Answer 2

How about each student pick an ocean animal or object and put up something about it. And than maybe explain something on it. Or assign them something and see what they can find.

When board if filled add a game to it like -where is ----and each student can look for it (put your own small pictures of a shell or something in board on different days) Kind of like where is Waldo. This will keep the adventure going for a while.

For decorating, of course you could hang paper or stuffed fish from the ceiling & cut out some "coral reefs" to tape to the walls, by the floor. You could also find clear or blue balls to hang from the ceiling to look like bubbles on the water's surface, or you could drape blue or white tulle over strings across the ceiling to make it look like waves on top of the water, and then place blue balloons on top of the "waves" to look like the bubbles. This was how we decorated for my senior prom, which had an underwater theme! Hope that helped!

Art projects that I do are to make a watercolor resist. Have the children make an underwater scene with crayons (pressing very hard, leaving no white spaces except what will be the "water"). After the picture is complete, paint over the whole paper with blue watercolors. They turn out great! You could also read Rainbow Fish & have the children make a fish out of paper & then glue on tissue paper squares to make it very colorful. Give each child a few, tiny metallic scales to glue on, just like Rainbow Fish had. You could staple these fish onto a bulletin board (with blue paper in the background) and then cover it with clear saran wrap or cellophane to make it look like it was underwater.

Answer 4

well you can cut out waves,starfishes,sharks, and fishes. And you and hang streamers to represent waves in your classroom. Your students will love it. You can also try letting the students paint fishes and and hang them up that way the students are a part of the decoration.
