Visual Hall Pass Template
Just as you would use printable homework charts or free behavior charts with elementary students, you can use visual hall passes. Kids in grades pre-K through five can use these passes to let other teachers know why they're in the hallway without you. The passes feature hall pass clip art of these common destinations: girl's bathroom, boy's bathroom, nurse, library, office, and cafeteria.
Ways to Customize the Hall Passes
While these hall passes are simple, there are a few easy ways you can make them unique.
- Add your name to the top line in your favorite colored font.
- Add stickers or simple drawings to the destination images to make them fun such as adding a Santa hat to the boy's bathroom figure in December.
- Use actual photos of these locations in your school instead of the cartoon images.
- Cut out the passes and adhere them to funny objects such as a toy frying pan or action figure.
Basic Blank Hall Pass Template
Make your own hall passes for any specific need you have with a basic blank hall pass template. This design features a lined paper look and room for the teacher issuing the pass to sign and room for the teacher who receives the student to sign. These work great for round-trip hallway use in middle school.
Ways to Customize the Hall Passes
Since the blank hall passes are completely editable, there are many ways you can customize them.
- Create a class bathroom pass by filling out the info in a generic way like saying "Forever" in the "date/time" spot then adhering the pass to the front of a notebook or roll of toilet paper.
- Draw funny stick cartoons in the margins to represent common destinations so you don't have to fill that in on a moment's notice.
- Add your electronic signature to all the passes before printing to make filling them out quicker.
Detailed Check Box Hall Pass Template
High school teachers are often in a bigger rush and teens have more possible locations to visit in the school. These bright orange hall passes signal to passing teachers that the student has permission to be in the hall and feature a convenient check box system for marking destinations.
Ways to Customize the Hall Passes
- Fill in the year on every date line and add your electronic signature before printing to make filling them out easier.
- Create one page of passes for each student in your class(es) by adding their name to the "student name" line before printing. Keep them in alphabetical order in a binder.
- Once printed, pre-cut a portion of each pass so it's easier to tear off when you need it.
Ways to Create Your Own Hall Passes
If you pride yourself on originality and love craft projects, you can make your own cool hall passes featuring items related to the subject you teach or things your students love. Add printable hall passes to other items to make durable passes or create your own from scratch.
