Many teachers and schools promote independent reading by setting up a bulletin board to keep track of reading points from a program like Accelerated Reader or keeping track of the quantity of books read by each student. Design a racing themed bulletin board to motivate the students to read more books. Each students' individually designed race car moves along the track to keep track of their reading progress.
Completing basic facts in math is a classroom goal in many elementary school classrooms. Organize a racing bulletin board to keep track of students' passing different levels of their multiplication and addition facts. A racing themed bulletin board shows the students' cars move around the track as they pass their multiplication facts or addition facts timed quizzes.
School wide contests build school spirit and help the schools achieve a goal. A fitness goal of walking or running for a specified amount of time or distance can be shown on the racing track. Move the cars around the track for each student as they hit a new goal. It could be set up to show a car moving through the track after the child ran another mile or for exercising for another twenty minutes. Other school wide contests' progress can be marked on the racing themed bulletin board. For instance, show progress towards a goal of raising money for a school wide cause.
Many keyboarding programs are designed in levels. Progression through the levels is easily displayed on a bulletin board with a racing theme. As the students move through each typing level, their cars move around the track.
