About this template
Competition organisers, schools and clubs reach for designs like this one when they want to reward students and staff: a playful Spelling Bee Champion Certificate that looks as good in a frame as it does in a folder. The colour scheme you see, Mint Bee, is one of three built into the design, with scattered stars at the heart of the layout. The big, friendly type is easy for young readers to recognise as their own.
Suggested wording
Copy one of these lines into the certificate, then replace the words in brackets.
In recognition of [Name]’s excellent progress in [Subject]. Keep up the great work!
Presented to [Name], [Class], for outstanding effort and attitude in [Term].
Congratulations, [Name]! You have been named Student of the Week for [Reason].
How to customise it
Click any line to change it: the recipient’s name, the wording, the date, the winning word and speller and the signatures. Need portrait instead of landscape, or US Letter instead of A4? Change it in one click. Fonts can be swapped too; the defaults are Aclonica and Quicksand. The design comes with three colour schemes (Honey Stage, Mint Bee and Berry Bee), and every single colour can be changed. There is an Arabic edition too, laid out right to left with Baloo Bhaijaan 2.
Printing tips
Bright white card of about 220 gsm makes the colours pop and stands up to small hands. In the print dialog choose “Actual size” rather than “Fit”, so the border isn’t cropped. It fits a standard certificate frame or a document folder.
