Description
The Merry and Bright Christmas/Holidays Collaborative Block Poster can be used as a fun team building and holiday/Christmas activity. Students work together to piece their winter holiday “block” with their classmates. The result is a beautiful, fun, one of a kind pop-art to hang in the hall for the Christmas holiday season.
You can use the Merry and Bright Block Poster as a bulletin board display, hang on the classroom wall, classroom door, hallway, school entrance, library, gym or any place you see fit. This poster will pop and students and teachers will stop to admire your work!
This is the perfect Holiday/Christmas activity to keep your kids calm before the holiday break! I like to play holiday music in the background while they are working and coloring. The Merry and Bright Block Poster is designed so that each student colors their own block/piece of the poster. When everyone is done, they have to work as a team to put the block poster puzzle back together. Each poster has an abstract background to make your poster “pop”.
Students will need color pencils, markers or crayons, tape and scissors. This activity is great because they can put a personal art twist on their own block. The included teacher and students directions are very simple to follow. The possibilities are endless with this activity! My favorite part is watching the kids work as a team to try to piece it back together.
This is GREAT for community building and teamwork! Teachers should create a classroom that supports persistence, effort and even mistakes. Hanging the Merry and Bright Block Poster is the perfect reminder for students.
How you choose to set it up in your classroom is up to you J Each student colors one “block” or section of a large poster. This product includes 16 “blocks” or pages to color, I have also included some other holiday designs for borders in the event that you have more than 16 students. Print the file ONE time for each class on 8.5×11 paper!

the way each student colored their own piece of the product was fun to watch, we did a collaborative piece about once a week close to the holiday times and the students enjoyed it very much. i, being the teacher, even colored some pieces with them which they enjoyed even more!

This is a really cute poster with such a cheerful message. My 5th graders enjoyed coloring it for a hallway display, though I had to help them figure out how the curved background stripes lined up so they were be consistently colored across the poster. (This one does not have any key to tell students what colors to use on each page.) It was also not as easy to assemble as many other collab posters I’ve done. The dotted lines that outline each page are slightly wider than the actual image. So there was an obvious gap in the image as I taped the pieces together, resulting in a lot of trimming guesswork to get it to line up. Overall it turned out really well, but was not as low prep as some of the other TpT posters I’ve previously purchased.

We used this as a station during a winter fun day just before the holidays. Each class made their own version and we hung them all up in the hallway for winter decor.
