How to Use Catholic Saint Tags
If you aren't sure exactly what a reward tag is, check out What on Earth is a Reward Tag for more details on this behavior management technique. Basically, it is designed to reinforce positive behavior. I also shared about how I use them in Ditching my Treasure Box for Reward Tags.
In a Catholic classroom, or more specifically an afterschool type Catechism program, I wanted the reward tags to not just be about positive behaviors, but also other parts of the Catholic faith that we've learned about recently.
Here are some other ideas:
➨If a child demonstrates one of the virtues associated with a certain saint, they could be rewarded with a tag of that saint.
➨If your class does a saint of the day or week, they could earn a tag after you've learned about him/her
➨If your students do a report about different saints, they can earn a tag after they learn about a new saint
➨During All Saints Day celebrations they can earn tags for completing activities related to specific saints
➨You can celebrate a saint on their feast day and hand out tags
➨If you are learning about different virtues, you can pass out tags of saints who exemplified that virtue

How to Prep Catholic Saint Tags
I've included these tags in color and black and white. I usually print the colored version on white cardstock. If I'm using the black and white set, I print on colored cardstock to give it a pop of color. Then I laminate, cut apart with a paper cutter and hole punch each tag.
I have my students collect their tags on a necklace. We use a ball and chain necklace. You could also use a ball and chain keychain or even a book ring to collect the tags.
To store the tags, I use an embroidery floss container. Because I teach in the afterschool program at our church, I do not have my own classroom so I needed a portable option that I can easily carry back and forth.

I know what you are thinking....but my favorite saint/school patron/class patron/personal hero/fan favorite isn't on this list. Can you add it? Unfortunately, with all of my Catholic saint products I am at the mercy of the clip artist who drew all of the saints. She is no longer creating saint clipart so I've purchased everything she's made, but can't create any more without compromising the consistency of the product and images.
