Title of Bulletin Board: Exercise makes you Bright

Category: Holiday-Christmas/Winter

Suggested Grade Level: k-5

Materials: bulletin board paper, construction paper, card stock, yarn and staples

Description:

This bulletin board is located in the hallway right outside the gym. It was put up in December. Large light bulbs made out of construction paper, in a variety of colors, are displayed throughout the board. Yarn connects the bulbs to represent a string of lights. On each bulb an 'exercise' message is written. The messages are....
Exercise is a way to make new friends; exercise makes your heart and lungs stronger; exercise reduces risk for illnesses; exercise gives you more energy; exercise reduces stress levels; exercise helps you sleep better; exercise helps you stay focused and pay attention; exercise improves your ability to learn; exercise burns calories; exercise makes muscles stronger and more flexible; exercise improves bone strength; exercise helps you maintain a healthy weight and exercise lowers blood pressure.

The colorful bulbs really "shined" with the black background. Next time I might try to incorporate a "plug" of some sort with a message.
