Do you need help crafting your church's bulletin announcements? Here is our free guide for creating the best church bulletin announcements.
So much Twitter love from my post about my walls this year. Y’all know how to make a girl feel good! I don’t have my lesson plans ready, and am not entirely sure what I’m doing on…
This post is about making my ward bulletin board more functional and interactive! It includes a link to my Etsy where you can download printables for your own bulletin board!
Do your church members read your bulletin, or toss it in the trash? Here are three easy steps to design a church bulletin people will want to read.
Church announcements are important Imagine the time during church announcements as having a face to face conversation with everyone at once. It’s that small window of opportunity to share important things with the church family. If we are doing it well, we can make the few minutes we have really impactful. **
I was asked to decorate this classroom for an Elder that is teaching the class of middle school students. You can find the material here. The teachers and students are really enjoying the study! This post is just ideas for decorating a Bible class with any FBI or Investigators theme. You can click here to purchase the material with more ideas and posters. I kept the door simple. I had cut the paper to totally cover the door, but as I began to put it together, I figured with kids, I would just be fighting to keep the background up for a year. So, I cut it down and used this. I have Duct Tape I use for my IFA classroom and used it at the top and bottom to secure the paper. (Although, I just used rolled up masking tape to attach it to the door.) Click here to download some of the misc. posters I created. For the FBI Watch List, I originally used this idea in my IFA Acts study class. I put two poster boards together and used the Duct Tape around the outside edges to make a border. You can find decorative Duct tape just about anywhere to use. This is the first quarter and will be the few things I will change each quarter. You can download (Genesis) the first quarter here. This includes the title and shield. I used rubber cement to attach the wanted people. This glue will allow me to peel them off each quarter and attach the new people. The second quarter begins with Moses. You can download the 2nd quarter wanted set here. A Creation poster comes with the visuals, which you can see below. So, I removed it for the study about Moses and added this 10 Commandments Poster. Click here to download it. The sets for the third and fourth quarter will be added as they are created for the class. I found these decorations for this wall here. I love it! A whole wall was complete once we cut it and stapled it! This room is supposed to look more like an office, than say, a room decorated for VBS. This was the only request for the room! This is on the main wall that students see when they enter the room. I left the bulletin board as a cork board since it looks more like an office. I made a large banner to go above the bulletin board with the title and color decorative masking tape for the sides. We ran out of room for all the student posters, so I stapled the teacher's poster and the decorative poster on the wall along the side of the bulletin board. You can find the yellow tape here that is along the bottom. Beside the above bulletin board, is this map that will be changed each quarter and the posters that you can purchase with the material. Click here to download some of the posters I used (including the earth symbol above). The evidence boxes are an idea I found on Pinterest. These are stacked at the end of the wall with the computer monitors. I also found the Investigator shadow here. I just enlarged that onto black bulletin board paper and added the yellow paper for the light beam. The white board is on the right of this. On the other side of the white board is this Bible investigation area. There is a Bible timeline that I placed in the corner at about eye level. There are some posters that comes with the FBI box. I also added some posters that will cover each quarter. Click here for the posters. The bookshelf holds class and office supplies. The Bibles are also here... right next to the Bible investigation corner. I found this Height Chart idea and since the item is not for sale any longer, I made one. This is right next to the door, where you typically see them. This was also used for the student's Most Wanted Posters. I just used white bulletin board paper and a ruler, but I used my Cricut machine to cut the numbers. The last photo is the general look of the room. You can see the tables lined up with cubicles attached to them to look like an office. This idea is in the FBI manual, and you can purchase it here to see more. You can find more ideas and printables here. There are posters and bulletin board printables and ideas here. You can find more investigation ideas on my Pinterest board here.
I should probably give you a little background here, in case you don't know. I am the coordinator for the Sunday School kiddos at my church. I work specifically with grades 2-6. We are known as the S.P.Y. Agents (Spirit Powered Youth). We picked this name because out of the 10 kids in my Sunday School class, 8 of them are boys. {yikes!} We definitely needed to come up with a cooler name than "Sunday School." So, instead, on Sunday mornings, we have S.P.Y. Academy. Fun, right? Here's a peak at our SPY HEADQUARTERS, complete with "Scan-In" technology :) We're very high-tech! A couple weeks ago we had our big kick off to the school year and our theme was "Mission Possible" where students learned that our mission as SPY Agents is serving others, so they became members of the "Secret SERVICE" for the day. It was a lot of fun, complete with fake mustaches and SPY glasses for our disguise. After our first "Mission Briefing," our SPY Agents had several tasks, one of them was using their SPY skills to use picture clues to help them "spy" the Bible story. I created this bulletin board: I chose 8 kid-familiar Bible stories (Noah's Ark, the birth of Jesus, David and Goliath...etc). These were our SPY top secret "cases." Each case had a magnifying glass and a top secret folder (I cut real file folders down to size so that 8 of them would fit on my bulletin board.) Inside the magnifying glass was a close-up snippet of the full picture. For example, this magnifying glass is a close-up of the Adam and Eve Bible story: Here's the full picture: I asked students to use the clues shown in the magnifying glass to guess the story. Inside the file folder for each story, I will eventually put the full picture so that students can see if their guesses were correct. For now I just have the question mark slip shown above. I'm giving students a couple weeks to submit their "Mission Slips." Once they've made their final guesses, they will place their "Mission Slips" in the "Confidential" file that I stapled to the bulletin board. To say that the students enjoyed this activity would be an understatement. They took their mission VERY seriously. I think I might keep this type of bulletin board game going all year, just switching up the Bible stories. And the more I thought about this game, the more I thought about how fun it would be to use this idea in a regular classroom! Think "Can You SPY the Character" (doing close-ups of characters from books you may be reading in your class) or "Can you SPY the Story Plot" (doing close-ups of major events in a book you are reading) or "Can you SPY the Animal" (for your science animal unit.)...and so on! I decided to do a quick little tutorial video to help you make your own SPY magnifying glasses! Check it out! I got the magnifying clip art here. And, if you want to use the "Top Secret" and "Confidential" pieces that I put on the folders and the "Mission Slips" that students filled out, you can download it for free here. What could you use this bulletin board game idea for in your classroom? I'd love to hear your ideas!
