Bible Bulletin Board Tips and Tricks in the Classroom
Hey there, fellow teachers! Whether you’re stepping into your classroom for the first time or you’ve been at this for a long time, you know the feeling of standing in front of a blank bulletin board wondering what to do with it. Let’s fix that!
Today I’m sharing some of my favorite Bible bulletin board tips and tricks plus a couple of resources that will make your setup easier and your classroom walls more meaningful. These are great options for saving time while still making a big impact on student learning.
Bible Bulletin Boards for Busy Teachers
As teachers, we’re always juggling a million things. Sometimes putting together a bulletin board just feels like one more thing on the list. That’s exactly why I created these Bible bulletin board kits, to give you a simple way to make your classroom look amazing and support your teaching goals without spending hours on research and design.
Whether you’re looking for a fun way to display, review, or reinforce lessons from Scripture, these boards can do it all. They’re designed to be ready-to-go and flexible for whatever your class needs.
Something Unique and Time Saving
What makes these bulletin boards different? They’re not just decorations. They’re tools. I’ve designed each one to serve a dual purpose: to brighten your space and reinforce your teaching goals. The scrolls on the Letters of Paul board, for example, double as mini anchor charts. The David and Goliath board isn’t just colorful, it invites students to reflect and respond.
And here’s the best part: these boards can be prepped quickly. No complicated layering or last-minute trips to the store. Just print, cut, assemble, and hang. It’s a great way to bring your room to life without draining your time or energy. You can effortlessly transform your classroom into an inviting and interactive learning environment.
These kits are thoughtfully designed with vibrant illustrations and relevant content that aligns with your teaching goals. With the time saved from not having to create bulletin boards from scratch, you can invest that extra time in researching and preparing thought-provoking lessons, facilitating meaningful discussions, or planning interactive activities that deepen your students’ understanding of the Bible. Your energy can be directed towards building knowledge, providing guidance, and fostering a love for God’s Word among your students.
David and Goliath Bulletin Board
Let’s start with a classic, David and Goliath. This is such a powerful story that shows students the strength that comes from faith in God. The bulletin board captures that message with bold visuals and engaging content.
You can make your classroom bulletin board interactive by adding sticky notes where students can write about a time they had to be brave or trust in God. Try adding a QR code that links to a short video or song about David and Goliath for a modern twist. This is a great way to bring the story to life beyond the lesson.
To make your display stand out, use butcher paper or wrapping paper for the background and layer on some tissue paper for texture. Choose a color scheme that works with your classroom theme, and don’t forget a bulletin board border to give it a polished look.
Letters of Paul Bulletin Board
Another favorite is the Letters of Paul Bulletin Board. It’s a great resource for introducing students to Paul’s teachings and giving them a simple overview of each book.
This board includes 13 scrolls, each with a key verse and summary. It’s perfect for older students or for use as a word wall. You can even make it interactive by letting students post their favorite verse or letter with sticky notes or push pins.
Looking for a hands-on option? The Letters to Christians Interactive Bible Bulletin Board is a great companion, giving students a chance to match letters with their main themes.
Tips and Tricks for Stunning Classroom Bulletin Boards
Here are some practical tips to help you get the most out of your bulletin board space in any classroom, whether it’s the beginning of a new study or you are just ready for a fresh new look.
Start with a purpose
Think about what you want your board to do. Are you displaying student work? Reviewing vocabulary words? Creating a suggestion board? Knowing your goal will help everything else fall into place.
Make it interactive
One of the best ways to get students engaged is to invite them to participate. Use sticky notes, flaps, QR codes, or even anchor charts to turn your display into something students interact with, not just something to look at.
Get creative with materials
Your local stores and dollar stores are great places to find affordable supplies. Wrapping paper, art supplies, felt, and art paper rolls make awesome backgrounds. I also share affiliate links sometimes, so if you shop through those, I may earn a small commission. Thank you for supporting!
Play with texture and layers
Use tissue paper, washi tape, or even gemstone-themed accessories to add dimension. Silicone gel molds or small craft items can add fun 3D touches for extra visual appeal.
Don’t forget the letters
Bulletin board letters in different colors or large sizes can totally change the look of your display. They’re perfect for adding a pop of color and drawing attention to key words or phrases.
Involve your students
Your students are your team members. Let them help with decorating, add vocabulary words to a word wall, or post reflections. Giving them ownership makes the board more meaningful and fun.
Think outside the board
Bulletin boards don’t have to be limited to one wall. Try decorating your classroom door or use part of your wall space for a rotating display. These are great places to showcase best work or share important information in a new way.
Simplify Your Workload and Maximize Your Impact
Remember, as teachers, our ultimate goal is to nurture the hearts and minds of our students. These bulletin board products act as a support, saving you time and energy while creating an environment that encourages exploration, reflection, and engagement with the stories of God.
So, fellow teachers, let these bulletin boards be aids in simplifying your workload and maximizing your impact in the classroom. Spend less time on decoration and more time on what truly matters—bringing the stories of God to life and making a lasting difference in the lives of your students.
