First-day names
Print name tents students can complete at their seats
Paste the class list, choose the amount of writing space, and add pronunciation or getting-to-know-you prompts only when they support the activity.
Set up the first-day page
- Paste one student per line and add a preferred name or pronunciation note when you already have that information.
- Choose a folded tent, simple name card, survey tent, partner card, or teacher checklist based on what students will do first.
- Check long names and writing space in the preview before printing, then cut and fold only where the selected format requires it.
Choose what appears on the tent
Display name
Print the name students want classmates and teachers to use, with a separate pronunciation note when helpful.
Student prompts
Add one or two short prompts that can be answered without requiring students to share private information.
Writing space
Use larger lines for younger students and a compact layout when the main purpose is quick name recognition.
Teacher reference
Print a checklist when you need to record pronunciation, preferred names, or first-week observations separately.
First-day use notes
Check the name from across the room
The front-facing name should stay large enough to read from the teaching area.
Keep prompts low pressure
Use choices such as a favorite book, activity, or learning preference rather than sensitive family questions.
Let students correct the record
Invite students to update spelling, preferred name, or pronunciation before you reuse the class list.
Other first-week tools
Name tent questions
Can I print a whole class set?
Yes. Paste one student per line and the generator creates the selected page for the class list.
Can I include preferred names or pronunciation?
Yes. Add those fields after each name and review them with students before reusing the list.
What if a name is very long?
Use the preview to check the fit, reduce extra prompts, or choose a layout with more name space.
Can students write on the tents?
Yes. Choose a survey or prompt format and leave enough line space for the grade level.
