Hey everyone!

As we kick off a new school year, what better way to build classroom community than with a little creativity? I’m excited to share a brand-new Guided Activity in Adobe Express for EDU that helps students (and educators!) design personalized name tent cards — and it’s live now!

 

In this activity, students get to:

  • Add their name in a fun, bold style 🖍️️

  • Choose images that reflect their hobbies, interests, and personalities 🎸⚽📷

  • Customize fonts, colors, and layouts to make it truly them

 

It’s a fun and meaningful way to spark connections and build a welcoming environment right from day one. Plus — it’s printable! Just download as a PDF, print, and fold. 🖨️️✨

 

This works great not only in classrooms but also for staff meetings, workshops, and any creative icebreaker!

 

Ready to give it a try? Name Tent Activity

 

Need a tutorial?  Here you go!

 

Would love to see what you and your students create — feel free to share your name tents in the replies!

 

Let’s start the school year with a spark of creativity! 💡📚

I LOVE how these nameplates offer the chance for everyone to build creative confidence, share their own personality and also start to build classroom communities by celebrating each unique individual! SO many possibilities for how these name plates can be used in class! Had fun making mine!

Claudio, I updated my design from the one that I sent to you on X. It's a truly great beginning of the year activity for students and educators. Thanks for sharing the activity!

Looks great Timothy!! Quick question, did you by any chance print all students name tents? If so, did you use the Acrobat example I share in the tutorial?

Thanks for your question Claudio. At this stage, I do not have a class list of my students since school begins on September 2nd. I will do the activity with my class in the first week and let you know how I combined the files of my students' tents in Acrobat. By having the quick-created guided activity available in Adobe Express will make the process easier.

This is such a great quick-create Guided Activity to get students familiar with creating in Adobe Express + share a bit of their own creative flair! Cannot wait to see what folks think about these nameplates! Great for learners of all ages and a fun community building activity the first few days of school!!!
