A Rainbow of Books
Create a rainbow of book jackets by arranging similar colors in an arc on your bulletin
board. Add the slogan “A Rainbow of Books” above the rainbow. Have the rainbow end
with a pot of gold filled with more books.
Nametags
Rainbows
Cut out three circles from three different colors of paper, making one large, one small and
one in-between. Glue the circles on top of each other so that they are stacked with large
on the bottom, medium in the middle and the small on top. Cut the pile of circles in half
to make the rainbow. Each grouping will make two nametags.
