Free Editable Bulletin Board Titles and Labels

About these editable titles and labels handouts

A bulletin board needs a title that everyone can read, a few smaller headings, and labels that mark the work beneath. The title banner gives you all three on a single landscape page. A wide ribbon carries the main title, two medium ribbons carry subtitles and topics, and three small oval tags carry unit numbers or short labels. Type each into its box, print, and cut the pieces apart.

The title ribbon has a notched end on each side, a heavy colored outline and a pale tint inside, so dark text stays legible in every color style, including chalkboard. The longest titles fit best at about twenty characters. For longer titles, shorten the wording or print on two pages and join them.

The label sheet gives you twelve cut-apart tags in four shapes: notched rectangles, ovals, hole-punch tags and rounded cards with a header band. Type your class name once and it prints at the top of every label, then leave the writing line for the student, the topic or the date. They suit work-sample displays, supply bins, center names and cubbies.

Both pages use dashed cut lines, so you can cut with scissors or a paper trimmer without guessing. Cardstock suits labels that will be handled, such as bin tags. Thin paper is fine for a board that will come down at the end of the unit.

How to use them

1. Open the fill-in boxes. Type the board title and subtitle for the banner, or your class name for the labels.
2. Pick a color style and check that the title fits within the ribbon.
3. Print on cardstock for labels that get handled and on regular paper for display titles.
4. Cut on the dashed lines, or fold along the lines and trim with a paper cutter.
5. Mount the title first, then position the labels around the work they describe.

Classroom tips

• Keep titles short and use a verb when you can: Our Weather Watchers reads better than Weather Chart.
• Use the small unit tags to number your boards through the year, so a visitor can see where each unit sits.
• On the label sheet, punch the hole-tag shape and tie it to a bin or basket handle with string.
• Print one set in a different color style for each subject. Students find the right area faster when the color matches the class.

Notes on this page

• Titles of about twenty characters or fewer fit best in the ribbon.
