Clip to ScrapBook   
Student of the week/month: "Top Cat!" Put a large tiger to tie it into the jungle theme.

Classroom Jobs: "Spotted: Classroom Helpers!" OR "Hunting for Helpers!" Put up a green/grassy background, large pair of binoculars
and a safari hat, Put some windy roads and a small safari vehicle (use a matchbox car for fun). Give each student an animal (use elephants, rhinos, tigers, lions, monkeys, etc.) Put the job names on trees and rotate the animals around the board.
