Interactive Bulletin Boards and Other Quick Ideas
Submitted by Misty Hadaway, Carroll
College
Interactive Boards
Quote Board
• The upper left says, “This is your quote board, so add your quotes, thoughts, etc.”
• The upper right says, “Can I quote you on that?”
• In an envelope post markers so that residents can write on the board without having to go back to their room to get a writing utensil.
Embrace Diversity• Diversity is really important so this is
a great board at the beginning of the year.
• The top sign says, “Many different backgrounds + many different stories = one big happy family _____ (insert name of floor)
• The bottom sign says, “embrace diversity”.
• I cut out over a hundred pictures of all different kinds of women (it is an all girls floor) and basically made a collage with them
• Add an interactive element…have your residents develop a floor diversity statement, which is posted on the board. Residents can then be asked to endorse the statement by adding their signature.
What are your summer plans?
• A great end of the year bulletin board where residents provide information about their plans for the summer, with residents writing up on the board what they were doing.
• The sign in the middle says, “____(insert name of floor)’s Summer Debut” and has the movie scroll as a border.
It’s Time to Get Involved
• “It’s time to get involved” with little clocks made out of the small paper plates.
• The little papers are the names of the organizations on campus.
• For an interactive element, include a sign up form that residents can fill out and turn in to their RA, who can then help connect them with their organization of interest.
Flattering Fridge
• This was our “flattering fridge”.• Create a flattering fridge sign
and directions, and place these with post it notes and pens on the floor refrigerator.
• The flattering fridge is a place where residents can post nice comments about others and words of thanks. Signatures are optional.
• Monitor postings to make sure that only positive comments are posted.
Other Quick Ideas…
Welcome back board for January
• We had gotten floor t-shirts that were blue so these shirts are blue and have the names of the roommates.
Healthy Hearts
• These healthy hearts have wiggle eyes and pipe cleaner limbs
• The information posted was about body image, getting enough sleep and healthy eating.
“Bee” Prepared
• All of the posted information was different study and test taking tips.
