Perfect for adding some fun patterns and colors to your classroom this December, this Christmas light themed bulletin board idea is simple to create (so it won't add a lot of stress to your already busy holiday schedule!) and offers a nice way to recognize your students who liven up your classroom!

[NOTE: While the example includes Christmas light accents on which to write student names, you might also consider using this as a way to display student work. Simply mount papers/projects to colorful construction paper or patterned scrapbook paper creating borders and use smaller light bulb cutouts to label each project!

Bright Students LIGHT UP Our Classroom!

• Background: Green bulletin board paper.
• Title: "Bright Students LIGHT UP Our Classroom!"
• Border: Christmas themed trimmer or complimentary patterned border.
• Decoration: Cut Christmas light accents from assorted colors of construction paper (or even patterned scrapbook paper!), printing a student's name onto each cutout, and arranging them around your board. While the digital design above does not show this option, you might consider using a black permanent marker to draw a long looping line that connects all of the light bulbs - creating a strand of bulbs! If you feel the board needs more substance, as described above, use it to display the work of all of your bright students!
