This feature is obviously optional. You could find a thick piece of cording, paint it, and attach it to the board to add a bit of extra color or create a border for the message using star cutouts, etc., but if you happen to have rope light, this can be attached to the board using push pins (sandwich the cord between two of them - \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003edon't puncture the light\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e) and you'll have to use black fabric to cover the bulletin board in order hide the extension cord needed to make the lights fully functional, but it's certainly well worth the effort!

You can freehand the bulletin board characters onto white card stock or construction paper and use graphic art tools to color them in, or create the characters from pieces of colored construction paper. The students who have chosen to give into the distractions of the season, find themselves \"floundering\" in the snow, while the student who has kept up with their studies waits at the top of the hill - book in hand - to sled down in a sleigh! 2) The Sleigh. You can freehand this onto red construction paper or you might be able to find a black and white clip art image online or though your word processing software and print it directly onto colored card stock. 3) The Snowman. Use construction paper to cut out and assemble a snowman to place at the bottom of the hill. 4) The Snowflakes. Create a template from card stock, using it to trace and cut snowflakes from white and gray construction paper, or find a black and white clip art image and print it directly onto colored card stock. 5) The Clouds.

Cover the entire board with light green background paper, then divide your board (across its entire length) into 18 sections of equal size, marking the spaces with small hash marks. Next, you'll need a section of darker green bulletin board paper (enough to cover half of your bulletin board). On this length of paper, measure out nine equal sections. [NOTE: Each of these nine sections should be the same size as a marked section on the bulletin board.] Use scissors to separate each strip of paper, then attach them to the board to create the striped appearance of a football field. Use a white paint pen to add the detailing - the yard lines, numbers, and hash marks.

Cut two large rectangles from black bulletin board paper. To make it seem like an authentic scoreboard, use yellow circle stickers to form the words \"Team 1\" and \"Team 2\" (or each team's name if they've been allowed to name themselves!). Since the scores will change throughout the unit\/month\/term, create removable score tiles.
