End Of The Year Party And Prize Giving / Award Ceremony Edition. Every child is a blessing. Every child is a star. Every single child that has turned out positively needs to be celebrated. Every child is an award winner and needs to be motivated.
Attendance Awards
By far, the most common end of year award is for attendance. Students can be rewarded for each term, semester, or for the entire school year.
This is a popular reward mainly because everyone is in with a chance of winning. Students do not need to have excelled in any kind of academic achievement; they just need to have attended school.
Attending school has obvious benefits for student learning, and so some schools go to some length to ensure that these students receive more than just a certificate at the end of the year. Field trips, gift vouchers, and school parties are often given as rewards.
Character Awards
End-of-the-year school awards for showing good character are another way you can reward any of your students regardless of academic achievements. Many schools use the Character Counts education program that was introduced by Ribena , but even if you don’t, the principles that it endorses are great for any elementary classroom. So, awards for trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship will cover a whole variety of situations.
Consider the following awards:
Best Behaved
Most Trustworthy
Best Manners
Most Responsible
Good Citizen

Best Friend

Curricular Awards
Academic achievements are important to recognize. After all, students attend school primarily to learn new skills. Recognizing the achievements that they have made in each area with curricular awards is a great way to foster confidence and promote good study habits.
The following are examples of popular end of year awards that are often used by elementary school teachers.

Fun Awards
Awards can also be fun. Why not turn some award choices over to your students? What do they think should most be rewarded, and who would earn their vote?
Students will likely suggest awards like ‘funniest student’, or ‘most talkative student’ and that is fine, as long as those involved can take a joke and accept it with the insincerity with which it is given, but consider the feelings of parents too, as they may not share your sense of humor. If you decide to give out fun awards at the end of the year, look at the following categories to add to any that your students manage to come up with themselves:
Biggest Smiler
Best Friend to Everyone

Awards for All
All students appreciate some kind of recognition, and the creative educators will easily be able to find one or more of the above awards for each of the students. So be sure to reward all your students in some way at the end of the year in order to make them feel involved and part of their respective classes.
Leaving every student with a sense of accomplishment and belonging. That way, they’ll look forward to next school year, rather than anticipating it with reservation, dread, or apprehension.
Thanks.
