In honor of Dr. Seuss’s birthday on March 2nd, Tiffany {Sage Valley Middle School librarian} imagined this fantastic B-I-N-G-O bulletin board display and brought it to life with the help of her library assistant, Mary Kay, and student TAs. Not only does the board provide a dynamic decoration for the classroom, it displays part of the famous author’s library of works while doubling as an interactive game board. Simply brilliant!

Dr. Seuss Bulletin Board B-I-N-G-O

• Background: Black bulletin board paper.
• Title: “B-I-N-G-O” – The letters on the original board were cut from several colorful book pages, etc. that displayed samples of Seuss’s quirky characters.
• Border: None needed.
• Decoration: 24 of Seuss’s book covers printed in black and white. Student TAs used graphic art tools to add some color detailing to the prints and make them pop. The center space features a birthday cake print with “Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!” scripted on it.

The day of Seuss’s birthday, students were given a miniature version of the bulletin board {there were multiple variations, of course!} and small beans to mark the spaces as the book titles were read out! A dynamic decoration, tribute to the author, and fun classroom game all wrapped up in one – it can’t get any better than that!
