Looking for a sweet, no-candy way to celebrate the start of school? These free You Rule back to school printable tags are perfect for classmate handouts, a little teacher gift, or a fun note tucked into a lunchbox. The cheerful little ruler says it all: You Rule!
I love handouts like these for the first week of school. They’re inexpensive, they skip the sugar (a win for kids with allergies), and kids get a genuine confidence boost from a simple “you rule!” as they settle into a new grade. Just print, cut, and write in a name.
Ways to Use Your You Rule Tags
There’s more than one way to put these to work:
- Classmate handouts: a fun, non-candy alternative to pass out on the first day or during the first week of school.
- Teacher gift: attach one to a pack of pencils, a gift card, or a little bundle of school supplies.
- Lunchbox notes: tuck one into your kiddo’s lunch for a mid-day pick-me-up.
- Gift toppers: tape one onto a back-to-school treat, goodie bag, or first-day gift.
What to Pair Your You Rule Tags With
The tags are adorable on their own, but they really shine attached to a little gift. A few easy ideas (and the supplies that make them simple):
- A bundle of pencils tied with baker’s twine – inexpensive and always useful
- A cellophane treat bag filled with candy or small school supplies – grab a pack of clear treat bags and finish it with a colorful ribbon
- A fresh pack of markers or crayons with a tag taped on top
- Print on white cardstock so the tags feel sturdy, and use a hole punch if you’d like to tie them on
How to Print
Each sheet includes 8 tags. Print on regular paper, or use cardstock for something a little sturdier. Cut along the dashed lines, write a name on the “To:” line, and you’re done. If you want them to last, print on cardstock or add a strip of clear tape over each one.
