Help ‘Stamp’ Out Drugs With a Postage Stamp Template

Red Ribbon Week is an important event that goes beyond just one week on the calendar. It’s a way to help children understand the dangers of drugs and alcohol and to encourage students to make good choices for their health and safety. It’s the perfect chance to unite and work towards educating and inspiring our students and protecting their well-being.

Each year, schools nationwide observe Red Ribbon Week to discuss the effects of drugs and alcohol. The Teach Starter team is here to support you in planning these crucial lessons, and we’re thrilled to announce our latest addition: our ‘Stamp Out Drugs!’ Postage Stamp Template.

Design Your Own Postage Stamp to Promote Drug Awareness

Encourage creativity and awareness during Red Ribbon Week with this engaging Design Your Own Postage Stamp Template! This printable postage stamp template invites students to design their very own postage stamp with a powerful anti-drug message. Kids can illustrate positive choices, healthy lifestyles, or Red Ribbon Week slogans inside the stamp frame, making it a meaningful way to combine art with drug awareness.

You can guide students by brainstorming slogans such as “Be Kind to Your Mind! Stay Drug Free or “My Future is Too Bright for Drugs.” Younger students can use this template and draw positive symbols like smiling suns, happy children, or pictures of their future, while older students could create more detailed images showing the contrast between healthy lifestyles and the dangers of drugs.

The creative results you get from these templates make great options for bulletin board displays, hallway showcases, or classroom displays. This activity helps students take ownership of the Red Ribbon Week theme while expressing their ideas in a low-stakes creative way.
