Tuesday
Tuesday is for relieving staff stress and setting up some fun they can use all week long!
When your table isn’t being used to house tasty treats, you can leave some emoji stress-relief items for staff to enjoy. Who wouldn’t love to squish a bumpy sensory ball while waiting on their copies to finish printing?
You can sprinkle in some LED emoji fidget spinners to brighten their day!
Or let them get out their stresses and show they’re pooped and ready for Summer with this poop emoji fight spinner!

This is a week to forget about “Wellness Wednesday” and let the staff indulge in some sweet treats!
The go-to treat that seems to scream emoji theme are “poop” chocolate cupcakes. Go all in and make some in these adorable emoji themed cupcake liners.
Don’t want to do the chocolate poop icing thing? You can always adorn regular cupcakes with these emoji cupcake toppers.
Or even spruce up a plain sheet cake with some edible emoji cake topping images.

Thursday
Here’s a “Thoughtful Thursday” idea- give your staff some practical swag bags! Teachers always love some fun school supplies and there are so many cute emoji-themed items you can use to brighten their week!
All teachers love quirky writing options. Themed pens will be sure to help their mood no matter what emotions they’re feeling.
Give them a place to jot down all those brilliant teacher ideas with some themed notepads.
Some new emoji stickers can give their graded papers some new flair or maybe their teacher-to-teacher notes some additional humor at the end of the year.
Cleaning their classroom dry-erase boards will be way more fun with some emoji erasers.
And make sure there’s an easy way to carry all their goodies back to their classrooms by wrapping everything up in a sweet emoji-themed bag.
Friday
Fun Fridays shouldn’t just be for the students during teacher appreciation week. To wrap up the week, why not let them have some fun and act like kids themselves? You can add these to a traveling cart and let each educator pick something that gives them a giggle!
Some bubble wand clapper toys might just be what the teacher needs to help call their class in from recess during these last days of school.
Or maybe as the temperatures go up they could use a fun way to quickly cool down with a fun new fan.
They can bop their way to happiness with some emoji punch balloons.
And lastly, a group competition among teachers is always a hit. Pit their emoji skills against each other while they try to decipher some children’s book titles with a friendly little lunch-time competition.
To cap off the week, make sure the emoji winner can proudly display their emoji superiority with a super cute poo trophy. Who knows? You just might start a new school trend of the traveling poop-emoji trophy to help brighten teachers’ days for many years to come.
Over To You!
Your school staff will surely LOVE all the attention you shower on them during an emoji-filled fun week. They will probably LOL at all the cute details you work in and may even CRY knowing how much you appreciate them! At the end of the year, we all know they’re POOPED because OMG some of these kids are starting to act TOO COOL for school!
