Fun Hall Passes

Have students make a school passport. Ask each student to glue his or her photograph to a note card or an index card and then encourage students to add personalizing information such as interests and goals, likes and dislikes, family members, and special friends. Keep the passports at your desk. Students can use them as hall passes, and you can use them to learn your students' names. (Keep a disposable camera handy to take those pictures -- and others.)

Other interesting -- and durable -- hall and bathroom passes suggested recently on listservs by veteran teachers include these:
