March Bulletin Board Ideas
St Patrick's Bulletin Board Ideas
To create a St. Patrick's Day bulletin board worth its weight in gold, you won't have to rely on any luck since the holiday comes with so many inspirational and recognizable symbols including: leprechauns, shamrocks, rainbows, pots of gold, and more, all of which can be used to create very inspiring bullet board ideas.
Rainbow Bulletin Board Displays
A rainbow display perfectly fits into the St Patrick's Day theme. There are several ways of creating beautiful rainbows on your board. You may want to consider creating a large rainbow that covers the whole board with gold coins at the end, having each student make rainbows of particular sizes, thus having a whole collection of rainbow displays, or lastly, having each child trace their hands on paper and color each hand with a rainbow color.
Leprechaun Faces
This bulletin board idea puts the students in the spotlight simply by featuring a photograph of every student's face. It involves the following steps:
- Cut out leprechaun hats from green papers or hat templates that they finger-paint in green.
- Illustrate to the students how to twist strips of orange paper around a pencil, which makes them curl.
- Cut around each child's face to remove the background in the photograph and then glue the hats to the top of their heads.
- Glue curled orange paper strips to the bottom to create leprechaun beards.
- Finally, hang all the pictures on the board.
Pot of Gold
A simple classroom bulletin board that involves cutting out a large pot from a black piece of paper and then cutting out small pieces of gold from yellow papers then attaching them to the black pot.
Lucky Shamrocks
This activity is great for helping kids focus on all of the positive people and things in their lives and just how lucky they are. Have them think of those things and then draw the images of them, or they can opt to cut images of those things out of magazines and comic books, then staple or glue them to the board.
Spring Bulletin Board Ideas
They say April flowers bring May flowers, but in school, they also bring a lot of joy to the students as they draw closer and closer to summer break! Below are some of the best spring ideas that will help decorate the classroom and keep the kids engaged in learning until the last day of school.
Leaving Winter Behind
Spring bulletin boards with bunnies and pinwheels will certainly draw the attention of your students! This idea begins with drawing clouds at the top of the board and writing the words "We're leaving winter" on top of them; the next step involves drawing bunnies on paper and then cutting them neatly out. You finalize it by making real working pinwheels by taking a square paper and folding it from corner to corner, then unfolding it. After that, make a pencil mark about 1/3 of the way from the center and then cut along the fold lines stopping at the pencil mark. Bring the other opposite points into the center and stick a pin through all four points, thus making the head of the pin hub of the pinwheel. Attach the wheels just under the clouds and then the bunnies below them.
Enjoy the Showers and Flowers
Spring is simply a time of hope and bright colors! The first inspiration of spring is seeing the flowers bloom and fill the world with beauty. Lead your students using watercolors or crayons to decorate umbrellas, then ensure you hang them over paper raincoats that feature your students' names. The ground should be made up of blossoming brightly colored spring flowers made by the teacher using a ribbon and staple. This board will feature names in the form of raindrops falling from the clouds onto the 3D flowers.
Butterflies On A Balloon Tree.
This cute spring board idea was developed by a lady known as Katarina, and it's one of the most loved and splendid ideas we've seen. It involves tying a bunch of green balloons to a board and then decorating the board with cut-out paper butterflies which gives a nice spring feel.
Marching Into Spring
The marching into spring board shows the transition from winter into spring. If you want to make your classroom bulletin fun, you'll never go wrong with the marching into spring idea. Ensure that the first half of the board portrays snowflakes falling on snow, with the second showing raindrops falling on the grass. The bees matching from the first half to the second portrays the next month's love. To make this board, one requires green, brown, white, and blue paper, a border trim, and a brown marker for drawing details on the bees.
Dr. Seuss' Birthday Bulletin Board Ideas
Based on his legacy of writing children's books which inspired the young generation, the National Education Association chose Dr. Seuss' birthday to celebrate reading across America.
The way the book collections by Dr. Seuss takes real words and rhymes them with non-real words (nonsense words) makes them fun for any age group. You can opt to put up a board in the school hallway and encourage students to cut out Seuss's most outstanding quotes or simply some of his posters. You can also encourage the students to personalize the board by including pictures, handprints, and footprints, then attached to the board.
One of the most outstanding ideas by Dr. Seuss includes We Speak for the Trees. The Lorax is a favorite of many kids. It's widely loved because it encourages early science exploration among the young generation and makes them mindful of the planet. Create your Seuss board with these easy print words by displaying them on the board in the form of a poster or cut-out from a magazine.
Another popular one is How Many Feet You Meet! Kids love silly, right? Then obviously, they would love the silly look of their painted and labeled feet on the classroom board. This board will be more meaningful if each student adds a favorite word or quote from Dr. Seuss' collection.
