Easy Ways to Celebrate Birthdays in Your Classroom

Celebrating your students’ birthdays in the classroom doesn’t have to be an onerous task! In fact, the simplest ideas will often make a big impact on your students. Here are some small gestures that pack a big punch when it comes to celebrating students’ birthdays in your classroom:

• Birthday Song – Start the day by singing a cheerful birthday song to the student. It’s a simple yet joyful way to kick off their day of celebration.
• Special Seat – Let the birthday student sit in a special chair or wear a birthday crown for the day. This small gesture makes them feel extra special.
• Choose an Activity – Allow the birthday student to choose an activity for the whole class to participate in. This could be anything from playing their favourite learning game to reading their favourite story.
• Birthday Treats – If your school allows it, let the birthday student bring in a treat to share with the class. Alternatively, you could provide a small, non-food treat like stickers or a special pencil.
