At the end of the year last school year, I passed out Summer Art Challenge sheets. Each of the students who participated received a certificate and a prize or two or three depending on how much of the challenge they completed. Visit this past blog post to read about the challenge activities.
Here is the certificate I passed out. I blocked off my name and the school name/year, so you can use this award sheet and just add your name or school to the bottom. Open as a jpeg and use a photo editing program to add text.
Here are a few examples of the types of prizes I gave out. Target dollar spot was an excellent place to buy prizes. I also had these super cool skinny sketchpads donated by Nasco art supply company. Thanks so much!
