IDEAS- CLASSROOM DECORATIONS
|

DEAR COLLEGUES,
I own a language school in my country (Greece) and it �s my first year.
I had an idea on how to decorate my school walls so, I thought to make some paintings on the walls.
Have you got any ideas on what these paintings would depict?
I will have other teachers who will teach French, Italian and German. So I thought to paint some monuments from each country.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance! |

Nice idea! What about children walking from one continent to another holding hands?. You could also draw monuments from the countries which languages you are going to teach. You could use those little lights which decorate xmas trees lighting the monuments:) |

maybe he meant how the continents look when it �s night in this or that part of the world...If you will have a room for young learners, you could draw a big tree (which you will probably use for a lot of activities), a house, flowers, animals, birds, sky, sun, moon, stars and so on and so forth. Instead of painting the walls you could put on large posters depicting different things connected with this or that country. Good luck!!

I think you shoul also paint the flags of each country... leave some space to students work... they love it.
You could also at the end of the year show all students work for their parents... This one motivating student to improve their works... |

I would suggest the painting create like a framework that you can post childrens work within.
I love the tree idea - I am currently creating a tree on the back of a curtain (painting) to use as a word tree where we place our high frequency words on leaf templates.
what about some people and animals with speech bubbles - this way you can attach different words to the peoples mouths.
I would even look at using some sort of blackboard paint (green or black) in some parts so children can use chalk to create things on part of the wall. for example if you use green chalkboard paint as the grass in a outdoor theme - the students can draw animals / buildings / etc on with chalk and add language.
maybe embellishments on the corners of the room - with stripes that separate the room into different parts.
have fun
