What teacher doesn’t love the local dollar store? Add that dollar store love to the end of the school year, and you have a great amount of teacher happiness! Give end of the year awards – Dollar Store Awards to your students to celebrate their accomplishments and to celebrate the end of the school year in a fun and unique way.

I always give out end of the year award certificates to my students. I normally give out corresponding prizes, as well. It only seemed natural to put these 2 things together in one convenient package. Here’s how it works:
First, either create your own certificates, or use my easy-to-edit, printable End of the Year Dollar Store Award Certificates. Just type in your students’ names on the certificate that best matches their accomplishments.
You can find these certificates HERE.
Then, take a trip to the dollar store, and buy a corresponding prize for each certificate.
Here’s a helpful list of ideas:
Awesome Artist: colored pencils, markers 
Bookworm: gummy worms, bookmark
Bright Student: sunglasses, anything neon
Bubbly Personality: bubbles
Math Magician: any magic item, wand
Most Musical: harmonica, recorder
Perfect Printer: pencils, notebook
Radical Reader: book, bookmark
Ray of Sunshine: sunglasses, beachball
Rock Star: Pop Rocks, microphone
Shining Star: glow in dark stars, star glasses
Speedy Reader: Matchbox racecar, book
These are just a few. Be creative (or save your own creativity and use the shopping list from my End of the Year Awards Packet)!
Here are some examples of how I matched up prizes with certificates:
I love the way they turned out!  There are 30 total certificates in the packet. 😀

You can always try other End of the Year Award Certificates packets, too! Here are my 3 popular awards packets:
