  • Anchor Yourself in Music Basics: This bulletin board could focus on note names/note values or serve as a reference for the elements of music. There are several nautical fonts you could use, or just use pre-made posters of bulletin board supplies.
  • Spongebob is ocean related, and his theme song is call and response. You could make a visual aid dissecting the song.
  • Oceans Eleven: Highlight 11 ocean songs
  • Sounds Fishy: Highlight fish or water songs
  • Sink or Swim? Create a bulletin board that compares note values that you've drawn on shells in the water. Have some eighth note shells "floating" on top and some whole note shells laying at the bottom of the ocean. You could use it interactively for lessons.
  • I can't think of specifics, but incorporating whale songs would be a neat idea.
  • You could create several different kinds of bragging bulletin boards with a nautical theme and use animal-shaped notepads from the teachers' store. Fish-shaped pads = "Super Swimmers," crab-shaped pads = "Snappy Musicians," whale-shaped pads = "Whale of a Musician," etc.
  • And there are tons of ways to go with surfing, sailing, and swimming with music.
