Title of Bulletin Board: Be A Good Sport

Category: Sportsmanship

Suggested Grade Level: 3-5

Materials: Construction paper

Description:

This bulletin board was created to remind students of how to show good sportsmanship. I drew pictures of kids, some wearing sport uniforms and others in street clothes. Each is "saying" something to suggest how to show good sportsmanship. The title reads, "These kids know about good sports conduct. Follow their advice when you play games and sports!"

The suggestions are:

-"I won't call other players bad names. If I can't say something positive to them, I won't make any comment."
-"Hey, have some fun and stop worrying about the score!"
-"I'll encourage other people and will help them with skills instead of criticizing them."
-"If my team loses, I won't blame my teammates for the loss."
-"I'll play by the rules. Ya know, like, don't cheat."
-"I won't be a ball hog. I'll let other players have a turn."
-"I won't make fun of other people's abilities."
-"I'll accept the calls of the referee, even if I don't agree."
-"If my team wins, I won't brag. It's no fun to be reminded of losing."
-"I'll play safely and I'll try not to hurt any other players."
