Fun Ideas For The Classroom Bulletin Board

Who said the classroom bulletin board should only be educational and informative? Why can’t it be fun? Of course it can. With the student’s negative attitudes towards education increasing, it’s very difficult for the class room teachers to keep their students attentive. So the teachers of today should come up with new ideas to keep the students’ minds in the classroom. As a result some teachers have taken great measures to convert the usual classroom into an education friendly environment, where as some start with a simple change in the class bulletin board. Here are some such innovations done by secondary school teachers for this matter

Wall of happiness
School can be a very frightening place to any student. Homework, afterschool practices, tests, detention, friends and bullying can give creeps to some students. As a remedy to all these, the class teacher asks them to write one thing they can be happy of the most in a small piece of paper and pin it on the class pinboards. This psychologically proven method, builds confidence and joy within the student every time he or she reads it. Involuntarily the student will build up a positive attitude towards the classroom enabling the teacher to easily proceed with the lesson.

Thought of the day board
As in this inventive idea, the teacher appoints a student each day to paste a flier with a quote which was inspirational or helped change the way he thought, on the pinboards in the class. Within a month or so the board would be filled with inspirational quotes, again uplifting the student’s attitudes who reads them

A Homely classroom
Interpersonal relationships within the family members apart from school are a crucial factor in a child’s development. Taking this into consideration, the classroom teacher reserves a space in the wall for the family photos of the students. This way, students will not only see their family in the class, but also their colleague’s. Usually, the photos are brought by the students of their choice and could paste any amount they want, also see this magnetic glass board. 

‘When you grow up’ board
The “when you grow up board” includes the aspirations and ambitions of all the students in the class room and it’s hung in a place that everybody can see. This method motivates the student to work hard in order to achieve the target on their ‘When you grow up” board.

Simple things can do a lot of change. The original yet simple ideas of these teachers to change the class room environment are applause worthy.
