Magnetic Homework Interactive Monopoly Board

I made this board on a thick poster/display board and mounted it to my bulletin board. The black lines are actually magnets hot glued onto the board. The students would get to play this game every time they turned in both their pages of homework. They had their pictures on magnets that connected to the board. I had a large dice that they would roll and move their game pieces. The free parking spot actually says free homework and they could use the pass the next day for one piece of free homework. We also had classroom money and they received $2. every time they passed go. This game was super fun for them and most of the homework was turned in on time:)!

Interactive Clue Writing Process board

I love the game clue and this writing board was so fun to make. It is basically a full size Clue board fastened on to one of my bulletin boards. The little squares are made from scanned on clue game pieces then laminated. Then I glued them onto cardboard (to give depth-to be able to clip the clips on) The students each had their own clothes pin with their name on it. The headings include: 1. Prewriting, 2. Writing, 3. Editing and 4. Publishing, The students would start on Prewriting and when they were finished with that step they would move their clip to writing, etc. I would help them with the editing stage.

Twister Book Shelf

I needed to add some color to my library so I wrapped it in a Twister game. It turned out cute and made the library more inviting for the kiddos.

Would you Rather..

This is my attendance board. All the kids had their names on magnets and they would start the day on the absent section. Then when they came in they would move their magnets to either slot depending on which item they liked best. I changed the questions everyday and it gave me an opportunity to learn more about my students. I let the students come up with the questions too. This is actually a large magnetic board. I separated the sections by hot gluing a black ribbon to the board to provide sections. Then I glued on the heading and the letters. The kids loved this board! Sometimes I wondered if they came to school just so they could answer the questions!

Classroom retro gamebord decorations

I love to decorate my classrooms. Each year I try to do something different. My first year of teaching I decorated in a game board theme. I had so much fun recycling old games with missing pieces and just bringing the nostalgic items back to life.

This is a picture of my 4^th grade classroom. It is decorated in a retro game board theme. I made the curtains to resemble a Monopoly board. I had 8 windows. I used multi-color fabric and fabric paint.

My classroom is in an older building and the windows were cracked so I wanted to brighten up the room and make it look newer. My dad made the little desk plate holders out of recycled deck wood then we stained them. I just used one per set of 2 desks and slipped a laminated plastic name tag in each side to make them nice and sturdy.
