Looking for my animal awards? --> End of the Year Awards- Animal Character Trait Awards

This product now contains 70 awards based on different character traits. Each award has a different historical figure to represent each character trait. Each award is available in 2 color and 1 black line option.

Each award includes the famous person, the character trait that person embodies, a quote from the person, and a short bio of how that person embodies that specific trait.

What better way to show the positive qualities of your students than to reward them based on a specific character trait they possess?! You could also have students vote on each other on which character trait award they should win. The list of included people is below. The idea is to not award a male award to only the boys in your classroom, or to award a female award to only the girls in your classroom. You can award a male award to a girl, and a female award to a boy. The point is to award them to students based on the character traits they possess and exhibit.

You can print out one of the color options, or you can print the black line instead. If you use the black line version, you can print them out onto color copy paper. Or after you give them to your students, they can color their own award. I have provided three options for the awards, so you can choose which one you like best!

Each option has a print and digital version. The print version is a PDF if you want to handwrite the names and dates. The other is a Google Slide version with editable text boxes. You can choose your own font and size.

An award assignment chart is included so you can record your students to make sure there aren't duplicates, and there is a optional research page you can copy onto the back of the awards so your students can learn more about the people on their awards.
