Using
Posters
Displaying
posters in your classroom not only makes the classroom
look fantastic, but is also a great learning resource.
Here are some useful ideas on how to make the most of
the posters in your classroom.
Colour
posters
Make large
blank posters for the following colours: red, blue,
green, yellow, black, orange, purple, brown and pink.
Students collect pictures or do drawings, label them
according to their colour, for example, 'A blue button'
and stick them on the appropriate posters.
Number posters
Children
produce an illustrated 'numbers' poster, illustrating
statements like:
I've got one nose.
I've got two legs.
I've got three brothers.
I've got four toy cars.
I've got five fingers.
My house is number six.
My lucky number is seven.
I am eight.
My sister is nine.
I've got ten toes.
My family tree
Children trace and colour a hand
of each member of their family. They collect and label
these pictures on a 'family tree'.
Our
town
Children make a poster about their town with postcards,
tourist brochure maps, drawings etc. Each item is labelled
or has a sentence written underneath.
Be kind
Children in groups of 3 or 4 choose
a theme such as road safety, kindness to animals, protection
of the environment etc, and produce a poster displaying
kind actions.
Animals
Make six large posters for mammals,
insects, reptiles, birds, fish, amphibians. Children
illustrate and label pictures and stick them on to the
appropriate posters.
Countries
and capitals
Children stick the names of countries
and capital cities they know on to a large world map.
If they can also find pictures, these can be displayed
around the map and linked to the place by wool.
Things with wings
Make a class poster illustrating
things with wings - butterfly, ladybird, bee, parrot,
owl, plane, angel, plane, etc.
