Birthday classroom ideas

Birthdays aren't quite the same at our age as they are for kids. Every birthday is special when you're growing up. So make it super special for your students with one of these awesome birthday boards in the classroom. Enjoy!

Making an exciting and creative birthday display in your classroom doesn’t need to take hours. In fact, often a classroom birthday wall looks best if your students help you to make it! We know that at the beginning of the school year teachers spend a lot of time preparing their classroom. And, while we here at Teach Starter are not writing these kinds of posts to increase any Pinterest-perfection inspired angst, we know that you guys love to get your hands on easy and exciting birthday wall ideas! So we’ve done the work for you, creating some amazing birthday display resources to save you time and make your students’ first day in their new classroom totally buzz!

Five Awesome Birthday Display Ideas                                 

Here are five super fun (and easy!) classroom birthday display ideas that each come with their own downloadable, printable birthday display resources!

If birthday displays are a little too time-consuming for you, then scroll to the bottom of this post to see some awesome, ready-to-print birthday charts.

This “Under the Sea” themed birthday wall idea is super fun! A twist on the Sea Jelly Classroom Display, each month is displayed on the body of a sea jelly and you can attach each of your class family’s birthdays as a tentacle hanging below.

Aqua coloured wrapping paper

Sea Jelly Birthday Display Template (which includes sea jellies, rainbow Happy Birthday bunting, and sea animal cut out decorations)

1. White and dark blue crepe paper streamers
2. A ball of fancy wool
3. Coloured cardboard to create the coral
4. Yellow and green party decorations.

Laminate the bunting flags, the sea jelly ‘month’ bodies and the sea animal cut out decorations before you stick them on your birthday board.Attach the birthday tentacles using sticky tape (which can then be removed at the end of the year).When you take down your display the main templates can be reused for the next year (or passed on to another teacher who loved this birthday board idea!)

Printing Tips

The printable Sea Jelly Birthday Display template includes bunting flags that are sizes one per A4 page. Depending on the size of your board you will need to print the bunting at a different size. To create this portrait-orientated “Under the Sea” birthday display we printed the bunting flags 6 pages per A4 page. To create a landscape-orientated display you may like to try printing the bunting flags 2-4 pages per A4 page.

Cacti & Sombrero Birthday Board

Is this not one of the coolest birthday board ideas you’ve ever seen!? Each cactus displays a month of the year. Each student in your class gets a blank sombrero to write their name and the date of their birthday on. They can colour in the hat however they would like!

To create this Mexican themed birthday board we used:

light blue wrapping paper

brown craft paper

Cacti and Sombrero Birthday Display Template (includes the cacti, sombreros, blue and yellow Happy Birthday bunting, and the sun and cloud decorations)

A template for creating an ice cream themed birthday display wall.

Use this template to create a fun and unique ice cream themed birthday board or birthday wall in your classroom.

The template includes:

1. 12 waffle cup ‘months’ (two cups per A4 page)
2. Blank ice cream scoop templates (two scoops per A4 page)
3. A matching “Happy Birthday” sign.

To use this teaching resource:

Laminate the waffle cup ‘months’ and the “Happy Birthday” sign before you create your birthday board.

Provide each student with one blank ice cream scoop on which they can write their name, write their birthday and decorate it as they wish.

Attach the waffle cup ‘months’ the scoops and the “Happy Birthday” sign to the birthday board using blue tack.

When you take down your display the main templates can be reused for the next year (or passed on to another teacher who loved this birthday board idea!) and you can print more blank ice cream scoops for your new student group.

Hints and Tips:

Print all pages of the Ice Cream Birthday Display Template at full size.

If you’d like to create a smaller or a larger display, make sure you print both the cups and the scoops at the same reduced or enlarged size so the proportions remain the same.

Birthday Wishes

These ways are inexpensive and perfect to celebrate students with summer birthdays the last week of school so they can have their day in the spotlight too.

Sometimes it pays off to build in birthday wishes into your curriculum because it gets students writing! Create a birthday class book so that each student can write birthday wishes to their classmate.

It’s great to create a map together of things the student likes, positive attributes about the birthday boy or girl or things they would like for their birthday to give the students enough writing material. {Free printable}

Make the birthday boy or girl feel like a start for a classroom birthday celebration. Create a birthday star book to make each student feel special on their special day.

This will also give you the tools to create a birthday graph in addition to sending home a note about being the star student to parents. {Free printable}

Turn learning birthdays into part of your reading curriculum for kindergartners. Use a birthday pocket chart to create predictable charts, sentences and allow students to manipulate the names, words and dates.

It is a fun way to tie birthday wishes into a literacy centre or poetry centre.

When you know exactly how you want to celebrate birthdays, then when they pop up through the year, you’ll have it under control and ready to go!
