Use this activity to help your students get to know one another at the start of the year.
Easy Back-to-School Bulletin Board Idea
With this back-to-school bulletin board idea, you get a first-day-of-school activity too! Students complete their very own piece of the game screen. This is a great activity on the first day of school as an icebreaker that also fills up the classroom walls. By the first parent event, you’ll have some unique classroom decor that will spark nostalgia in parents and make your grade-level team jealous!
Once each student has completed their segment, display them together on a bulletin board, window, or door — a simple yet effective classroom decoration that the students have created themselves and will be eager to show off.
Thanks to K-6 teacher Kristen, who created this ‘all about me’ classroom display with her students. As she said, “The kids love creating it and it brings a splash of colour to our classroom!”
