How to Design a Cheerleading Board

Create a board for your cheerleading team that's almost as dazzling as the team itself. A cheerleading board can help the team advertise cheer events along school hallways or in the gymnasium. Design the poster to instill team spirit in your fellow students and inform them of upcoming cheerleading or football events. With just a little time, your cheer squad can share their school spirit with the rest of the school.

Instructions

    • 1

      Reserve a hall message board from the head of the school's recreation department.

    • 2

      Measure the width and height of the message board to determine how much butcher paper you'll need. Cover the message board with colored butcher paper.

    • 3

      Determine the title for your board, such as "Go Team!" or your high school's name or mascot. Write out the board's title. Trace the outlines of each letter onto colored construction paper with a pencil. For best results, alternate the school's colors for each consecutive letter. Cut out each letter along the traced lines with scissors.

    • 4

      Arrange the letters so that they're in the order they'll appear on the board. Place two or three pieces of masking tape on the backs of the cutout letters. Stick the letters along the top of the board.

    • 5

      Trace the outlines of cheerleading icons, such as pom-poms, bows and megaphones, and sports equipment, such as football helmets. Cut out each shape with scissors.

    • 6

      Place a piece of tape on the back of each cutout shape and stick them around the edges of the board.

    • 7

      Write the dates, times and opponents of upcoming cheerleading competitions or football games on the board with markers.
