Ideas for a Hunting Bulletin Board

In areas where hunting is a popular pastime, crafting bulletin boards centered around this theme can be an engaging way to capture student interest. There are a number of exciting lessons that teachers can present with the aid of a hunting-themed board, many of which have little to do with the sport themselves. When next seeking a hunting season room decoration addition, craft a board that centers around this theme to captivate your learners.
  1. Hunt For Some Facts Board

    • Encourage your students to hunt for facts in the same way that hunters stalk their prey. To prepare this board, gather an assortment of animal-related facts. Type them up, placing them on index card-sized sheets of cardstock. Purchase or create animal-shaped cutouts, placing one of your fact-bearing cards on the back of each one. On the front, write a question that relates to the fact on the back. For example, you could write, "What do bears eat?" on the front of the card that contains facts about bear diets on the reverse. Turn your corkboard into a scene of wilderness wonder by covering it with blue, green and brown paper. Place your animals on your board, stapling them only at the top so students can flip them up and read the facts on the reverse.

    Hunting Math

    • Create a math practice board with a hunting theme. To prepare this board, cover it with green, brown and blue paper to create a woodland scene. Using pre-cut or hand-cut animal cutouts, fill the forest with a variety of animals. Type out story problems related to the animals on sheets of paper, number them and attach these papers around the perimeter of the board. These questions could include things like "How many deer and bunnies are there in the forest?" requiring students to count up the bunnies and deer, and add them together. Ask students to complete the problems on the board as they have time and give you the answers, earning points for each correct answer they figure.

    Hunting Word Find

    • Test your students' puzzle completion skills by creating a hunting word find. Create a large grid on your board using tape or ribbon. Fill each section of the grid with a letter, planning out some hunting-themed words such as "bear" and "deer." When students have time, give them some string and thumbtacks and allow them to use the string to circle the words and complete the massive word find.

    Hunting Haikus

    • Mix hunting and poetry by having your students craft perfect-for-hunting season hunting haikus. To start this process, take students outside and ask them to take in the beauty of the great outdoors. When you return to the class, ask them to compose haikus about the natural landscapes in which hunting could take place. Hang the finished haikus on your board, surrounding them with cutouts of animals hunters may seek.
