Teachers set up the room before the first day and then have to hold twenty new faces for the first thirty minutes. This banner, 72 inches long and 30 deep on thick printed stock, gives everyone a place to sit and something to do that does not need instructions. It works the same way at home the night before, when nerves are running high.

Icebreaker Without A Script

New classes are quiet in a way that is hard to break with questions. Put the banner down the middle of two pushed-together tables and children start talking about what they are drawing instead of about themselves. Teachers can walk the room and learn names while it happens. Nothing has to be printed, cut or prepared the night before beyond unrolling it in the morning.

Paper Built For Desks

Desks and cafeteria tables are rough on paper. Thick stock takes a pencil pressed hard, a marker held by a six-year-old and the drag of a chair being pulled in, and it stays flat rather than curling at the corners by lunchtime. The print does not tear when the sheet is slid down the table, so the same banner survives more than one class group.

Hallway Display Afterward

A finished banner is a bulletin board that filled itself. Pinned outside the classroom door it shows families on back to school night what the class did in its first week, and it covers a stretch of wall that would otherwise need cut paper and borders. Homeschooling parents use the same trick on a kitchen wall to mark the start of the year.

Kindergarten Supply Bin

Kindergarten and preschool rooms run on a few things used often, and a large sheet of coloring paper is one of them. Kept rolled in the supply closet, it comes out for a rainy indoor recess, a substitute teacher day or an open house table without preparation. One sheet occupies a group longer than a stack of worksheets does, and it leaves one thing to put away instead of thirty.
