This resource includes 30 end of the year certificates for students that focus on positive character traits. Each certificate has a cute, catchy title specific to a character trait and animal that it pairs to along. Additionally, each certificate gives a sentence that connects how that character trait is used by the animal in the wild. For example, the Enthusiastic Emu Award is given to a student for their boundless enthusiasm and energy, always eager to jump into new experiences like an emu racing across the outback! This resource gives the option of printing the awards with the animal picture within the medal or printing without pictures.

These awards are great because they praise positive character traits that we as teachers promote and praise daily. They focus on attributes that students can control versus success within specific academic subjects which can can be disheartening for students that struggle with academic tasks or have learning disabilities.
