How do you celebrate birthdays in the classroom? I like to incorporate birthday “celebrations” with lessons so it isn’t as disruptive to our schedule. Less interruptions means less behavior problems, which is a win-win.
You can incorporate birthdays with your journal writing time. Anytime it is a special day, pull out this handy-dandy FREE “Birthday Star Class Book” lesson. The Birthday Star will decorate the cover while each student in the class will write a page to add to the book. This is a wonderful gift that the Birthday Star will treasure!
Another way to make the day special for the birthday boy or girl is to slip a birthday chair cover on his or her chair before he or she arrives in the morning. You can get a set of these chair covers here.
Do you have a collection of birthday, cake, or gift themed books? Gather them in a bag or tub. Let your birthday star read them if he or she finishes the book cover early.
