If you do the rounded corners, it would be quite a bit longer. I laminate, use a paper cutter to cut apart, then punch the holes. Sometimes I give the laminated sheets to the classroom associate or parent volunteer. Since each sheet has 30 of the same tags, usually they last me all year, unless it's a tag that students can earn multiples of. You can start out with as many or as few styles as you wish, so it's really something that you can ease into. Hope that helps!Diane Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01902328050862071256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074452179383766411.post-82516737415990139932016-08-26T23:03:56.024-05:002016-08-26T23:03:56.024-05:00Thank you so much for the Brag Tag posts!

I am not a fan of the school store or treasure box. Brag Tags could be the answer. I used a similar incentive with Greek and Latin Roots last year, but this was just a month long unit. I am really excited to implement, but I have a few questions before I make the jump! I do have a laminator, but am still concerned about costs. I am also wary of getting in over my head. Can you tell me more about the prep time? How many cards should I prepare up front? By this time next week, I will be in full blown chicken- without- a- head mode! Again, thanks for sharing your great ideas for upper elementary! I am off to visit your TPT store now.mbpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11794446727762485331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074452179383766411.post-3909844221483466802016-07-28T12:00:48.556-05:002016-07-28T12:00:48.556-05:00I used Brag Tags for the first time this past scho...I used Brag Tags for the first time this past school year. They were a great incentive for passing multiplication facts. My students loved earning them. I also gave them for holidays/special days. My students wore them on Fridays only-to keep them from losing interest in them. Every Friday morning they would enter the room and say "It's Brag Tag Day!" <br />Teach80https://www.blogger.com/profile/00190050182340961877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074452179383766411.post-30328851853004775642016-07-27T08:37:27.432-05:002016-07-27T08:37:27.432-05:00Great ideas for how to manage all the little piece...Great ideas for how to manage all the little pieces!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08341239946175398876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074452179383766411.post-66273214560214484362016-07-27T05:22:38.330-05:002016-07-27T05:22:38.330-05:00Love the details in this post on how you manage br...Love the details in this post on how you manage brag tags.
