Baseball Theme
By BuzyBee

Clip to ScrapBook   
Bulletin Boards: "Batter Up! It's going to be a Great year!" "Look who's hitting a home run in ____'s class!"

Behavior: Give everyone a baseball glove with their name on it. Put four baseballs in the glove. On the top one
write "Home Run", second one write "Third Base." For every infraction, students move one of their baseballs during the day. The goal is to stay on Home Run all day. OR call each
infraction a "strike."

Name Tags: Use a clipart program to put students names on baseballs and print on cardstock.

Reading Corner: A green rug, posters/pictures of famous baseball players around, a couple

of baseball beanbags (check Wal-Mart) and a sign that says "YOU ALWAYS HIT A HOME RUN WHEN YOU READ!" Hang large cardboard baseballs around the room with character words written on them. I've seen baseball notepads and pencils at my local teacher store.

Hall Pass: Use a minitature baseball bat or ball with a string tied to it and your name on it.

This would be a great theme to emphasize teamwork! Give each cooperative team in your room a baseball team name like "Cardinals" "Mets" etc.
