Bulletin Poster Board-How to Set Up an Eye-Catching Classroom

Back-to-School Displays Made Easy with Royal Brites Poster Boards

Looking to refresh your classroom walls for back-to-school season? An engaging bulletin board doesn’t have to come pre-made in fact, some of the most memorable displays start with a simple, colorful blank bulletin poster board.

At The Royal Store, we carry a wide variety of Royal Brites Poster & Sign Boards that are perfect for creating custom classroom displays. Whether you want to promote reading, share class goals, or showcase student work, all you need is creativity, supplies, and the right board to start with.

How to Set Up an Eye-Catching Classroom Bulletin Poster Board

Step 1: Pick Your Poster Board Color
Your background sets the mood for the whole board. Two bestsellers for school projects are:
• Heavyweight Bright Blue Poster Board, 22″x28″ – Bright, happy, and perfect for literacy or reading themes (like our “Our Class Loves Reading” board!)
• Heavyweight Black Poster Board, 22″x28″ – Sleek and bold, it makes colorful elements really pop.

Want more options? Try our:

Neon Poster Boards for energy and fun
Glitter or Metallic Boards for parties or themed displays
Double-Sided Boards for projects with front/back or interactive elements

Step 2: Plan a Craft or Classroom Activity
These poster boards are perfect for hands-on classroom displays. Get students involved with creative activities like:

Drawing mini book covers and adding them around a central message like “Our Class Loves Reading”
Creating a Back-to-School Goals board with sticky notes or poster shapes
Using comic burst cutouts to highlight reading achievements or class values

Let the kids draw, color, write, cut, and glue – it makes the display feel theirs!

Step 3: Add Accessories for a Real WOW Effect

Boost your board with fun extras from Royal Brites available at The Royal Store:

Attention Grabbers Stickers – great for awards, headlines, or highlighting names
Comic Burst Poster Shapes (11×14) – use as colorful frames for student work
Make-A-Poster Kit – includes 137 repositionable letters, 24 emojis & shapes
Neon or Glitter Poster Board Sheets (cut into borders or accents)
Add glitter pens, markers, or student drawings to finish it off!

Tip: The “Our Class Loves Reading” example was made using our Bright Blue Poster Board plus accents cut from neon and primary colors, comic bursts, and student artwork – all available in the poster & display section on The Royal Store!

Keep It Flexible

The great thing about using Royal Brites Poster Boards? You can switch them out seasonally, change the message, or move them around the classroom. They’re sturdy, lightweight, and easy to pin or tape to any surface.

Need a display board for a table or trifold project? Use a Royal Brites Foam Board – they’re bendable, strong, and great for standalone crafts too.
