Making How To Posters

Dayna and I were finishing up teaching the HOW TO writing unit from the UOS,  and we decided to have our students make HOW TO posters. 

Here is a teacher sample :


















TIP: Print the posters on 11x18 paper (enlarge)

How to template one

How to template two

How to template three 


The kids were super engaged because we had them take a topic from a cup (an adult pulled it out because of Covid).  I think it felt a little special. 


The topics in the cup were familiar to all the kids. Some topics were:

How to clean your desk.

How to play tag.

How to wear a mask.

How to learn a snap word. 

How to wash your hands.

How to log onto Zoom.



For the student's first poster, they had to...

  1. Turn to their writing partner and orally rehearse the parts together. The kids were able to talk (6 feet apart... yes, it is noisy).
  2. Each partner made their own poster but had the same topic. 
  3. After the students finished their posters, they selected another topic from the cup and made their own. 
  4.  We added a little bit of color to our posters.
  5. Last, we delivered posters around the building. For example, we gave the kindergarten teachers HOW TO posters about recess games.

If you have some topics to add to this list, leave them in the comment! 

 Have a wonderful Friday!!!

  1. Love this idea! The links are not working properly for the posters. Any chance you could fix them? I would love to use these the week before the December break to make a bunch of How-to Gingerbread posters. Thank you!!!!
