Say Hello To Name Tag Stickers

Teachers and shy kids will both find that these adhesive dandies come in handy as everyday communication tools.

First Day of School

The first day of school jitters are the real deal. Encourage your nervous students by giving them a surefire introduction with a name tag. Like eye contact, your name is your little business card for getting to know someone else. It's a handshake without a handshake.

Label Losable Items

Things go missing, mistakes happen and kids have a lot going through their underdeveloped brains. Losing stuff is going to happen. Help the Lost & Found department by providing name labels for your kid's stuff.

Teacher Aids

Teachers, you try, but those first few days of name memorization can be rough. Give yourself a break and have your pupils create fun name tag designs with Sharpies, stickers and crayons. It can be an "art project."

You can also utilize these products for daycare situations. Even put one on your kid so he can make friends. But seriously. Use them as you would label anything else. Put them on lunchboxes, clothing, shoes, and random stuff (that is expensive) and also go missing a lot.

Personalized Cubby Space

Cubbies are a nice way of saying kid cubicle. Offer the children an opportunity to personalize and stake a temporary claim to their little spaces.

Inexpensive Game Time

Be cheap and be proud. Daycare is expensive for all involved, so save some cash with inexpensive sticker games. Trade first names or engage in a good old fashioned "who done it" mystery.

Arts and Crafts Hour

Break out the glitter, scented markers and googly eyes. Let the magic begin! Daycare Arts & Crafts time is a creative endeavor. It focuses on silly ideas, nicknames or the actual name the kid wanted to have. Life is not fair in our favor.

You haven't seen your extended family for a while. Do they even know who you are? Make sure you are fully recognizable with a name sticker.

Senile Crabby Uncles

It can be quite enjoyable to play pranks on elderly uncles who mistake you for your pretentious cousin Mel. Throw Uncle Joe a bone and start acting just like Mel. Your cousin will get annoyed, too, and won't that be fun? Just remind him that mimicry is the sincerest form of flattery.

Ba-Ba-Black Sheeps

Perhaps you're the black sheep of the family. You poor thing! In this case, switch up your name to something new, and re-introduce yourself to the fam. What could go wrong? Nothing that wouldn't make a great story.

Label Potluck Items

You haven't seen your beloved crock pot in years. You were finally able to move on and so you purchased a new one. It has buttons like a rocket ship and cooks an entire turkey dinner in just seconds. You know you need to label it with your full name, SSN, address and blood type.

Companies big and small can benefit from name stickers, especially with wine-infused corporate events. After cocktail hour, everyone loves everyone, but names may be a bit fuzzy. Let's have some fun!

Team Building

Combat this by offering Sharpies and name stickers (optional of course). This can clear up foreseeable confusion and also designate the social rankings in the group. This should be a fun and a little bit awkward activity that can build that team spirit.

Aww, Affirmation

When hosting a work event, many places have name tags pre-printed. This is an opportunity to include employee achievements, years of service and all around affirmations of a job well done. Better than a handshake, am I right?

Let's be real. Zoom is necessary for a lot of companies. Make it feel less Zoom-y and more personal with actual name tag stickers. The added touch will likely help improve morale.

Handwriting Reveals a Lot

Because you haven't met them in person, your co-workers haven't gotten to know the real you yet. Reveal your true nature with the window to the psyche in your penmanship, or lack thereof.

Use Colored Markers to Establish Mood

Again, you're not physically mingling and exchanging energy, so people don't know how you are feeling. Anyone can fake a smile through their perfect makeup on an hour-long Zoom call. Use colored markers on your name tag to quietly communicate the type of morning you're having.

Help Introduce New People

That first Zoom call as a new hire can be awkward. Make it fun with a personalized name sticker!
