Use this Super Bowl bulletin board to improve student performance in a variety of ways.
The Super Bowl is right around the corner, so why not use the upcoming game to motivate students in a variety of ways? Create a bulletin board with goalposts at either end. Divide the space between the goalposts into "10-yard" lines. Represent each student in the class with a football with his or her name on it. Include at the top of the bulletin board a big scoreboard for keeping track of scores. Arrange students into two teams; the team with the most points by Super Bowl day earns a special reward.
Following are a few ways in which you might use this bulletin board to improve student performance.
Use green construction paper and white paint or chalk to transform a classroom bulletin board into a football field. (This diagram of a football field might help you see how you could do that.)
Create football-shaped nametags to place on the field -- one football per student. You might differentiate two teams' footballs by writing student names in different colors; for example, one team's names might be written on the footballs in white and the other team's names might be written in black. That way, you won't lose track of which way the footballs on the field are heading. (If you want to be able to rearrange teams easily, write each student's name in black on one side of the football and in white on the other side.)
Students move their footballs along the "yard-lines" as they achieve the goals set for the activity.
