SWAG Tags - For Kids with Swagger

I just can't get enough of these SWAG tags! Since I've moved to 3rd grade, I love them even more. When the kids earn a tag, I put their name on the back, and they put it on the chain. I guess a little maturity helps the fine motor skills! And, since I love using whole brain teaching, I just had to have some tags to go along with that! I even made some male teachers to my tags as well.  I love the ball chains I got too. Here are the ones I bought:






I store my tags in a divider box and use Post-It flags to divide them by topic. I also put them in ABC order so they are easy to find. (I put everything in ABC order!)
Before I hang a tag on a child's necklace, I put their name on it with fine-tipped Sharpies. 

I also put a bead in between the tags so people can admire the accomplishments of my little rock stars.  




I have a spot where the kids hang their swag tags. That way, they have a place to store them at the end of the day, or when they don't want to wear them. Some kids like to leave them hanging and just stop to look at them once in a while. Others, wear them for a while, then take them off for lunch, P.E., etc. It's interesting to watch!





My munchkins are absolutely loving these tags. They earn them for working their way up our 'Super Improver' Chart and for all sorts of other accomplishments as well. 
Just click to check out the freebie to check out the SWAG tags. If you like them, there are a bunch more to get rolling in your classroom! 







Or, you can buy the BUNDLE!


Thanks for stopping by!

    1. Hey Lauren, I use a box I found at hobby lobby I think. The kind that you use for embroidery yarn. The box won't close, but I just took the lid off. Hope that helps! Thanks so much! Hilary Lewis
