Welcome Banner

On the first day of school, greet your students with a personalized Welcome Banner. Make it colorful by using a combination of printer paper for your school’s colors (Go Gators!). The interactive custom printable banner page from ActivitiesForKids.com offers several different formats to use and different color combinations that can be selected for the font.

First day of school, Welcome banner.

For this example, I used orange and blue printer paper, and selected the standard banner format with the black font color.

There is no limit on the number of pages to create. Make a larger banner by adding the Teacher’s name or the Grade (WELCOME TO 1ST GRADE). Select any letters and fonts that you choose to create your own personalized classroom greeting from the Custom Banners Page.

Steps to Make a Banner

  1. Go to the Custom Banners Page and follow the online instructions for each banner letter – to create the banner in this example, see the print screen below for selections that I used.
  2. Once you have all the pages you want, cut along the outer black line with scissors.
  3. Use a hole punch to punch 4 holes in each banner where indicated.
  4. String together with decorative ribbon.
