Have you ever used a bulletin board border to make a game board? This is one idea I have shared with teachers
in my workshops for a long time.
One of my favorite things to do is to brainstorm ideas for
activities for teachers to use in the classroom. I
will be posting new ideas as often as I can.
Please let me know if you are looking for a creative idea to teach
something.
Materials
Needed: a strip of bulletin board border with pictures
on it, such as fish, stars, bugs, etc., glue, and a piece of 12 x 18
construction paper.
Directions: Cut the bulletin board border
so that each section has a fish, a star, or a bug. Glue them down on the construction paper to
look like a maze. Draw lines between
each picture going from left to right on the game board. Write the word START at the beginning and the
word FINISH at the end. Students will
answer questions from flash cards to move their marker one picture at a time.
You could also glue the pictures on the construction paper
to be a Cover All where students answer a flash card question and put their
color of game marker on the board on any of the pictures when they get the
answer correct. The student who has the
most pictures covered at the end of the game wins. In this case there would be no lines between
the pictures.
I like generic games because I can use them with any grade
or skill.
Have fun creating game boards with your old bulletin board
borders.
