This banner is set up to look like a football field.
It is divided into 12 yard lines to mark the 12 months of the year.
Are you looking for a set of resources to use to display your students'
birthdays that contains a football theme?
This set of birthday footballs is unique, fun, and available
in both PDF format and Microsoft Word
so that you can type on the templates and customize them yourself.
These football templates measure
7 inches in width and 4 inches in height. The templates
contain thick black borders, so the footballs are easy to cut out.
This birthday display set comes in two formats. The first is a PDF
file for teachers who do not have Microsoft Word on their computers or who
are not very familiar with using Microsoft Word and text boxes.
With the PDF format of this resource, you simply have to print a
football for each student. On each football template, write a student's name,
birthday month, and date.
Below is an example of a football template in the PDF format.
By using the Microsoft Word version of this resource, you can customize each student's
football yourself by typing your students' names and birthdays directly
on the football templates.
With the Microsoft Word version, you can change the color, font, and size of the student's
name which is written across the middle of the football. You can also change the
font and the color of the month and birthday.
This football Happy Birthday set will make an eye catching bulletin board
display highlighting your students' birthdays.
Your students will enjoy seeing
their birthday footballs customized and typed
according to their own birthday information.
Below are 2 examples of birthday footballs that have been customized differently.
In order to showcase your students' birthday footballs, I suggest
creating a classroom bulletin board display that is a large football field.
You will need a green background for the football field
and you should section it off into 12 black yard lines, for the 12 months of the year. The first
yard line would be for January, and students who are born in January
would have their footballs stapled along this yard line.
Below is an example of an idea that I would use to design a
bulletin board display that contains a large football field that would showcase my students'
birthday footballs.
This visual example is included in the
directions section of this set of teaching resource.
In order to help you design a large football field, this Back to School
bulletin board displays set includes flag and cone accent pieces.
There are 12 sets of monthly flags and cones (January is shown below)
and 2 sets of black and white flags and cones for the 2 goal lines.

Thank you for all that you do! You are helping all of us to become better educators!
I just wanted to take a minute to say THANK YOU for the free downloads that are included in your newsletter Teachers Have Class each month, I look forward to receiving every single issue. I absolutely love your products and what you do. I am so excited to use your resources through my teaching journey. Keep up the awesome work. Happy Holidays!
Your lesson plans for Stellaluna, Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas have saved me so much planning time this year. My Gr. 3 students really enjoyed completing the projects that you designed for each of these books. I was able to create great Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas displays in my classroom this year with their projects. Thanks for sharing your ideas and for saving me time.
My students loved your seasonal powerpoint games for Halloween and Thanksgiving. They thought they were playing a game instead of reviewing grammar ;-) I've already purchased all of your other holiday powerpoint lesson plans. Keep making more of these great activities, more POWER to you Heidi!
I just wanted to say thank you for the most amazing teaching resources that I have ever come across in my thirty years of teaching. I have used many of your book report sets this year and my students absolutely loved them. What was particularly pleasing was seeing some of my reluctant readers (especially the boys) really wanting to read books and complete the activities. Keep up the great work!
I feel so fortunate to have found your website and I have referred several of my co-workers to your website. Just for the month of January, there were three teachers displaying your book reports. I had the trophy reports, my neighbor to the left had the computer reports, and my neighbor to the right had the birthday cake reports. Thank you so very much for all of your work!
I'm writing to tell you that my students just finished the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory group projects. They worked so hard, and the Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory projects turned out great! We had them to show for student led conferences. The parents were very impressed, and so were many of the other teachers and my principal. They all commented on my students' work and your creative templates. My students had so much fun doing these projects. I also used the multiplication pizza sticker charts. My students loved those as well!! Thank you so much for all of your amazing products.
I want to write and tell you that I love the resources that you make and share with us, they have truly been helpful to me and my students. I have been teaching grammar rules in a more exciting way, and I owe it all to you. Your grammar powerpoint lessons have been such a blessing! Thank you very much!
Thank you so much for letting me know about the new book report templates. I have been anxiously watching for the house book report project to be posted on your site, so I was excited to be able to purchase it today. It is absolutely adorable. I must tell you that I have received so many compliments from other teachers this year about my students' book reports that I have displayed in our school halls. Thank you again for all of your wonderful ideas....you make my life so much easier as a teacher!
My students are working on their Charlie and Chocolate Factory projects that I bought on your website. One of my students said how nice the other character wheels were and he said, "Besides this is just fun!" Not bad for a third grade boy!!
Just wanted to say thank you so much for your wonderful site and the excellent resources that you provide at such reasonable prices. I purchased and used your lesson plans for the The Giving Tree with my students, and it was a blast. Thanks again!
Simply stated, I LOVE YOUR BOOK REPORT SETS!!!!!!! I'm interested in purchasing them ALL!!!! I've been looking for something like this for quite some time. My students are so excited about reading this year, and it is all because of your fun projects!
I am in awe of what you have accomplished and created for those of us teaching in the public sector. Good for you for taking time off and self publishing. Your enthusiasm is contagious and your generosity is amazing. I recently provided a reading in-service for the K-5 staff at my school. I listed your website as a "must" to visit.
Thanks you for your expertise, creativity, and heartfelt enthusiasm. You are an inspiration to new and veteran teachers and a model for those of us who have not had the guts to go out on our own. You did it!!! I suggest that you go on the speaking circuit and share your knowledge and creativity at the International Reading Association Meetings and the State Reading Associations.
