Whether it’s adding a new splash of color or motivational sayings, you can create amazing displays in no time at all. Check out these New Year bulletin board ideas to make your classroom sparkle! Easily create amazing displays that inspire students to reach their goals and add new life to your room.
Bright Displays and New Year’s Resolutions
One of the best ways to bring new life to your space is to add color! Liven up any bulletin board or even your classroom door with bright, festive designs. In this popular New Year’s Resolutions Craftivity and Bulletin Board Kit, I paired the decor with a black background to make the colors really pop! Using confetti or balloon shaped pieces on your boards also creates the sense of celebration and excitement.
And we couldn’t talk about New Years without mentioning resolutions! Provide your students with an opportunity to reflect on the past year and share their goals for the new year. You can take it a step further by making their resolutions into a fun writing craftivity that you can display in your classroom afterwards. Have them write on brightly colored paper, hang streamers from their writing, and just get creative! It’s the perfect way to inspire students to achieve their goals and decorate your classroom at the same time!
If you want a ready-made resource, grab this complete New Year’s Resolutions Writing Craftivity and Bulletin Board Kit from my TpT shop or my website store to really save time!
Colorful New Years Classroom Posters for a Quick Refresh
If you’re looking for a super quick way to spice up your bulletin boards, classroom posters are the way to go! You can create your own designs, or find print-and-go options to create a festive atmosphere in minutes! Again, choosing posters with lots of color will add a refreshing vibe to your classroom for the New Year. And if you decorate with motivating sayings and quotes, your students will be surrounded by positive energy daily.

Fill your classroom with inspirational sayings this year! You can search for motivational quotes online, or choose printable decor with uplifting messages to sprinkle throughout your space.

For example, if you have a nature or mountain themed room, check out this New Years Mountain Themed Bulletin Board Kit. Or if you have a rainbow theme, see this New Year Rainbow Themed Bulletin Board Kit for ideas. Let your creativity shine by matching your motivational boards with your unique classroom theme!
Retro New Year Bulletin Board Ideas
For a unique spin on New Year decor, opt for a retro theme! Decorate with disco balls, smiley faces, and a bubble font to create a groovy 1960s vibe in your classroom! I’m loving this Retro New Year design in a pastel color scheme. It’s upbeat and celebratory without being distracting.
These kits are available individually in my TPT shop. There’s a bulletin board kit with a New Years activity; a fun door decorating kit; A-Z bulletin board letters in a retro style font; and a full set of classroom posters.
