Create a Fun Back-to-School Display for Your Ceiling!
We have created two easy-to-use templates to create this display, depending on how much room you have to display student work. In your download, you will find a full-page version of the template, as well as a modified version that uses less paper and takes up less space. Use this activity to create an amazing back-to-school classroom display by threading a piece of twine or yarn up through the center of the 3D lightbulb and hanging it from your ceiling.
To create your 3-D goal-setting lightbulbs, students will
- Complete the writing prompts on each light bulb template.
- Cut out the templates and fold each in half vertically.
- Open up the light bulb and glue one half of the back to one half of the back of another light bulb.
- Repeat with the other templates to complete your 3D light bulb!
- Thread string or twine up through the center of the 3D bulb and hang from your ceiling!
