Free, Editable Kindergarten Certificates and Graduation Diplomas

It’s the end of the school year and it’s time to celebrate the end of kindergarten.

Here are free kindergarten diplomas and kindergarten completion certificates that you can download instantly and print.

My kindergarten students never actually had a graduation ceremony (with all of the fanfare you might be planning for your own celebration) – but we did fun end of the year celebration alternatives instead.

For our end of the year fun – we liked to do an end of the year countdown using the letters of the alphabet.

We also took lots of end of the year class photos and hosted a little red carpet event in our classroom.

These end of the year printable certificates would be perfect for either graduation or a low-key end of the year event.

I want to support you as you organize, think and teach smart.

About these free diplomas and certificates

You can download them for free and print them at home or at school.

Each one says, “Congratulations to: (student name) for completing kindergarten”

They look terrific printed in color and don’t use up too much color ink to do a class set.

But, they also look fantastic printed on bright color paper too. You can write in your student names or do it on the computer before you print!

I’ve also included one grayscale version that looks great printed on black and white laser printers or school copy machines.

They’re editable – so you can type in your name and school year as well as your students’ names. But you’ll need either Microsoft Powerpoint or Google Slides to edit them.

What are you waiting for? Let’s make these right now. I’ll show you how.

How to make a digital copy

If you need to send a digital copy to your students, here’s what you do:

Only keep the page you want to use in the file and delete the rest.

Then make one certificate (save/print as a pdf) to send to your student and repeat for the rest of your class.
