Elementary Interactive Word Wall Bulletin Board Idea

Photo Source: Pinterest.com | Tamara Herman

How adorable is this?! We found it while perusing Pinterest for fall ideas and couldn’t pass it up. Since we can’t find a link, we assume that this is an original design of Tamara Herman, but please let us know if there is a different source for the photo/idea!

McDonald’s Inspired Word Wall

  • Background: Yellow bulletin board paper.
  • Title: “I’m Lovin’ It!”, “These Words Are Fried! {encourage students to replace “overcooked” words with the french fry synonyms}, etc.
  • Border: Brightly colored pattern border.
  • Decoration: Create a list of overused words, collecting a large McDonald’s french fry container for each entry on the list. Label each container with one of the words – using a marker to script the word onto a label sticker or word processing software to print labels. Come up with acceptable synonyms for each word, scripting or printing them onto strips of yellow card stock, then place the synonym strips in the french fry containers and arrange on the board.

Supplies for this bulletin board…

      Appealing to students’ knowledge base/interests in order to help them learn a new concept… brilliant! :)

      To help your kiddos get in the habit of using the new words (and retiring the old) – when they come across one of the words displayed in their writing, invite them to get up from their seat, select the synonym french fry that would fit best, and take it back to their desk to assist with spelling, etc. The act of getting out of their seat is SURE to help them learn the new vocabulary!

      Thanks for stopping by! We hope you’ll visit again soon!

    Thought maybe I could use his with my pre-k. Instead of over used words, use it as a positive reinforcement for words and/or letters they have learned.
