Free Printable Name Tags for Work or School

Get to Know Each Other with Free Printable Name Tags

Whether you're having a meeting in the workplace or trying to make new friends during the first week of school, remembering everyone's name can be quite a challenge. It's important that you remember names, though, because people can become hurt or offended if you've forgotten their name or mistakenly called them by the wrong one. It is considered common courtesy to remember someone's name. Unless you have a photographic memory, you may have some trouble with this, as we all do when we need to memorize several names at once. Rather than trying to overwork your brain with remembering names and faces, make it easier for those first few days with name tags. Name tags are available at FreePrintableOnline.com in the free miscellaneous printables category in a variety of styles.

Free Printable Name Tags for Classroom Use

School starts any day now for most students throughout the country. Teachers, if you need help pairing names with those precious faces, you may want to consider using these free printable star name tags to identify your students. When students wear these on their shirt, it makes it much easier to associate a name with a face quickly. This aids in memorization for the teacher, but also helps the students get to know each other, too. To make it fun for the kids, allow them to write their own names and decorate their name tags with drawings, if they'd like. This is a great activity for the first day of school. During the second day of school, have them write their names and what they want to be when they grow up under the name. For the third day, you could ask students to write their name and two unusual facts about themselves. As you can see, the possibilities are endless. A name tag doesn't have to be a boring name tag. It can be so much more – an effective tool to learn not only names, but also likes and dislikes, hopes and aspirations and so on. These name tags can last longer if they're printed on card stock and laminated before given to the students. However, if you plan on giving the students fresh name tags every day, just print them out on adhesive paper (sticker paper) to make it easy for students to take them on and off.
