School Trips for Black History Month with Wristbands

Since 1976, The United States has officially designated the month of February as the celebration of Black History Month. Many schools teach important lessons on the many contributions of African Americans to the history, culture, and education of the United States. Churches and youth groups may also teach Sunday school lessons that tie into Black History Month, such as sermons on equality and brotherly love. There are lots of charities that can use Black History Month to their advantage by raising donations for non-profit organizations that support inner-city youth or another reputable cause. Whether you are an educator, youth group leader, Sunday school teacher, or campaign promoter – ordering quality wristbands from wristbands.com can significantly help you be successful with the planning and organization of Black History Month lessons, field trips, and activities.

Teachers of elementary, middle school, and high school students are likely to be preparing Black History Month lessons during February. For elementary students, visiting a library that focuses on Black History is an excellent option for a field trip. Take the students to the library in the beginning of Black History Month, and require each student to check-out a book on a prominent African American figure from the Civil Rights era. Then, have each student present an oral book report to the class.

Parents will have peace of mind knowing their child has proper identification while on their Black History Month school field trip.

Churches also often recognize Black History Month, and Sunday school teachers may want to teach the children under their care about some influential African American men and women who were large contributors to the church. Sunday school teachers can teach children some facts related to Black History Month, and the next time they meet, quiz them. If they answer correctly, you can reward them with a trendy silicone wristband from wristbands.com.

Non-profit organizations and charities may also find wristbands a helpful tool with helping to promote an awareness campaign that is related to Black History Month.

Using Wristbands for Your Valentine’s Day Party Ideas

Valentine’s Day is one of the busiest nights a year for restaurants and bars, and staff may become overwhelmed if their facility is not sufficiently prepared for the inevitable Valentine’s Day rush. Like adults, children also look forward to Valentine’s Day, mainly for the candies and cards they will receive from their classmates during parties at school.

Since Valentine’s Day has become such a largely commercialized holiday, many places of business create promotional Valentine’s Day items to give to customers, such as pink or red silicone wristbands with a company’s name imprinted onto the surface. Likewise, charities or fundraising committees also follow the Valentine theme by creating awareness campaigns offering keepsake items, such as custom Valentine’s Day wristbands, in exchange for donations to their charity or non-profit organization. Even churches and temples have Valentine’s Day events for the members and children of their congregations. Wristbands.com offers a huge selection of stock red, pink, and hot pink wristbands, and custom Valentine’s Day wristbands to keep track of attendees, verify age, and more. Whether you’re hosting a Valentine’s Day event at your bar or restaurant, or are collecting donations to raise awareness for heart disease, choose wristbands.com for all your Valentine’s Day organizational and fundraising needs.

Bars, restaurants, and nightclubs often have special deals and discounts to attract large crowds for Valentine’s Day. It is likely going to be a crowded evening, and if alcohol is going to be served, age verification wristbands are a must. Wristbands.com carries bright pink and red “Over 21” wristbands that will tie perfectly into the Valentine’s Day color scheme. If you are looking for fun wristbands that sparkle under any type of lighting, order our holographic wristbands, made from a strong tri-laminate material, that are available in a variety of glittery Valentine’s Day colors.

Your custom wristbands will serve as a special Valentine’s Day memory to your guests.

Schools may also find wristbands helpful if they are going to be hosting a Valentine’s Day dance in the evening or a school-wide Valentine’s Day party during the day. Many elementary schools have a Valentine’s Day parade for their students, and teachers or staff may want to purchase wristbands to keep count of children and verify the ID of adult volunteers.

People will be happy to donate several dollars to your charitable cause because it makes them feel good to give back to society.

It may be fun to host a Valentine’s Day fair with an assortment of games and booths.

Remembering Martin Luther King Jr. With Commorative Wristbands

Every third Monday of January, our country sets a day aside to commemorate the life of one of the most influential people in our history – Martin Luther King Jr. While children and young people enjoy getting a holiday off from school, too many of them do not understand why Martin Luther King’s birthday is celebrated. If you are an educator, group leader, or mentor, you can use commemorative wristbands as a useful and fun learning tool to teach children about the American civil rights milestones established by Martin Luther King Jr.

You can custom imprint some of Martin Luther King’s famous words on silicone, plastic, vinyl, or Tyvek® wristbands from wristbands.com. “I Have a Dream,” is by far the most well-known speech by Martin Luther King Jr., delivered on Aug. 28, 1963, on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. The phrase “I Have a Dream,” can easily fit the length of even a child-sized wristband. Purchase custom wristbands with “I Have a Dream,” printed on them, and pass them out to children before Martin Luther King Jr. Day, or all throughout Black History Month. You can reward children who memorize King’s speech with a brightly-colored wristband that features one of our nation’s most historical and meaningful phrases.

Since the entire “I Have a Dream” speech is about 17 minutes long, it is quite a lot for young students to memorize. As a group activity, have different kids in your class memorize sections of the speech, and perform it in front of the school during Black History Month. Or, have your class say the speech in front of their parents at a special school event or fundraiser. After the speech, explain to parents and other audience members that each child is encouraged to wear their commemorative “I Have a Dream” wristband the entire Black History Month in remembrance of Martin Luther King’s great achievements. Ask some of the children in your class to help pass out “I Have a Dream” wristbands to their family members in the audience, so they too can participate. 

Order pre-printed “I Have a Dream” wristbands in an assortment of colors to help give Martin Luther King’s message meaning to our youngest generation –  who are perhaps learning about the American civil rights movement for the very first time. Wristbands.com offers endless customization options for wristbands of all colors and styles. Order “I Have a Dream” wristbands in an assortment of colors to help teach the lesson of Martin Luther King’s life to your students. All of the wristbands will be different colors, yet unified with the same phrase, just as Martin Luther King taught us about our fellow Americans.
Encourage other teachers at your school to participate in teaching their students about Martin Luther King  Jr. and Black History Month. For an impactful school-wide activity, have all of the students, teachers, and staff hold hands in a circle around the school and say Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech out loud together while wearing different colored wristbands from wristbands.com. Or, have different grades or classrooms memorize sections of the speech and recite it while the whole school is holding hands in a circle. You could also do the same activity with a single classroom or grade of children around the flagpole on your school campus.

A wristband makes a circle, which is the universal symbol for unity. That is why they are an ideal tool to use when explaining a difficult lesson to children such as the American civil rights movement of the 60s. It may be hard for children to imagine that less than a century ago, slavery was still a thriving realism in American culture. For this reason, this is not a lesson that should take a day to explain and study. Instead, it should be done over an extended period of time. You may want to purchase wristbands made from a durable, waterproof material like vinyl or plastic. Or, you can order silicone wristbands which can easily be removed, but are re-wearable for weeks on end. Silicone wristbands are especially trendy for both children and adults, and can be custom imprinted in a variety of basic and premium styles on wristbands.com.

We also offers glitter wristbands that can be custom printed with the phrase, “I Have a Dream,” in either white or black ink. Children will love wearing these wristbands to commemorate Martin King Jr. Day, or even for the entire month of February , which is Black History Month.  Our metallic glitter wristbands are manufactured from a sturdy tri-laminate vinyl and are non-transferable. They feature a plastic one-time snap closure so children and their parents will not have to worry about them falling off or getting lost. Our glitter wristbands sparkle in the sunlight, which will be fun for children during recess or on their lunch break, and are available in multiple colors and patterns.

You may want to take a more solemn approach if you are purchasing Martin Luther King Jr. Day “I Have a Dream” wristbands for teenage students. Try using solid colored vinyl, plastic, or silicone wristbands instead of glitter wristbands. You can print a large variety of colored ink on solid colored wristbands. For teenagers, you can use matching wristbands instead of a various colored wristbands.

Chances are, this is not the first time your teenage students have been taught or have heard about the American civil rights movement, so you can challenge them with trivia to win “I Have a Dream Wristbands.” Create a quiz on Martin Luther King Jr. with information such as his birthday, what year his famous speech was delivered, and a bonus section where students must write out Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech.  If they write the whole speech correctly, make sure to reward them with a trendy silicone “I Have a Dream” wristband from wristbands.com!

South Park is Making Joke to Armstrong Yellow Wristbands

What will you do if you are now already falling and becoming the mock of discussion in public?  How do you defend yourself to clear your name and reputation?

Well, it is even worst if a cartoon movie is portraying your image into a joke story for the episode.  In a teaser clip released on Monday by Comedy Central, an episode titled “A Scause for Applause” shows residents of the fictional American town standing in line to get their yellow wristbands removed.

While the teaser for the October 31 episode does not refer to Armstrong by name, Comedy Central said in a statement that it deals with “the recent news of drug use by a beloved icon” and “the world is left feeling lost and betrayed”.

Armstrong, who was stripped of his cycling titles and banned for life earlier this month for doping, used yellow wristbands to promote his charity Livestrong.

In the “South Park” episode, the news has left the town enraged and upset as chubby foul-mouthed Eric Cartman, one of the show’s four lead children, declares “I can’t believe we all got duped”. Hapless schoolboy Clyde Donovan yells “lying jerk” and school counselor Mr Mackey sobs as his bracelet is removed, saying, “I don’t know what to believe in anymore”.

Armstrong, 41, who became a hero after battling cancer to dominate the world of professional cycling, has always denied allegations of taking performance enhancing drugs.

He was banned from the sport for life after 11 of his former team mates testified against him and the United States Anti-Doping Agency published a report which alleged he had been involved in the “most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program that sport has ever seen”.

“South Park” creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone are known for responding quickly to current affairs and taboo subjects for their raunchy comedy show, which has become a cult hit.

They previously landed in hot water after showing late Australian wildlife expert Steve Irwin with a stingray barb in his chest less than two months after his sudden death from a stingray attack, and drawing the Muslim prophet Mohammed dressed in a bear costume in a 2006 episode.

The Color of Your Wristbands Can Say About You

Color is the most impactful element to consider when designing your wristbands. Whether you are looking for a barely-there whisper of color or a   bold combination of vibrant hues, the element of color will transform   your overall theme and perception.

Color Choice tells a lot about a personality. In fact, color goes hand in hand with who you are and what attracts you. See what the experts say about  you with your wristbands color choices:

White: Symbolic of purity, innocence and naivete,   white has strong connotations of youth and purity. If you are an older   person, your preference for white could indicate a desire for perfection   and impossible ideals, maybe an attempt to recapture lost youth and   freshness. It may also symbolize a desire for simplicity or the simple life.

Red: The color of strength, health, and vitality,   Red is often the color chosen by someone outgoing, aggressive, vigorous   and impulsive—or someone who would like to be! It goes with an ambitious   nature but those who choose it can be abrupt at times, determined to   get all they can out of life, quick to judge people and take sides. Red   people are usually optimistic and can’t stand monotony; they are rather   restless and not at all introspective, so they may be unaware of their   own shortcomings. They find it hard to be objective and may blame others   for any mishaps. Quiet people with a preference for red may feel the need for the warmth,   strength and life-giving qualities of the color, or they blanket their   true feelings under a sober exterior. Red is usually chosen by people   with open and uncomplicated natures, with a zest for life.

Maroon: Harsh experience has probably matured the   Maroon person into someone likable and generous. It is often a favorite   color of someone who has been battered by life but has come through. It   indicates a well-disciplined Red personality—one who has had difficult   experiences and has not come through unmarked but who has grown and   matured in the process.

Pink: This color embodies the gentler qualities of   Red, symbolizing love and affection without passion. Women who prefer   Pink tend to be maternal. Pink desires protection, special treatment and   a sheltered life. Pink people require affection and like to feel loved   and secure, perhaps wanting to appear delicate and fragile. Pink people  tend to be charming and gentle, if a trifle indefinite.

Orange: This color of luxury and pleasure appeals to   the flamboyant and fun-loving person who likes a lively social round.   Orange people may be inclined to dramatize a bit, and people notice   them, but they are generally good-natured and popular. They can be a   little fickle and vacillating, but on the whole they try hard to be   agreeable. Orange is the color of youth, strength, fearlessness,   curiosity and restlessness.

Yellow: The color of happiness, wisdom and   imagination, Yellow is chosen by the mentally adventurous, searching for   novelty and self-fulfillment. Yellow usually goes with a sunny and   shrewd personality, with a good business head and a strong sense of   humor. It is the color of intellectuality and all things to do with the mind.   Yellow folks are usually clear and precise thinkers who have a good   opinion of their own mental capacities and who have lofty ideals. They   may at times tend to shun responsibility, preferring freedom of thought   and action.

Green: The color of harmony and balance, Green   symbolizes hope, renewal and peace, and is usually liked by the gentle   and sincere. Greens are generally frank, community-minded people, fairly   sociable but preferring peace at any price. Green people can be too   self-effacing, modest and patient, so they may get exploited by others.   They are usually refined, civilized and reputable.

Blue: Soft, soothing, compassionate and caring, Blue   is the color of deliberation and introspection, conservatism and duty.   Patient, persevering, conscientious, sensitive and self-controlled,   Blues like to be admired for their steady character and wisdom. They are   faithful, but are often worriers with somewhat inflexible beliefs and   can be too cautious, and suspicious of flamboyant behavior.

Blue-Green: Exacting, discriminating, poised and   attractive, the Blue-Green person tends to be sensitive, intellectual   and refined, persevering and stable if rather detached. Blue-Greens have   excellent taste, and are usually courteous and charming, capable but   often refusing help or guidance.

Turquoise: Complex, imaginative and original,   Turquoise people drive themselves hard and may be in a state of turmoil   under their outwardly cool exterior.

Lavender: This is often chosen by a person who lives   “on a higher plane,” who never notices anything sordid and who is   always impeccably and beautifully dressed. Lavender people may be on a   continual quest for culture and the refined things of life, high and   noble causes but without the necessity of getting their hands dirty. A   Lavender person is usually creative, charming, witty and civilized.

Purple: Purples are highly individual, fastidious,   witty and sensitive, with a strong desire to be unique and different.   Temperamental, expansive and artistic, a Purple person may become aloof   and sarcastic when misunderstood. If you chose Purple, you tend to be   unconventional, tolerant and dignified, likely to achieve positions of   authority.

Brown: A Brown person has stamina and patience,   tending to be very solid and substantial, conscientious, dependable,   steady and conservative. Browns are not impulsive, and may be   inarticulate and tactless but they love responsibility and are reliable   and kindly. If you chose Brown, watch out for a tendency to be obstinate   and inflexible.

Gray: The color of caution and compromise, diligent   Grays search for composure and peace and often work hard without reward.   Older Grays like life to run on an even keel with few ups and downs.   Young Grays may be withdrawing from life and suppressing their   personalities. Grays often have good business ability and tend to work   too much.

Black: Dignified and impressive without being showy,   Black people want to give the appearance of mystery, but their   preference may also indicate a suppression of desires and worldly aims,   suggesting hidden depths and inner longings.

If you have two equally favorite colors, read the information on both to fully understand yourself and what motivates you.  Your personality color does not have to be one you wear all the time; it is usually your favorite, the color that excites you the most and makes you feel alive when you see it. That being said, you are often drawn to your personality color for clothing, home decorating and designing wristbands. It is often a predominant color in your aura.

Different Type of Silicone Wristbands – How to Pick Silicone Wristbands for your needs

Don’t get overwhelmed by the different choices available for custom rubber wristbands, and don’t let yourself choose one that isn’t perfect for you among all those options! It’s easy to figure out which wristband will serve your purposes most effectively. You can customize your wristband with wristband widths, textures, color schemes and types of text/logo incorporation.

First thing’s first: there are TWO thicknesses for silicone wristbands. The standard thickness, a little under half an inch, is the one that LiveStrong uses. These wristbands can go everywhere and anywhere with you and they can be more subtle and discreet if you’d like them to be. 1-inch silicone wristbands are also available. These are larger and make more of a statement – you might have seen 1-inch wristbands in the ‘I ❤ Boobies’ breast cancer awareness campaign. No matter which thickness you prefer, we offer many options for how to display your logo or design.

We have FOUR options for the background color scheme of your silicone wristbands. The background for your custom silicone wristband can be solid color, 3 stripes, half-and-half, marbleized, or tri-color. All these options offer you the chance to make your wristband unique and easy to recognize, even from a distance. Some bands even come with textures, like ‘golf’ or ‘tire.’ There are so many options to make your custom wristbands stand out – don’t settle for less-than-perfect.

Finally, we offer FIVE options for the actual message printed on your wristband.  Debossed wristbands feature recessed text, pressed in to the rubber of the wristband. The LiveStrong wristbands are debossed. We also offer ink-injected siliconewristbands – these resemble debossed wristbands, but they also have a contrasting color injected into the text to make it stand out. Another option for contrasting text: color-coat wristbands. These silicone wristbands actually consist of two layers, so the color on the inside of the wristband matched the text and contrasts with the color of the outside of the wristband. 

You also have the option of embossed wristbands. Unlike debossed text, embossed text stands out in relief above the rest of the wristband instead of being pressed into the band. Embossed text is a subtle touch of originality and a good way to stand out.

Finally, we offer screen printed wristbands. Screen printing allows us a high level of precision even on the narrow surface of the wristband. Unlike the other wristbands, screen printed silicone wristbands allow us to display a logo with details and fine lines, and create narrower, smaller text. 

Regardless of the type of printing you choose for your message, you can order half-inch or one-inch wristbands. We offer all the methods for both sizes and you can choose any combination of custom wristband size, color, and text.  You can get creative with different types of wristbands as well – why not get some half-inch and some one-inch custom wristbands with the same logo and color scheme? Make your company, product or event stand out by selecting the perfect choice from our wide array of options for silicone wristband customization.

Well, here’s the good news: even though everyone’s on the internet now, customers are still people. People respond better to some things than to other things – most importantly, they respond to personalized, tangible advertising. They might surf the web for hours every day, but that simply doesn’t mean that your customers will respond best to that type of advertising. They still like to go out into the word, interact with co-workers and friends and learn about products that way. 

There’s no better way to advertise than to make your advertisement into something wearable. Custom rubber wristbands are a quick, easy, and wearable advertisement that attracts attention and makes people ask questions. “What does your wristband stand for?” a friend might ask another friend. “Well,” the first friend might say, “there’s this great restaurant a few blocks away from my house…” and voila! Your customer is doing your advertising for you. You’ve now created a fun, wearable advertising campaign that speaks for itself. 

Let’s get down to the nitty-gritty. Rubber wristbands are ideal for advertising campaign for two reasons: fist, they are an easy way for you to engage personally with your customers (and potential customers). Second, they’re the best way to promote brand loyalty and make people who are loyal to your brand advertise it to their friends and family members.

Rubber wristbands make it easy to create a personal moment between you and your customer – think about it; when you sell someone a wristband, you’re giving it to him or her with your hands. You’re not tracking clicks on a website or competing for their attention on YouTube. In that moment, you have the other person’s full attention – you can hand them the wristband and talk honestly about your product. Even better, if you get two or three custom rubber wristband designs, you can engage with the customer by letting him or her choose his favorite design. This works for customers of all ages and helps you to create a personal relationship with them.

Second, your brand name and slogan can be debossed, laser-cut or molded into your wristbands. Imagine: your customer puts on a wristband on his left wrist, where he keeps his athletic watch. Every time he checks the time or uses the stopwatch feature, he’ll see your brand name, logo, slogan and color scheme. More importantly, when someone asks your customer about his wristband, there’s no way he’ll say “Oh, yeah, I got this from this auto insurance company but I forget what it was called.” The name is right there on the wristband! Rubber wristbands are a great way to keep and increase brand loyalty as well as personal customer relationships.

Different Type of Silicone Wristbands – How to Pick the One for your needs

Don’t get overwhelmed by the different choices available for custom rubber wristbands, and don’t let yourself choose one that isn’t perfect for you among all those options! It’s easy to figure out which wristband will serve your purposes most effectively. You can customize your wristband with wristband widths, textures, color schemes and types of text/logo incorporation.

First thing’s first: there are TWO thicknesses for silicone wristbands. The standard thickness, a little under half an inch, is the one that LiveStrong uses. These wristbands can go everywhere and anywhere with you and they can be more subtle and discreet if you’d like them to be. 1-inch silicone wristbands are also available. These are larger and make more of a statement – you might have seen 1-inch wristbands in the ‘I ❤ Boobies’ breast cancer awareness campaign. No matter which thickness you prefer, we offer many options for how to display your logo or design.

We have FOUR options for the background color scheme of your silicone wristbands. The background for your custom silicone wristband can be solid color, 3 stripes, half-and-half, marbleized, or tri-color. All these options offer you the chance to make your wristband unique and easy to recognize, even from a distance. Some bands even come with textures, like ‘golf’ or ‘tire.’ There are so many options to make your custom wristbands stand out – don’t settle for less-than-perfect.

Finally, we offer FIVE options for the actual message printed on your wristband.  Debossed wristbands feature recessed text, pressed in to the rubber of the wristband. The LiveStrong wristbands are debossed. We also offer ink-injected silicone wristbands – these resemble debossed wristbands, but they also have a contrasting color injected into the text to make it stand out. Another option for contrasting text: color-coat wristbands. These silicone wristbands actually consist of two layers, so the color on the inside of the wristband matched the text and contrasts with the color of the outside of the wristband. 

You also have the option of embossed wristbands. Unlike debossed text, embossed text stands out in relief above the rest of the wristband instead of being pressed into the band. Embossed text is a subtle touch of originality and a good way to stand out.

Finally, we offer screen printed wristbands. Screen printing allows us a high level of precision even on the narrow surface of the wristband. Unlike the other wristbands, screen printed silicone wristbands allow us to display a logo with details and fine lines, and create narrower, smaller text. 

Regardless of the type of printing you choose for your message, you can order half-inch or one-inch wristbands. We offer all the methods for both sizes and you can choose any combination of custom wristband size, color, and text.  You can get creative with different types of wristbands as well – why not get some half-inch and some one-inch custom wristbands with the same logo and color scheme? Make your company, product or event stand out by selecting the perfect choice from our wide array of options for silicone wristband customization.

Safe Driving Campaign with Rubber Wristbands

Rubber wristbands featuring an anti-drink-driving message were issued to officers during recent road policing training sessions at police national headquarters in Wellington.

The black bands have the words “Stop a mate driving drunk, bloody legend” and “ghost chips” printed on them.

The police are giving them out to the public and many officers have decided to wear them, too.
National road policing bosses adopted the wristband idea after similar ones were made to promote the Safer Communities Together campaign.

In 2009, Auckland police dog handler Sergeant Guy Baldwin became an internet sensation with a memorable appearance on the crime-stopping show Police Ten 7.
While Mr Baldwin spoke with a suspected car thief, the conversation shifted to buying pies from the local service station.

“At three o’clock in the morning, you’re buying a pie from the BP station.
What must you always do?” he asked.

“You must always blow on the pie. Safer communities together.”

Those words of caution went viral and even ended up on the front of T-shirts. Police also decided to use the slogan, printing it on wristbands.

Following the success of a New Zealand Transport Authority television advertisement in which the ghost of a teenager who died driving drunk offers his haunted friend a chip, another batch of wristbands was whipped up.

The idea for the latest wristbands came from Lesley Wallis, national road policing communications manager.
She said they were a very low-cost and low-key way to support the advertising campaign.

“They are intended for police to give to the public when they are talking to young people in schools, expos, community engagement opportunities etc,” Ms Wallis said. “They have proved to be hugely popular. Some police officers wear them, too.”

Ms Wallis said the wristbands were no longer being made and there were no plans for more.

“The advertising campaign that these wristbands support was hugely successful and resonated with the young people we were trying to reach. The wristbands are a simple way of extending that reach a little bit further.”
