A fun movie reference helps students to remember the message: Never forget how much exciting journeys are within the covers of books right at your fingertips!

From the creator:

“I used Pacon printed bulletin board paper and a matching boarder.

I found a coloring sheet of the house from Up! and colored to match the movie.

I purchased balloon cut outs.

The genres were printed on clear, full page labels and placed on balloons before laminating.

I used silver ribbon for the strings.

I selected a font and printed on cardstock, laminated, and cut out.”

How can you use this board with your students?

• This could be an interactive board where you ask students to help you come up with as many different categories of books as possible to add to the board.
• Another option would be to do a scavenger hunt: Create the balloons ahead of time and hand out one to each student and ask them to come back with a book that matches their balloon category.
• You could also make an anchor chart that explains the different book genres too.

Steps to Set Up:

1. Cover your entire board with a background of your choice: sky, clouds, blue, or even white.
2. Then, add your bulletin board border around the outside edge.
3. Next, add your title “Adventure is Out There” to the bottom left of the board.
4. Add your house to the bottom right corner.
5. Above the house, place your balloons in a random color order.
6. Finally, add in some string from the balloons to the house chimney.

Talking about literary book genres could really open up a whole world of new learning interest for students who didn’t know they existed before.
