For Homeschoolers

Some breakthroughs happen at the kitchen table

No school bell. No assembly. Still plenty to celebrate. Turn their home-learning wins into personalised certificates

1/3 - The sticking point

One line of handwriting. A whole lot of progress

A sentence written independently. A tricky word read without help. Something that finally clicks after several different approaches. You’ve seen the work behind that moment.

2/3 - The head scratch

You’d quite like to bottle that grin

You’ve seen the frustration, the fresh starts and the moment it clicks. You want to give them something to keep, but lunch needs making and designing a certificate wasn’t on today’s list.

3/3 - The lightbulb moment

Give that grin a place on the fridge

Choose a celebration, add their name and personalise their certificate. In around five minutes, it’s ready to print. They can choose the magnet.

Progress doesn’t follow one timetable

Perseverance

Recognise the effort, the extra practice and having another go.

Independence

Celebrate doing it themselves, making choices and taking the next step.

Discoveries

Celebrate new skills, bright ideas and those “I get it!” moments.

One or thirty. Make it personal

Celebrate a little star. Or the whole class.

315 reasons to celebrate

Celebrate learning, independence and everything in between.

Plenty of ways to make it theirs

Make their certificate feel as individual as their achievement.

5 minutes to make their day

Less time making certificates. More time learning together.

From “I did it!” to “Look what I got!”

A few things you might be wondering.

Can I use Whoopido if I’m home educating one child?

Yes. You can make a single personalised certificate whenever there’s something worth marking, even halfway through a Tuesday at the kitchen table. Choose the achievement, add your child’s name and tell them what you noticed.

Which subjects can we use alongside our home learning?

Whoopido includes 12 core subjects, each with 27 award options, giving you 324 subject awards to choose from. Pick the one that fits what you’re exploring, whether that’s fractions while baking, geography on a walk or an experiment that finally worked.

Can I recognise progress that doesn’t fit neatly into a subject?

Yes. The five home categories offer another 80 award options for things like independence, kindness, hobbies and trying something new. They’re especially handy on days when the biggest breakthrough is your child saying, “I’ll have a go.”

Can I make awards for children of different ages working on the same project?

Yes. Add their names and choose Personalise each to recognise what each child contributed. After a nature walk, one child might earn a certificate for recording their observations while another earns one for reading the map.

Can we use Star of the Week at home?

Yes. There are 15 Star of the Week award categories, and each is also available as a Colour Me In certificate. You could finish the week by reading the message together and letting your child colour their award for their learning folder.

Can I print a smaller certificate for our learning journal?

Yes. Each certificate is supplied as a print-ready, 300 dpi A4 PDF. To make an A5 copy for a journal or folder, select A5 as your paper size and choose Fit to page before printing.

Do we need a colour printer?

No. Full colour brings out the artwork best, but you can print any certificate in black and white. The Colour Me In Star of the Week designs are a good choice if adding the colour is part of the activity.

Can we open the PDF without Adobe Acrobat Reader?

Yes. You can open your certificate in your device’s usual PDF viewer, including Preview on a Mac. Adobe Acrobat Reader is a free option if you need one. Download Adobe Acrobat Reader

Can our tutor or home-education group use Whoopido too?

Yes. You can download and use Whoopido whether you’re a parent, tutor, co-op organiser or someone helping with a shared activity. Give everyone the same award for a group project, or personalise each certificate to recognise their individual contribution.
