43 Classroom Jobs Your Students Can Do!

There are so many things to do in a classroom! I am going to utilize my students this year with some of the jobs.  This makes them feel important and helps our room flow smoothly.  I have been considering all the different jobs my students could do!  These are the ones I have come up with so far!

I will only have 22 first grade students this year, so some of these can be doubled up.  For example, the Paper Passers can also be Paper collectors, which is separated in this list.  There may be jobs that you would rather do yourself unless you have the perfect student for that job! Last year, I had a cutie that could just about run the whole room! Of course she didn't, but she could have!

And of course, each of these will need to be taught with procedures, especially with my littles!  Do you have other jobs I didn't think of? List them below.

Pin for later reference so you don't lose this list and can come back to it later! At the bottom of this post are several ready to print job tags for you to display in your classroom!



Each job has number of students needed for this task.  You may adjust according to your needs.
