How to use these Student Bookmarks as Gifts:
These motivational bookmarks are perfect for upper middle school students and high school students alike! Whether you’re looking for an inexpensive yet meaningful student gift or a motivational tool to inspire students, these Student Bookmarks provide a simple and effective way to encourage positivity and personal growth. Bookmarks serve as a practical tool for avid readers, ensuring they never lose their place in a book, while also acting as a daily reminder of encouragement and resilience. These Student Bookmarks are not just for classroom use—they make great rewards, incentives, or surprise gifts to celebrate students’ hard work throughout the school year.
There are 7 bookmarks in total, each one featuring a unique motivational quote from noteworthy authors, celebrities, and public figures. These carefully selected quotes are designed to inspire students, whether they need a confidence boost, encouragement to persevere, or a reminder of their potential. Each bookmark also showcases a different design, making them visually appealing and offering a variety of styles to suit different tastes. You may wish to offer students the option to select their own bookmark, allowing them to choose a quote that resonates with them the most. This student-centered approach makes the bookmarks more meaningful and personal, turning them into a keepsake rather than just a simple classroom item. These Student Bookmarks make a fantastic addition to end-of-the-year gifts, literacy initiatives, or reading programs, helping students associate positive messages with their academic journey.
Alternatively, you can provide all 7 bookmarks to each student and encourage them to distribute them around the school as gifts for their friends! This activity promotes peer encouragement and reinforces the power of positive messages in a school community. By sharing Student Bookmarks, students can spread motivation, kindness, and inspiration among their classmates, making it a thoughtful and meaningful way to celebrate the end of the year. These bookmarks can also be used in classroom activities, such as motivational discussions, reflective writing prompts, or goal-setting exercises, encouraging students to engage with the quotes on a deeper level. If you run a classroom library, these bookmarks can be a great addition to encourage independent reading and literary engagement.
Student gifts don’t need to be expensive. One of the best things about this student gift idea is that it only requires printing, laminating, and cutting, making it a low-cost but high-impact gift. Unlike traditional classroom rewards that may be forgotten or discarded, these Student Bookmarks are durable and practical, ensuring that students can use them long after they receive them. They also serve as a sentimental reminder of their learning journey, making them perfect for end-of-the-year celebrations, teacher appreciation gifts to students, or even as part of a literacy initiative. Because they are so easy to make, you can prepare them quickly and efficiently, whether you’re making them for a small group of students or an entire grade level.
☞ Printing & Laminating Instructions for these Motivational Bookmarks:
Please note that printing will vary based on your individual printer settings. To ensure the best quality results, you may wish to print a test page before printing bookmarks for your entire class roster. Doing so allows you to check for any formatting issues, such as sizing, alignment, or color inconsistencies, before printing multiple copies.
- Make sure your printing settings are not set to print on both sides to avoid double-sided errors.
- If your bookmarks print with lines, discoloration, or other quality issues, try troubleshooting based on your printer model:
- Dell troubleshooting guide
- HP Inkjet troubleshooting guide
- Epson troubleshooting guide
To ensure that your end-of-the-year gifts are made to last, be sure to laminate these bookmarks. Lamination protects the bookmarks from wear and tear, making them more durable so that students can use them for years to come. For the best results, I find that it’s most effective to cut the bookmarks out first, then space them out in a laminating sheet, and finally, use a paper cutter to achieve clean, straight edges. This method ensures a professional-looking final product while reducing the risk of uneven cuts or misaligned lamination. Be sure to handle the edges carefully after cutting, as sharp corners can be smoothed down to prevent any potential discomfort.
These Student Bookmarks with end-of-the-year quotes are suitable for both color and grayscale printers. Whether you have access to a high-quality color printer or need to print in black and white, these bookmarks are designed to look great in any format. The resource includes 5 vibrant color templates for those who prefer eye-catching designs, as well as 2 grayscale templates for a more minimalist look or to accommodate limited printing resources. This flexibility ensures that every classroom can use these bookmarks effectively, regardless of printing capabilities.
