This is a perfect bulletin board for any student in any school! Such a great message to spread a positive acts of kindness!
How can you use this board with your students?
- Have a group discussion to brainstorm ways to spread a positive message to others throughout the day.
- Assign a homework assignment in which students are asked to do something nice for another outside of the school day.
- Challenge students to see how many “nice points” they can get throughout the week – and beat those points the following week.
Paying It Forward Front and Center
Materials Needed:
- White bulletin board background paper: Basic white sets the tone for the neon colors to stand out.
- Neon Copy Paper: Easy to cut into triangles with any straight cut.
- Black Copy Paper: Use for more triangles to subdue the neon base.
- Black Wide Tipped Marker: Free hand for the best writing sample.
Steps to Set Up:
- Begin by adding the white bulletin paper background to the board.
- Then, add your words using a pencil lightly first in the middle of the board. Once your lettering is the way you like it, use the wide tipped black marker to go over them.
- Next, cut out triangles of various sizes from the neon and black paper using scissors or a paper cutter.
- Staple the triangles all around the top and down the sides of your lettering to look like confetti.
Reminding children to regularly participate in random acts of kindness is always a good thing.
Just passing by the bulletin board often, the message will be repeated to them over and over again, hopefully impressing choosing the right thing to do.
