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 Meet the Teacher Night, 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.

Prepare This Back-to-School Resource

This resource was designed in black and white for easy printing. You may print on colored paper or, alternatively, stick with white paper and have students color it themselves.

Display your grade, score (number of students in the class), and the teacher’s name for everyone to see.
