It's always great when resources in your classroom can be used in more than one way. Here are a few ways to use the banner pieces in my new Sweetly Spooky classroom banner for other activities.
Have your banner in a position where students can clip the pieces on and off (great for fine motor) and incorporate the pieces into your learning activities, brain breaks and overall program.
Other ways to use classroom banner pieces
- door and wall display accents
- on a word wall along with word cards to help teach spelling or voculary
- bulletin board pictures
- tape to a pencil or stick for puppet play
- laminate and add to a basket at a writing center - students can play with them and create a story to write
- use them in language and math warm ups and transitions
Math Warm Up Idea - Halloween Line Up
- as well as math this is a language and listening game perfect for transition times and brain breaks
- have your banner positioned so students can clip the pictures on and off
- review ordinal language
- give a selected student an instruction to follow - e.g. get the 4th picture, find the 8th picture, get the last picture, get the picture 3rd from the end
- students follow the instruction, get the picture and bring it to add to a collection
- pause the game and review the pictures left on the line and their new position (e.g. the owl was second and is now first)
- encourage lots of ordinal and positional math talk and listening
