This adorable nautical themed bulletin board is wonderful for sharing verses with students and reminding them how important character traits are to their lives.

“The center anchor was hand-painted by a friend. Everything else was purchased for a nautical-theme classroom. My son went to USNA, so the Plebe cover was his, and I take my students’ pictures wearing the cover.”

How can you use this board with your students?

• Brainstorm a list of favorite Bible verses and make an anchor chart of their favorites.
• Discuss this particular verse and its meaning.
• Give students hypothetical situations and talk about how this particular verse might be useful when dealing with difficult scenarios.

Floating Hope Everywhere You Go

Materials Needed:

• Light blue bulletin board paper:  Use as the basis of your board.

• Large anchor cut out or print:  A wonderful centerpiece to tie the message together on the bulletin board.

• Chevron lettering:  To create your title verse.

• Life preserver cut outs:  Add student names next to their pictures.

• Nautical themed bulletin board border:  Anything red, white, and blue themed will look perfect.

Steps to Set Up:

1. Begin by placing the light blue background on your empty board.
2. Next, add the bulletin board border around the edges.
3. Place your large anchor in the middle of the board.
4. Add your title above the anchor in the center.
5. Take pictures of each student and print out on a printer (or have developed at a local store).  Write students’ names on an anchor and staple the anchor next to the corresponding picture evenly around the board.

A great example of a bulletin board that works for older children too!  No “baby” themes for them.
