• Sunday school bulletin boards light up a room and reinforce lessons for children. Aim to create interactive bulletin boards that students contribute to making; this will help them not only integrate the lesson but also feel personally invested in the project's accomplishment. When planning a bulletin board, choose an applicable topic and decide on a way to incorporate student participation.
  
  

Bible Stories

• Whether you're teaching the parting of the Red Sea or the feeding of five thousand, Bible stories can be transformed easily into interactive Sunday school bulletin boards. Some examples of stories that students can create and decorate characters to finish the bulletin board include: Noah's ark, the wall of Jericho,and the feeding of the five thousand. In some stories, the students can place their names on objects: the 10 commandments, fish from Jesus calling the apostles to be fishers of men and slingshots from David and Goliath.
  
  

Virtues, Gifts and Fruits

• Sunday school bulletin boards don't have to change every week for every lesson. Bulletin boards can grow over a number of weeks' lessons, having students add to it each week. If you're covering the fruits of the Holy Spirit, students can use large fruit shapes to write down ways that they have used those fruits or ways they have seen others use them. Have students fill out a different fruit based on the ones you are talking about each week.
  
  

Church Holidays and Seasons

• Church holidays and seasons of the year make great Sunday school bulletin board themes. Students love to see their own pictures on bulletin boards. For Easter, place their pictures on resurrection crosses, and for Christmas, place student photos onto shapes of gifts.
  
  

Salvation

• In learning about the road to salvation, grab a simple Bible verse and expand it into a Sunday school bulletin board. For "I am the way, the truth and the life," students' names can decorate the path leading to a cross or to clouds symbolizing heaven. "If the Spirit sets you free, then you are free indeed," can be a bulletin board with a prison on one side into which students put shapes with sins written on them; then, place person shapes outside the prison with each student's name.
  
  

Charity and Church Activities

• If your parish is raising funds for a cause or there is a large event coming up, inspire the students' involvement and enthusiasm by creating a bulletin board for Sunday school in the weeks leading up to the event. For missions overseas, adopt a particular missionary for whom to pray and put up prayers the students write for them. If you're collecting needed supplies or food for a mission, have a large thermometer bulletin board; when students bring in donations, have them write their names on shapes to see the thermometer gradually fill to its target. For a family games night, have students write their names on pictures of their favorite board games and place them on the board.
