Free Posters that Inspire Kindness in the Classroom

It’s that time of year again when teachers return to their classrooms to set up for a new school year. A great way to promote kindness and positivity in the classroom is to decorate with colorful posters.

Classroom walls don’t need to be all about math facts and sight words. There’s definitely a place for educational posters and signs, but a fun way to cheer help inspire hard work, and positive thinking, decorating with inspirational quotes will get your students started off in the right direction.

Our posters fall under the category of kindness and positivity. While not academic in nature, these themes will fit in with any lesson plan.

Printing on card stock allows for durable, long-lasting posters suitable for interactive whiteboards, bulletin board ideas, or even flash cards. 

​Display them as-is or get a little creative and add these growth mindset posters to cheap dollar store frames or clipboards.

I absolutely love bright, cheerful spaces. These inspiring quotes are perfect for elementary school classrooms, playrooms, and homeschool workspaces. 

These classroom signs are available in PDF format but jpeg files can be provided upon request.

A few years ago when I was first introduced to the app/website, Canva, I didn’t like it. I was mainly using it for photo collages for my blog posts. There was another site that I had been using for years and I didn’t want to learn anything new.

I’m not sure what changed my mind but now I can’t get enough of Canva. Making these 4 bright and cheerful inspiring classroom posters brought me so much joy. 

I love the bright color palette in addition to the font combinations. However, what I love the most is the quotes themselves.

Encouraging Quotes for Kids to Spread Positivity

There’s no shortage of encouraging quotes for kids to spread positivity but for now I’m just focusing on four of them. This entire collection consists of 4 different posters and they will make such a cute display on any classroom wall.

These printable pages would be a great addition to a hallway bulletin board as well.

Let Your Light Shine

This adorable “Let Your Light Shine” printable uses a fun combination of a handwritten script font called Arley as well as a groovy font called Nectarine.

Let Your Light Shine

Be The Nice Kid

This design was a little bit out of the box for me with the random polka dots pattern but in a 1st grade classroom, it would be perfect. The fonts used in this design are Anton and Halimum.

Be The Reason Someone Smiles Today

This design just might be my favorite. As someone who is not the most outgoing person and who can be a little shy with new people, a smile goes such a long way. 

Teach your kids this concept at a young age with this free resource.

MUST HAVES FOR USING FREE PRINTABLES

To take advantage of these free pages make sure you always have these supplies on hand.

  • PRINTER – I use the HP Envy 6055 and subscribe to HP’s Instant Ink.
  • COPY PAPER
  • Crayons, Markers or Colored Pencils – In my opinion, Crayola is the only way to go!

If you want to take things up a notch, consider these options:

  • Laminate these Printable Classroom Posters to preserve them from year to year. NOTE: If you don’t have a laminator on hand and are not in the market for one, these self-laminating sheets are perfect. I use them all the time.

WHERE CAN I FIND FREE PRINTABLES?

Obviously you know you can find free printables here at The Girl Creative because you are here. (wink wink) When I’m looking for free printables I usually just type what I’m looking for into Google or Pinterest.

By clicking the “images” tab in Google you’ll be able to see the actual printable instead of just the text link to the source. This is very helpful when you are searching for something specific.

HOW CAN I PRINT FREE PRINTABLES?

The great thing about free printables is that they are FREE. Most printables include a PDF that you can download and print right from your home printer. You don’t need any special software or special paper either. Copy paper works just fine.

Printing Tip: When you print from home, be sure to change the print settings to “best” so that you have best quality possible. You might find this setting under “quality”. Your choices will be 300dpi, 600dpi and 1200dpi. 600dpi is perfect. I

If you’re worried about using too much ink, you can certainly try 300dpi first. Depending on what you’re printing, 300dpi might be all you need.

HOW DO I PRINT FREE PRINTABLES FROM PINTEREST?

While you can print right from Pinterest, you definitely should not. What you should do is click the link on Pinterest that will bring you to the page that houses the actual printable. By doing this you are also getting the best quality of the printable.

HOW DO I CREATE A PRINTABLE?

The best way to create a printable is by using the website, Canva. Canva has many templates that you can choose from and modify.

If you prefer to create a printable from scratch, you can do that too. You can do this by clicking the “Create a Design” button from the top right hand corner of the screen and from there you can choose a specific size or make up your own custom size.

After you have your template chosen or your blank sheet to create from scratch, you’ll add graphics and text by using the menu on the left. Once your design is to your liking, click “DOWNLOAD” from the top left corner.

Choose “PDF Print” from the dropdown menu and then click download. Your print will download to your computer (usually defaults to the download folder on your computer) and from there you can print it out.
