Tap in to your students’ current interests and video games are always a fun integration with school!
From the creator:
“I used a die cut to punch out a thousand little yellow circles and then blue construction paper on the paper cut to make skinny lines. Stapled up the framework the decorated it.
We had the students write their name on a construction paper Pac-Man ghost (hand drawn ghost then used white circles for eyes and black sharpie) and we stapled them all over the game board.”
How can you use this board with your students?
- Have students create their own “ghost” and then set a goal for something academic. Each time they hit their goal, they can move their ghost to the next dot. See if they can get to the other side of the board by the end of the year.
- Have students create unique ghosts and ask them to compare and contrast their ghosts.
- After putting up the bulletin board, ask student groups to create their own learning game based on the topic you are currently focusing on in a specific subject.
