Brag Tags: Free Printable Templates for Teachers

Brag tags are small, collectible tags children earn and wear or keep on a ring. They turn good choices into a quiet, ongoing celebration — and children genuinely chase them.

How to use brag tags

1. Decide your categories. Effort, kindness, resilience, reading milestones.
2. Hand them out in the moment so the link to the behaviour is clear.
3. Give children a place to keep them — a ring, a lanyard, or a display.
4. Celebrate milestones ("ten tags!") to keep momentum.
5. Keep some rare so the special ones stay special.

How to use the free template

Print the sheet, cut out the tags, and write or stamp the achievement. Punch a hole at the top so children can collect them on a ring. Blank tags let you reward exactly what your class needs this term.

Quick tips

• Laminate for durability.
• Let children nominate each other for a kindness tag.
