How to have virtual student birthday celebrations?
Distance learning birthday ideas most likely will be a Zoom birthday (or another platform)
This Birthday Celebration Pop is ONE idea (Grab your FREE copy!)

I love this virtual student birthday idea because it incorporates the whole class. Share the Slides and fill in template.
Students choose a prompt and fill in their answer (except for the birthday student)
If you have more students they can fill out same prompt and just add their name as well.
BONUS- print and mail to the student as a momento or just use in person as well!
If you love this template you MUST check out this version – that works the same for Back to School or getting to know a group of students any time of year!
