During a recent trip to an elementary school, the WeAreTeachers staff saw some amazing handcrafted signs made by students. These posters had encouraging and thoughtful messages cut into strips along the bottom, along with the note “TAKE ONE!”

We knew we wanted to recreate this clever idea. So here are the four posters we made: Free Positive Thoughts, Free Compliments, Free Kindness Messages, and Free Jokes.

These posters are easily editable by opening them in Adobe Acrobat Reader. Craft your own messages or get your students involved! Plus, there’s a color-your-own version as well. We hope these posters bring lots of smiles to your walls and hallways!
