How to use Desk Name Plates in the Classroom
Desk name plates are the perfect tool for indicating where each student sits in your classroom as well as providing students with handy visuals they can reference during their learning.
Desk name plates help students remember where they sit, they also help you do the same! During the beginning of the year, they are particularly handy at helping you and your students remember the names of their classmates.
Name plates demonstrate the proper letter formation and line positioning of each student’s name by allowing you to choose the correct school font and handwriting lines.
Do you have a brand new class? Are you wanting to re-theme your classroom? Editable desk name plates are the perfect resource for you!
How to Customise Tropical Paradise Themed Desk Name Plates for the Classroom
A vibrant colour scheme in your classroom can make it a fun place to be! With these tropical paradise themed desk name plates, your students names will pop!
These desk name plates have editable functions, allowing teachers to make personalised decisions about what features to include for their little learners. Along with the vibrant colours, this creates a perfect, personalised addition to your classroom.
The editable options on these customisable desk name plates include:
- the name of the student
- the letters of the alphabet (in both upper and lower case)
- number lines (choose between 10, 20 and 30)
- left and right hands.
You can also choose your state’s school font and font lines to help your students become familiar with correct letter formations.
Easily Prepare This Resource for Your Students
You can download these rainbow watercolour themed desk name plates as is and write your students’ names; however, if you are looking to save time – hit the ‘customise’ button!
We’d recommend printing your students’ desk name plates out on thick white durable card. Once you’ve printed them it’s time to adhere them to your students’ desks. Our hot tip is to use velcro dots or velcro strips – this means that you can remove the desk name plate when the desk is getting cleaned!
If you have students in your class that are tempted to fold the corners of their desk name plates. Another way to utlise the benefits of desk name plates without the hassle of tattered corners is to have a ‘desk folder’ for your students. This could be where they keep all of their work for the week that they need to get out at the start of each day – adhere their desk name plate to this folder.
THANK YOU!! It's so great to have the editable desk name plates back! And now they're better than ever! I love the feature that generates a preview even while I"m entering names into the list. Fantastic, thank you! (Now the ultimate test will be if in the next version you can upgrade the font to allow for Qld Cursive - fully joined! I'm happy to use Qld pre-Cursive for now.)
Hi Katie, As part of a recent website upgrade, we have had to make some changes to the way our custom resources work. We apologise for any inconvenience this change may cause and are working hard to deliver a solution that works well. In the interim, we have published a collection of desk plates that can be modified (school fonts and lines) through our Studio function. These are available here now: https://www.teachstarter.com/au/teaching-resource-collection/desk-plates-alphabet-and-number-line/ Just follow the instructions on the individual resource for best results. In addition, we are currently exploring customisation solutions that will enable you to better tailor Teach Starter to your unique teaching needs. Unfortunately, any new customisation functionality won't be available until later in the year. We will let you know the moment we have details on our new solution and exactly when it will be accessible.
Will we eventually be able to change the number or desk tags per A4 page? (Like it use to be)

Will we be able to edit the length of the number line? 1-30 was great. This process was not as easy as it previously was.
H, Alison, As part of a recent website upgrade, we have had to make some changes to the way our custom resources work. Members can still customise the state font and lines and add their class lists in Studio, but the alphabet, hands and number have to remain static for now, and additional features cannot be added at this time. We apologise for any inconvenience this change may cause and are working hard to create a solution. We are currently exploring customisation solutions and integrations that will enable you to better tailor Teach Starter to your unique teaching needs. Unfortunately, any new customisation functionality won't be available until later in the year. We will let you know the moment we have details on our new solution and when it will be accessible. Best wishes for the year ahead!
I loved these desk plates for my class last year as I was able to quickly and easily make them and adjust them for the various needs in my class. How do I choose a number line that is larger than 0-20? Change the lines to be in line with my schools' policy? Include or not include shapes and/or the left and right hands?
Hi Kelli, As part of a recent website upgrade, we have had to make some changes to the way our custom resources work and this includes limiting some of the features that we can make customisable. You should now be able to select your preferred state font and lines and add your class list. Unfortunately, the other features such as the hands, the alphabet and the number line are fixed and no additional features can be added. We apologise for any inconvenience this change may cause.
