Birthday Chart
Blank class-birthday display.
The Birthday Chart is a blank, colorful display template designed to help teachers celebrate every student's special day throughout the school year. Organized by month, the chart gives each classroom a dedicated spot to record names and birthdays so no one is overlooked — from August through the summer holidays. Teachers fill in student names during the first week of school, then mount the completed chart on a bulletin board or classroom door. At a glance, everyone can see upcoming birthdays, making it easy to prepare a small acknowledgment, a class song, or a birthday sticker. Parents volunteering in the classroom also appreciate knowing whose birthday falls during their visit week.

Frequently asked questions
What if two students share a birthday month?
Each month section has multiple name lines so several students can be listed under the same month without crowding.
Can summer birthday students still be included?
Yes. Many teachers celebrate summer birthdays during the last week of school or assign a 'half birthday' in the spring term — simply note that beside the student's name.
What size paper works best for a wall display?
A3 or tabloid (11×17 in) gives clear readability from across the room. Standard letter works too if you display the chart at eye level.
Can students decorate their own name entry?
Absolutely. Having each student illustrate a small birthday cake or write their name in their favorite color turns filling in the chart into a community art activity.
