4 thoughtful gift ideas for your teacher
The end of the schoolyear is in sight and both children and teachers are looking forward to the summer holiday! But this also means that it is almost time to say goodbye to your kid’s beloved teacher. What to give your teachers to show them your appreciation? Get inspired!
A heartfelt DIY gift or note
There is nothing more personal than a self-made gift! Ask all students to write a short note and put it in a decorated jar. Or assemble a nice photobook with pictures of the students. Fill a container with a year supply of your teachers favourite candy. There is nothing wrong with a lovely card with some nice words. Let your creativity run free!
Useful yet fun class supplies
Teachers can always use school supplies, books, and games to play with in class! Create a nice gift basket with scented pens, fun stickers, colourful whiteboard markers, … or buy new learning games or reading books! Great educational games that help stimulate the cognitive skills of students in a fun way are for example Jump In’ – limited edition, Horse Academy or Penguins on Ice. These puzzle games can be used as rewards for students in class or to keep pupils busy when waiting for the rest of the class to finish their exercises.
Tech tools for a digital classroom
Tech tools to take the digital classroom to the next level do not always need to be expensive! For example, you can treat your teacher with a class subscription for educational online games like SmartGamesLive or online tools like Padlet, Edpuzzle, or Quizlet. These online brain training games and tools can help your teachers to elevate their lessons even more! Other tech tools that might make your teacher happy are for example document USB cameras, a mini-projector or smart video cameras. These hardware tools are educational resources that can make it easier to keep up with these modern times.
A piece of nature
If your teacher loves being outdoors or has a green thumb, plants might be a nice way of saying thank you for helping your kid grow this year! Having plants in a room helps improve the air humidity and reduces the CO2 levels in the classroom. Better air quality helps against headaches, colds and coughs and indoor plants also improve your mood and lowers stress and anxiety.
