WHY CHOOSE A WESTERN CLASSROOM THEME
A western classroom theme helps create an adventure-packed and highly engaging environment where students are excited to learn. Teachers love this theme because students love it (both lower and upper elementary) and it’s quick and easy to put together on a budget. There are tons of DIY ideas out there for this elementary theme.
BULLETIN BOARD IDEAS
BULLETIN BOARD BACKGROUNDS
A cow print fabric makes a great bulletin board background for your western themed classroom. You could also look for a fabric that has a print on it that resembles a banana, or create a background out of several actual bandanas. For a more rustic bulletin board look, a rustic wood roll of paper looks great with this theme.
BULLETIN BOARD TRIM
- bandanas
- draw cow print on the back of left over bulletin board trim
- rope or twine
- denim
- stars to look like sheriff badges
BULLETIN BOARD TITLES
- “(Grade) is a Boot Scootin Good Time!”
- “We’ve Got Some Rootin’ Tootin’ Terrific (Grade) Students!”
- “(Grade): A Great Place to Hang Your Hat!”
- “Howdy (Grade) Students!”
- When creating your own titles, use words like hat, howdy, or roundup.
OTHER IDEAS FOR A WESTERN CLASSROOM THEME
- Hang a variety of “cowboy” style hats around the classroom.
- Create valance for your classroom windows out of bandanas.
- Use rustic looking storage throughout the classroom such as wooden baskets and metal buckets.
- Call your students cowboys and cowgirls.
