I’m sure you’ve seen custom wristbands being used at big events, companies, and non-profit organizations. Some use it as their access or pass to enter the event’s premises, while others use them as memorabilia, and as an advertising tool for others. However, schools can also benefit from custom wristbands. Here are different ways schools can take advantage of them.

1. To Show Support

Schools have a lot of activities, be it an interschool competition or intramural. Instead of pompoms and flags, students can use custom wristbands to show their support for their school or classmates. The main color can be the school color, and you can also add the school name or logo.

2. To Motivate Students

Students, especially the younger ones, love being rewarded and getting gifts or prizes. One way schools can use custom wristbands to motivate students is to give them as a prize or gift when they did something good. It can be as simple as following classroom rules, not being late, showing good conduct, etc. At the end of the school year or term, the student who had the most number of collected wristbands can win an even bigger reward.

3. Gift or Prize

School events like a family day or school carnival where kids can play different games, custom wristbands can also be a great idea as gifts or prizes. You can have the wristbands designed according to the event’s theme to make the experience more memorable. It is also a great gift when students get back to school after the summer break.

4. Connection and Belongingness

Younger students love accessories, and giving them custom wristbands intended for their class will make them happy and even fashionable. However, aside from that, they will also feel more secured and connected, knowing that everyone in the class has the same wristband. They will feel they belong and will not be left out.

5. Class Identification

It would be easier for teachers to know which class a student belongs to with a custom wristband. Let’s admit it, there will always be students who will break the rules and wander around the campus even if it’s not their break time. When this happens, teachers can easily tell which class and grade they belong to.

6. Bus Routes

Younger students tend to be forgetful at times, especially during the start of the school year. Some may have a hard time remembering which bus they need to take in order to get home. One way to solve this is by giving them wristbands with the school bus number, so they won’t be lost and forget it. Teachers can also easily lead lost students to find their way to the correct school bus faster. You can also include the parent’s contact number and address, so teachers will know where to reach them if an emergency happens.

7. Educational Tours

As part of students learning experience, schools provide field trips or educational tours. However, these trips can sometimes be chaotic as students try to go in different directions. To ensure that no student will get lost and easily track them, you can ask them to wear color-coded wristbands. Teachers and chaperones will identify them easily by just looking at their wristbands.

8. School Event Ticketing

To ensure the safety of students during events and that no outsiders can enter the school premises, custom wristbands can be a good alternative, instead of the usual tickets or stamps. Schools can use wristbands during school dances to make the process easier and more efficient. Security and crowd control will also be less challenging. You can also give out glow-in-the-dark wristbands to younger students to make their experience more fun and unforgettable.

Custom wristbands have a lot of uses and students, particularly the younger ones, can find them fun and exciting. Giving out wristbands to students can also help build parents’ confidence that their kids are always safe and in capable hands.
