Unique May Bulletin Board Ideas for Elementary Schools

Try creating unique May bulletin board ideas with your elementary school students for a fun and festive month. These one of a kind themes will make your students enjoy this project. This article will discuss several unique May bulletin board projects that are perfect for elementary school.

Lost Sock Memorial Day

A fun and funny May holiday perfect for elementary school kids is a Lost Sock Memorial Day themed bulletin board. This holiday is on May 9^th, and kids will get a kick out of this idea. For this project you will need blue butcher paper, yarn, pushpins, construction paper, markers, scissors, clothespins, and crayons.

Start by giving students markers, crayons, scissors, and paper. Help them draw a sock shape on the paper and cut it out. Then let students design the sock however they like. Just remind them to write their name boldly on part of the sock.

While the students work on their part, you can cover the bulletin board with the blue paper. Then cut three pieces of yarn long enough to reach both ends of the bulletin board. Tie a knot in each end of the yarn pieces. Use the pushpins to secure the yarn to the board horizontally. This will give you the look of three clotheslines. Then allow students to add their completed sock to the line using the clothespin. You may have to tighten the line to keep it upright.

Be a Millionaire Day

On the 20^th of May, Be a Millionaire Day is celebrated, and this unique holiday is a fun way for kids to explore their fantasies. For this bulletin board you can use any color butcher paper. You will also need construction paper, loose leaf, marker, pencils, and crayons. Let the kids think about what they would do with a million dollars.

Then help them describe it in a few sentences on the loose leaf. Also let kids draw a picture symbolizing their thoughts. Then add the pictures and paragraphs to the bulletin board for a unique theme. For more fun add some fake money to the borders and empty spots of the bulletin board. You can also add rhinestones and other things that are reminiscent to money like gold coins.

These unique bulletin board ideas are fun for elementary school kids and teachers. If you choose these themes, you will have a fun and one of a kind project for your students.
