1. Merry Math-mas

We love a good math-related bulletin board, and this one is no exception.
The kids can each make a triangle Christmas tree and then choose a math fact to write on each ornament.
If you want to make it even more challenging, you could give them a specific number to solve or make them solve a simple equation.
2. The Reason for the Season

This beautiful display from The Owl Teacher is all about the reason for the season.
Students write about what they love about Christmas and then they can be displayed with the “Merry Christmas” banner.
3. Christmas Around the World

Christmas is celebrated in so many different ways around the world.
This is a great opportunity to teach your students about different countries and their Christmas traditions.
This bulletin board is a great way to display what your students have learned.
Each student can be assigned a different country and can create a poster or a flag to display on the board.
This is a great way to incorporate a little research and writing into your December plans.
4. The Gift of Reading

This adorable Christmas bulletin board idea from The Creative Classroom is perfect for any grade level!
You can use any of the five featured book covers, or add your own favorite holiday read-alouds to the mix.
We love the addition of the student-made ornaments!
5. Christmas Trees

Christmas trees are one of the most popular symbols of the season. They are also a great way to get creative with your Christmas bulletin board.
You can create a tree out of paper, use a pre-made tree cutout, or even use a real or artificial tree as a backdrop.
You can also get creative with the decorations you use on your tree.
You can use ornaments, lights, bows, and other decorations to make your tree stand out.
You can even use different colors and patterns to make your tree unique.
If you have a large bulletin board, you can create a whole forest of Christmas trees. This is a great way to fill up a large space and it looks really festive.
6. Snow Globes

This snow globe board is a fun and easy way to add a bit of holiday magic to your classroom.
Cut out a large circle from light blue paper and a smaller circle from white paper.
Glue the white circle to the center of the blue circle and use scissors to create a wavy edge.
Glue a piece of white paper to the bottom of the blue circle and use scissors to create a wavy edge.
Cut a snowman, tree, or other holiday shape from a coloring page and glue it to the white circle.
Use a white paint pen or white acrylic paint to create snowflakes on the blue circle.
Cut a strip of white paper and use scissors to create a wavy edge. Glue the strip to the top of the blue circle to create the snow globe base.
If you have a die-cut machine, you can use it to create a large snow globe shape and then add your own holiday scene inside.
7. Santa Claus

No Christmas is complete without Santa Claus! This board is a fun way to incorporate Santa into the classroom.
If you have a little extra time, have the kids write and draw what they would leave out for Santa on Christmas Eve.
They can draw cookies, milk, and even carrots for the reindeer. This is a great way to incorporate writing and drawing into a fun Christmas activity.
8. The Grinch

The Grinch is a classic Christmas movie that also makes for a great Christmas bulletin board.
This board was created by Jennifer at First Grade Blue Skies.
She used her Cricut to cut out the Grinch and the words and then added some fun Christmas lights for a little extra flair.
9. The Nativity
The Nativity scene is a classic Christmas tradition. It’s a great way to focus on the true meaning of Christmas in a school setting.
This bulletin board is great because it’s simple and easy to put together. It’s also a great way to display student art!
You could even have students color pictures of the Nativity and use them to make the scene.
The best part about this bulletin board is that it’s a great way to remind students and teachers alike about the true meaning of Christmas.
10. Christmas Lights
This Christmas lights bulletin board is so simple, but it’s one of my favorites! I love the idea of using the lights as a border around the board.
It’s so festive and colorful!
You can add any Christmas-themed quote to the board or even use it for a writing prompt.
