Certificate & Award Maker

Celebrate your students with a certificate for each child: pick an award, type the names, and print on regular paper or card stock. Ready for your signature.

One name per line. Each name gets its own certificate.

How to make student certificates

  1. Type or paste the names, one per line.
  2. Choose an award. The title and reason fill in by themselves, and you can change both.
  3. Add your name and the date, pick the colors, and click Print.

When to give awards

  • Every week: a Star Student or Super Helper certificate keeps good habits visible.
  • End of the year: one award for every child, each for something different.
  • Milestones: reading goals, math facts, perfect attendance, completing a unit.

If the page prints small, set the printer to Landscape and scale to Fit to page.
