- Getting students excited about returning to school is the goal of a back-to-school theme on a bulletin board. Back to school themes can include photos of each student or other crafts that the students create on the first day of school. A back to school bulletin board can also be designed around the idea of a movie shoot with "Lights, Camera, Action!" written across it.
- Patriotism bulletin boards are good for the times of the year around Veteran's Day or Memorial Day. A bulletin board with a patriotism theme can include flags and red, white and blue colors. They can also include pictures of the Presidents and can be used as a learning aid when you are learning about the government.
- During the last semester of the year, teachers may choose to decorate their bulletin board in a spring theme. A spring bulletin board can go in many directions. Flowers, rain, and baby animals are all synonymous with spring. Religious schools can focus on an Easter theme. Incorporating reading into the bulletin board during spring can include phrases like "Spring in to Reading" or "Hop into Spring with a good Book."
- Winter-themed bulletin boards generally focus on snow or Christmas. Bulletin boards that use snow can include snowmen or evergreen trees covered in snow. Have children make snowflakes from tissue paper and place them on the bulletin board to display their crafts. You can also track student's reading progress by allowing them to place a snowball on the board each day they read.
- After taking down the back to school theme, teachers may choose to put up a fall-themed bulletin board. Fall themes can include apples, pumpkins, gourds, and falling leaves. A fall bulletin board could also include Thanksgiving items. The phrase "Fall into Good Habits" can be used to emphasize healthy eating, exercise, reading or other important activities.
