Camping themes for bulletin boards can be fun and creative.
Every fall, after a long summer of freedom and fun, children return to school. Something every elementary school teacher works hard on is an eye-catching, creative back-to-school bulletin board to welcome the children back. There are so many different ideas for bulletin boards, most that can have an entire classroom theme that revolves around them, that it is often hard to choose. One theme that can spark lots of creativity is a camping theme.
What I Did This Summer
A nice, easy bulletin board with a camping theme is to decorate the board with a nice colored background paper, such as green or brown. Staple a border around the edges that features tents or summer fun. Give each child a blank, colored tent and have them write, in a sentence or two, what their favorite summer activity was. Staple all of the tents, at random, onto the bulletin board.
Camping Tales
A nice back-to-school writing project could be to make a bulletin board with a camping theme. Staple some colored background paper and a camping-themed border. Put an appropriately sized tent in the middle with a campfire and maybe even a canoe. Give each child a piece of paper with a story starter on it about their perfect camping trip. Have the children write their stories and display them on the board.
Toasted Marshmallows
Toasting marshmallows over a campfire is a traditional part of camping.
Make a bulletin board with a colored background and a fun camping border. In the middle, make a campfire and some children sitting around it roasting marshmallows out of construction paper. Cut out a bunch of marshmallows from white construction paper. On the first day take each child's picture, after you get parental permission, and glue them to the marshmallows. Let the children decorate their marshmallows, then staple them up onto the bulletin board.
Camping Theme
If having a whole room theme is more appealing, then make a camping themed bulletin board. Have a reading area set up that looks like a campfire area. Include a tent in the corner and fill it with bean bags or comfy chairs for children to use during silent reading. Come up with multiple camping-themed activities in each different subject that goes along with the theme.
