I'm often asked if our collection of Funny Teacher Award certificates can be used as Funny Student Awards? The answer is a resounding yes!

Although the book wasn't written for specifically for students, many of the awards could apply to school kids. Here are a few examples:

• The Coal to Diamond Award: for most valuable under pressure
• The Glass Half Full Award: for most optimistic
• The American Idol Award: for being most likely to break into song.

These are just a few of the funny awards ready to print with no customization needed. There are dozens where you could change a word or two to make them applicable to students. For some you'd have to use the customized template to reword, but still it is a HUGE time-saver for you!
