Beating the Bulletin Board Blues 2: Make 'Em POP!

This teacher has loads of great ideas for making your bulletin boards really stand out!

Welcome back to another Bright Ideas Blog Hop!


Last month I shared some time-saving tips for hanging 
and storing your back to school bulletin boards in 

This time I'm back for part 2 with some fun ideas for making them POP!

Fancy up your boards with butcher paper! It's bright, 
 easy to work with, and readily available!

There are so many fun fonts out there its hard to choose 
which ones to use!  Don't be limited to the lettering you can buy 
at the teacher store.  Customize your boards with your favorite fonts
 in the colors you need.  No more running out of certain letters or having to 
work around pre-made lettering that is too big or too small!

Your local party aisle has a treasure trove of resources for making 
your boards POP! They're inexpensive, easy to use, and best of all 
easy to store!  The possibilities are endless for what you can do with 
tissue paper, balloons, ribbon, and paper plates!

It is pure kid-joy for my students to get their pictures taken! 
They absolutely love seeing themselves in our displays and showing 
their friends is an added bonus!


It's not always evident how you got your students to where they are now.  
There's a whole lot of teaching that goes into each and every
project your students create. Share that process by including prewriting, 
graphic organizers, notes or journal entries in your bulletin board displays!

I hope you found some tips and ideas you can use in your classroom!

  1. Linda, are you sure you're not a graphic designer disguised as a teacher? (Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if you were in a former job.) Your tips are so helpful and the way you present them makes me want to go get started right away!
