Indoor Recess Door Decor

With all of the super cold days keeping students inside at recess, what is a teacher to do? Why not decorate the door? Any theme of the month will do. For March, students can decorate for National Reading Awareness month or use green for St. Patrick's Day. Endless possibilities!

During the polar vortex, I chose the Olympic theme. Before recess, I cut 2" strips of colored construction paper using the colors of the Olympic rings. A few students stapled together the strips in the short fifteen minute recess. I created a sign that said "Team (teacher's name)" using the Olympic rings.

Use any color you like to match your theme! The kids enjoy making the chain and feel good about helping to decorate their classroom door. 
The butcher paper "snow" was hung before winter break. I left it up since it tied-in well with the Winter Olympic theme. :)
