How to Create a Roller Coaster Display

1. Using the carriage template, have students complete the questions and decorate.
2. While they are decorating, start to take some photos of your new students (get them to put their hands in the air like they are really on a rollercoaster. 🙌 Take a photo of them on their side (because this is what you would see if you were really looking at a roller coaster going up and down!
3. Once you’ve printed the photos, have your students glue themselves to the top of their carriage.
4. Cut out the letters for the display banner ‘Rolling Into Year 1’ – choose the correct year level for you.
5. Then cut some black strips of paper, make sure it’s going up and down like a real rollercoaster!

Tip: don’t have heaps of space? This display would look super cute just above your whiteboard or even above some windows. 

✂️ Give Them the (Safety) Scissors

This template makes for a bonus cutting skills activity, depending on your students’ ages and abilities. 

With adult supervision, cutting skills help students work multiple muscle groups and their brains, plus:

• strengthen finger and hand muscles
• build dexterity and fine motor skills
• improve hand-eye coordination
• develop focus and attention.

And all of these skills are necessary to use a pencil and a fork; button a shirt and tie shoes; write, type and swipe.

Scissor skills are brain and muscle skills!
