes your students who can jam!

– Joyful Joker – For some kids, their sense of humor is their strength. Do you have a student who is always making people laugh? Maybe they’re heading towards a career in entertainment or simply a lifetime of bringing joy to the people around them.

– Noteworthy Neatness – Whether your student is always poised and polished, keeps their desk remarkably tidy, or their handwriting is impeccable, this award is for the student with impeccable presentation.

– Sensational Sharer – Is there a student in your class who is always willing to help out a classmate? Maybe you noticed them sharing their snack or giving their classmate a pencil and paper. Compassion is a strength, and kindness is worth recognizing.

Still Looking For More Unique Award Ideas?

– Inquisitive Inspiration – Why? How come? What if? Curiosity inspires exploration, learning, and discovery. Inquisitiveness can be a strength. This award is for students who always have questions and encourage others to think.

– Innovative Inventor – Can you think of a student who always suggests how something could be done better? Maybe they excel in STEM, or perhaps they’re able to think outside of the box to solve problems. Consider which kid always has a fresh idea.

– Technology Titan – Who is the first to figure out how to do something on the computer, iPad, or tablet? Maybe they fixed a computer issue or suggested a website to try. This award is for the student who is a whiz with computers and tech.

– Noteworthy News Reporter – Do you have a student who always knows what’s happening at school, in the community, or in the world? This is for the student who loves to keep everyone informed.

Want to save time planning your end-of-the-year student awards?

Every child deserves to see their strengths, and every child has strengths. But let’s be honest. It can be hard to think of award ideas to include every child, and creating unique end-of-the-year student awards for each child can be time-consuming.

Pre-made awards make the process so much easier. Pick from 99 different awards, type in the names and dates, and print the certificates.
