Pre-writing Activity
Because there is limited typing space on an ID badge, kids are forced to focus in on the main points. This makes ID badges great for pre-writing as students prepare to compose personal narratives or research papers. If you are running short on time they make a great end product too.
Student's poems are often short enough to fit on an ID badge. Students can then upload a picture to go with their poem or add a picture of themselves, the author.
Classifying & Creating Data Tables
Since ID badges have a big title line they are perfect for creating classroom graphic organizers. Students print out their badges & the teacher classifies and displays students work on a graph that is on the class bulletin board.
Tech Tip: Id badges make for an impressive final product that can be displayed in hallways or clipped to research journals for inspiration. To print them have students save the file and then past them into a word document. This allows students to control the print size and print a badge that is actually the size of a real ID badge (thus saving ink!).
