Bitmoji-Themed Kindergarten Graduation Certificates

I LOVE using Bitmoji. In fact, my students get so used to seeing my Bitmoji throughout my classroom materials that they could probably spot it from a lineup of all the teachers in the school!

If you want to start using Bitmoji, you first need the mobile app. Once you’re all set up with your avatar from your phone, you can just add the extension to your Google Chrome browser, and then put your avatar anywhere your heart desires. For more information, read about it here!

Once you’re all set up with Bitmoji, you can use these fun kindergarten graduation certificates with your own avatar. Once you open the Google Slide presentation, just click on my Bitmoji and delete. Then, from your Bitmoji Chrome extension, type “superstar” to find something similar. There are plenty of options!

A Kindergarten Graduation Certificate and Diploma with Space for a Student Photo

I think it’s really sweet to put their sweet faces on the kindergarten graduation certificate or diploma. After all, these are for parents and guardians, so it’s more likely to be a treasured keepsake with a photo included.

Consider taking an end of the year picture in the hallways or against a nice, blank wall. Your phone will probably work fine! Upload it to your Google drive or desktop. Then, you’ll be able to easily edit the slides. Just remove the sweet face below, add your own students, and type in the names.

Some No-Frills (yet super cute) Kindergarten Graduation Certificates

If you don’t want to worry about an extra editing step with Bitmojis or photos, there is a nice variety of editable and free kindergarten graduation certificates below.

Colored pencils are a bit part of elementary school! I also like the wording on this one, because for many students, kindergarten is their first introduction to teamwork and being part of a group.

This one is nice because everyone wants to be called a wonderful student. If it’s not true of the little guy or gal (yet), let’s just focus on “speaking life” over them, right? If we say it often enough, maybe it will become true! They’re so little still.

Kindergarteners love the idea of being a superstar. Shoot, I love the idea myself! This one is a very simple invitation, but the bright colors and easy to read font are appealing.
