What Are Last Day of School Printables?

These are a set of adorable printable pennant flags designed just for the end of the school year. Think of them like little mini banners your child can hold up in photos, tuck into their backpack, or wave around on the last day. They’re festive, cute, and honestly a little bit funny too.

This set includes 12 different flag designs so you’ve got options, you know? 🎉Here’s what’s included:

• We Did It
• Last Day We’re Out
• Last Day Magic
• Done With the Grind
• Recess Was My Favorite

• School’s Out
• Last Day of School
• Happy Last Day
• Last Day
• Goodbye Homework
• See You Next Year

There’s truly something for every kid’s personality in there. “Done With the Grind” is my personal favorite (same, kid. Same.)

Why You’ll Love This Idea 💕

First off, it’s free. I know, I know — we love a good freebie around here! But beyond that, these flags make for the most adorable end-of-year photos. Instead of just snapping a pic in front of the house (been there, done that), your kiddo gets to hold up something fun and celebratory. It adds that little pop of personality that makes the picture feel special. Plus, they’re perfect for all ages — from kindergarten graduation signs all the way up through middle school.

Second, they take almost zero effort. Seriously. Print them out, do a quick cut, and you’re done. As a busy mom, I am always looking for the easy win — and this is it. You don’t need a Cricut. You don’t need glitter (thank goodness). Just your home printer and a pair of scissors. These end-of-year celebration ideas fit perfectly into the chaos of the last week of school without adding more to your plate.

How to Use Your Last Day of School Printables

Using these is honestly as simple as it gets. Here’s a quick step-by-step so you know exactly what to do:

1. Download the free printable file (link below!).
2. Open it up and send it to your printer. Regular 8.5×11 printer paper works great.
3. Cut out your pennant flags along the edges.
4. Optional: tape or glue them onto a wooden skewer, straw, or chopstick to make them easy to hold.
5. Hand one to your kiddo, head outside, and snap that photo! 📸

That’s it! Seriously. Five steps and you’ve got yourself a picture-worthy last day of school moment.

Fun Ways to Use the Flags 🏁

There are so many ways to use these beyond just a quick photo! Here are some ideas to get you inspired:

• Last day of school photo prop — the classic! Works great for first-and-last day comparison photos too.
• Backpack tag — punch a hole and tie it on with some twine for a cute end-of-year school bag moment.
• Teacher gift topper — attach a flag to a gift bag or treat for the teacher. So charming!
• Classroom party decoration — string a few together for a mini banner in the classroom.
• Memory box keepsake — pop one in your child’s memory box or scrapbook alongside their school photo.
• Bus stop send-off — let them carry one on the last bus ride of the year.
• Summer countdown — tape one to the calendar as a fun visual countdown.

Variations & Customization Ideas

Want to make these even more personalized? Here are some simple ways to switch things up:

Print on Colored Paper

Swap plain white paper for bright cardstock. Red, yellow, or sky blue gives the flags an extra festive feel. It also makes the print sturdier for little hands to hold.

Laminate for Durability

If you want to reuse these year after year (hey, you’ve got more than one kid, right?), laminate them! They’ll hold up way better in photos and can be stored for the next sibling’s big day.

Make a Mini Garland

Print multiple flags, cut them out, and string them along a piece of twine or ribbon to create a darling last day of school banner. Hang it on the front door or the breakfast table for a sweet surprise. Your little graduate will love it!

Pair With a Chalkboard Sign

Use the pennant flag alongside a chalkboard or whiteboard sign that shows the grade they just completed. Together, they make for an extra special school milestone photo that you’ll treasure.

Common Questions About Last Day of School Printables

What size should I print the flags?

Standard 8.5 x 11 works perfectly! You can also resize in your print settings if you’d like them bigger or smaller depending on how you plan to use them.

Do I need a special printer or ink?

Nope! Any home printer works. For best results, use the “best quality” setting so the colors come out vibrant and crisp. That’s especially helpful if you’re using these as school year photo props.

Can I use these for multiple kids or grades?

Absolutely! That’s the beauty of having 12 different designs. Each child can pick their favorite saying, and since the designs are general (not grade-specific), they work for any age from preschool all the way up.

What’s the best way to attach the flag to a stick?

Tape works great! Fold the top of the pennant over a wooden skewer or thick straw and secure with a strip of tape on the back. Easy, clean, and fast. You know — exactly how we like our DIY projects around here. 😄

Are these good for a first and last day of school comparison?

Yes! Pair a “Happy Last Day” flag with your first day of school sign for a side-by-side comparison that shows how much they’ve grown. Those photos are absolute keepsakes. Cue the happy tears.
