Showing 1 - 10 of 50 Free  Educational Posters

If you have been homeschooling your kids this year, you know how helpful educational posters can be. There is so much to learn in school, which can be overwhelming as you try to teach it all and ensure your kids understand the concepts. Visual educational poster can help make the task easier for you and your munchkin. At Monkey Pen, we have a vast list of free educational posters for kids that are perfect for young children. You can hang these posters in your classroom or at home for kids to acquire knowledge in a suitable way in which they learn better.

Impacts of Educational Posters

Most kids are visual learners, which is why educational posters are a popular choice for school and at home. At school, teachers use kid’s posters to teach various subjects. Parents can now adapt and enjoy the same educational opportunities at home. You can download our free children’s posters to foster a learning environment in your children’s bedroom or playroom. A colorful alphabetic poster is a sure bet to help your little loved ones learn ABC…! Here are the advantages of using posters as a visual aid in the learning process.

1. Kid’s poster grabs learners full attention

Educational posters are an effective way to catch and hold the attention of your kid or student as well as maintain their interests in the subject. Kids respond emotionally and intellectually to visual pictures. When you want your students to take in and retain complex information in their long-term memory, a poster can support that process. Although in a classroom full of students and different posters can be a major distraction for students with ADHD, but with the right strategy on the usage of posters, you can help these pupils to concentrate and better process information.

2. Motivates Students

Getting your kids to sit down with their notebooks to read can be the most boring thing. Children are significantly influenced by the things they see; hence, what you hang on the wall can have a strong significance in their educational process and kids' development. Bright and vivid posters with motivational pictures and phrases can enhance their desire for learning and help them learn for a long time. Posters can motivate students to study a specific topic or subject very quickly. Grab your free posters from our unending list to stimulate and enhance your kid's creativity and curiosity, which will increase their desire for learning.

3. Educational posters for kids help with focus

Educational posters make the learning process more enjoyable. They can improve leaning as they present an opportunity to create a clear picture of what the teacher or parent is teaching. Kids will be able to understand the subject much better if they see the illustrations reflecting the topic. As a result, posters aids train the brain, push creativity forward, make students think about problems, their solution, and establish the base of what they are learning. This helps students focus on a particular idea, fact, event, or process through visual posters.

4. Enables students to comprehend the concept better

Educational posters are a perfect tool for every classroom or kids’ bedroom and playroom because they can make complex information easier to understand. This helps students to comprehend an idea better as they can keep the concept in mind for a longer time. Basically, visualized ideas are easier to remember. And let’s face the truth; colorful posters can make any environment more exciting and captivating for studying. To help your kids to remember everything you have taught them, download free children’s posters here. They will help you, kids, to absorb learning material very fast.

5. Induces Constant Learning

By hanging posters in the classroom, living room, playroom, or in the kid’s bedroom encourages constant learning. Even when the kids play their favorite games by just looking around the playroom, they can gain some knowledge. Images are said to be evocative than words, and most people find learning more effective when transmitted visually, and a poster is one best way to do that.

Recommendations on the usage of kid’s posters

Despite the many benefits of using educational posters for kids, its success and its effectiveness depend upon the correct selection and correct utilization of these visual posters. You cannot just take any poster and present it to your kids or pupils.

Selecting appropriate Poster type

1. Student Age:   when choosing a poster, a parent or a teacher must consider the age of his or her kids or pupils. I will be pointless to use a complicated poster for a 4-year-old kid. A childish poster will also be poorly received by the high school students. As you download your free posters for your kids and students, choose appropriately depending on their age.

2. Posters Features:   A good poster should display simplicity, brevity, appropriateness, attractive design, and color combination. It should also motivate and inspire pupils to learn. Our endless list of posters exhibits all these features to ensure your kid gets the full benefits from it. Grab yours now in PDF form free of charge.

3. The logical structure of a poster:   An educational poster must have a logical structure. To avoid confusing students, it should follow a logical sequence from top to bottom. It should also not contain unnecessary images. Our educational posters aim at fostering students learning in an easy and fun way. Whether you are looking for home posters or school posters for your students, Monkey pen got you covered. You can download them any of the posters here free of charge.

Our free downloadable educational posters are a great addition to any room. They add extra spice to a classroom lesson to make your student or kids very engaging during the learning process. We have a wide range and always growing printable lovely illustrated posters for young kids that are perfect for usage at home or school. Use these colorful displays to help your little ones learn the alphabets, colors, shapes, letters, and much more in a fun and exciting way. When used in a home or classroom setting, we recommend that you laminate these posters for durability.

10 Ways to Use Book Recommendation Posters in the ELA Classroom

I’m always on a mission to find innovative, fun, and efficient ways to recommend better books to my students. When I manage to get the right book into the right reader’s hands, magic happens. (If you know, you know, am I right?!) While this will always be a magical experience, the reality is that behind the scenes, it’s not so much magic as it is a strong system (and maybe a touch of book fairy dust). In all seriousness, I work hard to recommend great books to my readers. But I’m always looking for ways to work smarter, not harder.  I’m always searching for “shortcuts” to help students find books, ways to streamline my book recommendations, and strategies that empower my readers to select their own books. So allow me to introduce you to my latest addition to my book rec toolbox: Visual Book Recommendation Posters.

Designed as book stacks, these posters for middle and high school readers give students quick book recommendations tailored to a variety of popular topics in middle grade and young adult literature. Topics include sports, survival, mental health, grief, coming-of-age, music, refugees, and more. While these convenient book rec posters look great on a bulletin board, the reality is that you can use them for so much more in your middle or high school ELA classroom. Whether you’re displaying them in frames in your classroom or coordinating the posters with your classroom library organization, the possibilities are endless! 

Ready to help your students fall back in love with reading this year? Here are 10 different ways to use the book posters to help your readers find better books.

1. DISPLAY THE POSTERS ON A BULLETIN BOARD OR FRAME THEM TO CREATE A “GALLERY WALL” OF BOOK RECS

My favorite part about these posters is that they are adorable AND purposeful–what I like to call “functional decor.” I’m a big believer that you can have your cake and eat it, too: you can have a cute classroom AND a practical, purposeful learning space. Not only will these posters brighten up your classroom, but they will also serve as a resource every time a student needs a new book. 

These book recommendation posters are perfect for those students who seem to aimlessly wander the classroom library shelves, because they provide a better starting point. They ask the question, “What topic are you interested in reading about today?” and beckon the reader with a visual array of recommendations.

2. CREATE A VISUAL CATALOG TO HELP STUDENTS SEARCH FOR NEW BOOKS

In addition to hanging the posters up around the classroom or library, consider compiling them into a binder or booklet that can serve as a catalog of sorts. Keep the visual “catalog” by your classroom library so that students can flip through the recommendations when they are in need of a new book.

Here are a few ideas:

• Slide each poster into a page protector and place each in a 3-ring binder.
• Laminate the posters, hole punch them in the upper left-hand corner, and place them in a binder ring so students can easily flip throught the recommendations.
• Get the posters spiral bound into a professional-looking booklet at a local FedEx or Office Depot store.

An important note: You don’t have to own all of the titles featured in the book rec posters to create this kind of catalog or display them in your classroom. I certainly don’t! It’s actually better this way, because it gives you an opportunity to teach students about other ways to access books: the school library, public library, and Overdrive/Libby. Each year, I’ve gotten many students hooked on audiobooks and ebooks this way. For more information on how to access digital libraries and expand your students’ access to books (for free), check out this helpful blog post.

3. USE THE POSTERS TO COMPLEMENT BOOK TASTING OR BOOK SPEED DATING ACTIVITIES

The next time you notice your readers are in need of some new books, use the book posters to plan a book tasting to help your students explore new titles. For example, you could host a book tasting focused on one specific topic (such as sports, survival stories, mental health, etc). You could also use the posters to set up a few different book tasting “stations” around the room. For example, you could set up books about sports at one table, survival stories at another, and so on. Whether you mix and match or stick to one theme, you can make these book posters work for you and your students. They make it easy to tailor your book tastings and recommendations to topics your students are most interested in. To learn more about hosting “book speed dating” in your classroom, head to this blog post.

4. CREATE MINI BOOKLETS OF BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS TO GIVE TO YOUR STUDENTS

Give your students the gift that keeps on giving: book recommendations! If you’d like to give students a copy of the book recs without using too much paper and ink, print the posters 4 to a page.  Then, cut the pages horizontally, and fold/staple the half-sheets together to create a cute mini-booklet of book recs. You can also try printing 9 to a page and cutting vertically to create bookmarks with recommendations, too. 

5. COMPLEMENT BOOK TALKS, BOOK TRAILER TUESDAY, AND FIRST CHAPTER FRIDAY WITH THE POSTERS

While the posters are designed for students, they can also be a super helpful resource to help you plan out book talks, Book Trailer Tuesday, and First Chapter Friday. For example, if you’re looking for a great sports book to hook your students on First Chapter Friday, you can scan through the titles to see which one has the most intriguing first chapter. If you’re hoping to feature a survival story book trailer, you can see which book/s in the stacks have trailers on YouTube. Hint: Dry has a great trailer, but you don’t need to spend time searching for Book Trailer Tuesday links, because I’ve actually compiled a FREE list of links for the entire year. Click HERE and I’ll send you these goodies ASAP. 🙂

6. LINK TO THE POSTER SLIDES ON YOUR LMS TO CREATE A DIGITAL “HUB” OF BOOK RECS

In addition to displaying these book rec posters in your physical classroom, you can display them in your online learning space and create a digital “hub” for your readers. Whether your platform is Google Classroom, Canvas, or any other LMS, it’s super simple to digitally share these posters with your students. The files are Google Slides, so all you have to do is attach/share with “view only” permission on your secure learning platform. With these sharing permissions, your students can access the slides and any updates you make at any time. If you’re teaching 100% virtually, consider hyperlinking the book spines to their corresponding pages on Overdrive or Goodreads so students can check each title out.

PS: If you want to convert the Google Slides posters to PowerPoint, go to File -> Download > PowerPoint.

7. USE THE POSTERS TO STRENGTHEN YOUR BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS TO STUDENTS

One reason I love these book rec posters is that they don’t just help my students; they help ME, too. I read so many books that I often forget specific titles or authors. When students ask for book recs, I often find myself scrolling back on Goodreads or searching on Google to remember a specific book. So part of the reason I created the book posters the way I did was to give myself a visual, accessible “shortcut” to recalling books for students. 

To learn more about another favorite resource that will streamline your book recommendations, check out the following blog posts about my book rec brochures:

• Book Recommendation Brochures: Frequently Asked Questions
• 15 Ways to Use Book Recommendation Brochures

8. EDIT THE GOOGLE SLIDES TO CREATE YOUR OWN BOOK STACKS.

The best part about these book recommendation posters is that they are completely editable in Google Slides. This means you can adjust the posters to your students’ interests AND create new, unique book stacks. Here are a few ideas:

• Create a poster of YOUR favorite books, books you’ve read, books on your TBR, etc. The possibilities are endless. 🙂
• Create a poster of books that are currently “trending” in your classroom.
• Each year, create a new poster of the most popular books of the year. Then, keep the yearly book posters for a fun and memorable display of books over the years.
• Create a blank template and give it to your students so they can create their own stacks of favorite books. If you want, you can compile these individual posters into a class book or ebook. 

9. USE THE BOOK REC POSTERS TO SUPPORT BOOK CLUBS, LIT CIRCLES, AND/OR INDEPENDENT READING

If you’re looking to launch lit circles or an independent reading unit, but you don’t know where to begin, start with these posters. The book recommendations are especially helpful if you want to facilitate topic-based book clubs. Because the posters are all editable in Google Slides, you can easily change up the book stacks to reflect your literature circle options. If you decide to do genre-based lit circles, you can edit the posters for that, too. For more information on setting up book clubs, check out this blog post. For tips on facilitating book clubs, head to this blog post.

10. COMPLEMENT BOOK BINS, BOOK DISPLAYS, OR CLASSROOM LIBRARY SHELVES WITH THE POSTERS

The wonderful thing about these book posters is that they can probably fit into what you’re already doing in your classroom. This year, I am doing a bit of reorganizing in my classroom library to make certain genres and sections more appealing and accessible. My classroom library is currently organized by genre, but I am working on adding topic-based book bins to give students even more options for finding the perfect book. The posters will complement this structure perfectly because if a certain poster catches a reader’s eye, they can head straight to the corresponding bin or shelf.

I hope these ideas get you thinking about all of the possibilities for these book recommendation posters. They are truly a joy to create, so please let me know if you have any suggestions for topics that I can add to the poster sets in the future. These resources are growing bundles, which means I will be adding to them based on what my students ask for AND what you need in your classroom. So request away in the comments! 🙂 You can find the middle school posters HERE and the high school set HERE . You can also click on the pictures below to go straight to each resource.

If you like these book recommendation posters, you’ll LOVE my book recommendation brochures. While the posters are topic-based, the brochures are genre-based, so the two resources complement each other perfectly. Check out the middle school brochure collection HERE and the high school bundle HERE.

Khabarovsk: The city on the 5,000 ruble banknote

Located at the confluence of the Amur and Ussuri rivers, Khabarovsk (6140 kilometers from Moscow) is the second largest city in the Russian Far East after Vladivostok. Having grown from a small military post in the middle of the 19 th  century, the city got its name from the famous Russian explorer Yerofei Khabarov, who surveyed the Amur River. Currently Khabarovsk is the administrative center of the Far Eastern Federal District.

The city was founded by Count Nikolai Muravyov-Amursky and the main street is named in his honor. Modern buildings and shopping centers coexist with old stone houses of gray and red. A monument to this famous Russian statesman can be found in the city’s Central Park. This statue can also be seen on the 5,000-ruble banknote.

The best way to explore Khabarovsk is on foot, beginning at Lenin Square and working your way towards the banks of the Amur River. The two main boulevards, Amursky and Ussuriisky, run parallel to each other. The architecture on Lenin and Serysheva streets, with its mostly Stalin-era structures, differs from the beautiful pre-revolutionary buildings on ul. Muravieva-Amurskogo. The Amursky and Ussuriisky boulevards did not exist until the mid-1960s.

Khabarovsk is not a typical Russian city along the Trans-Siberian Railway. The unusual fusion of Russian and Chinese cultures is felt in the food, culture and even lifestyle of its residents. Japanese touches complement this picture in the form of blossoming cherry trees and cars with steering wheels on the right hand side. That Khabarovsk has such a strong Asian influence should not seem surprising, as the city is located only 17 kilometers from the state border with China. The nearest Chinese settlement, Fuyuan, is 65 kilometers down the river from Khabarovsk.

Khabarovsk’s gem is its picturesque river embankment and the Amursky rail and road bridge, which is also depicted on the 5,000-ruble banknote. Just like the Eiffel Tower, this bridge won the gold medal of the World Exhibition in Paris in the early 20 th  century.

Khabarovsk's museums

Khabarovsk became famous during the Soviet period for a popular song about border guards that stand on the "high banks of the Amur" and protect the motherland. It is not hard to find old cannons on display in the city that were fired during the Russo-Japanese War.

At the present time Khabarovsk is the headquarters of Russia’s Far Eastern Military District.

The Military Historical Museum of the Far Eastern Military District depicts in great detail everything you ever wanted to know about the formation and development of the army in the Far East. Models of weapons from different years are exhibited over the museum’s 13 halls and heavy military equipment is placed in the courtyard of an observation deck. The museum itself is located in a historic building right on the bank of the Amur River.

The Far Eastern Art Museum, also known as the "Far East Tretyakov Gallery" features original works of ancient Russian art, as well as local artists from the Amur Region. Among the artists on display are Ivan Aivazovsky, Ivan Shishkin, Ilya Repin, Vasily Surikov, Isaak Levitan, Alexander Benois, Apollinaris Vasnetsov and Mikhail Vrubel. Many of these works of art came to the Far East from museums in Moscow and St. Petersburg.

The Khabarovsk Regional Museum holds collections of flora and fauna, ethnography exhibits of indigenous peoples and Slavic settlers, and displays by paleontologists and geologists that tell the city’s story from its foundation. The only archaeological museum in the Far East is the Okladnikov Museum, which features 120,000 ancient artifacts pertaining to the Amur Region.

For those traveling with children, Khabarovsk has special kid-friendly attractions including an aquarium featuring fresh water fish of the Amur River basin, as well as the Gaidar Amusement Park and the Khabarovsk State Circus.

A living museum of Far Eastern flora can be found at the Khabarovsk Arboretum, established as an experimental laboratory in 1896. It has collected about 300 plant species that grow in the Ussuri taiga as well as those from the Himalayas, Central Asia and North America.

Khabarovsk is known for its parks such as Dynamo or Yuri Gagarin Park. The Central Park of Culture and Relaxation is perfect for taking leisurely strolls and leads to the river station located within the park, where you can take a boat ride on the Amur River. Especially memorable is taking a walk along the river at night, when Khabarovsk is illuminated by hundreds of colored lights. In the park there is also an observation deck that offers a spectacular view of the Amur.

The oldest Orthodox Church in Khabarovsk is a Church of St. Innocentius  of Irkutsk, erected in 1870 in honor of the patron saint of Siberia and the Far East. The impressive Holy Transfiguration Cathedral (its height with golden domes is 95 meters), built from the donations of inhabitants of the region, is the third largest temple in Russia after Moscow's Christ the Savior Cathedral and St. Isaac's Cathedral in St. Petersburg.

Several major theaters operate in Khabarovsk, which is often called the cultural center of the Far East. These include the Khabarovsk Regional Musical Theater performing classic operetta and musical comedy, and the Regional Drama Theatre featuring international and domestic classics. There is also the Triad professional mime theater, which offers unusual performances in interesting interiors. 

Why you should climb the Khabarovsk cliff

Khabarovsk is hot and humid in the summer with temperatures reaching 30 C and cold and dry in the winter with the average temperature being -24 C. However, the temperatures often drop below -30, making Khabarovsk the coldest city with a population of 500,000 or more in the world. There are massive ice sculptures on Lenin Square from January until the spring thaw in April as part of the annual Amur Crystal and Ice Fantasy festivals. City Day, celebrated on the last Saturday of May, is a good reason to visit Khabarovsk at the beginning of summer.

No matter the season, if it is clear, then climb the Khabarovsk cliff (ul. Shevchenko 15), a true symbol of the city. A famous building was constructed here on a rocky promontory 70 years ago by an architect named Starikov. At first it was a station for military observation, later becoming a rescue station. After the building was transferred to Khabarovsk Central Park of Culture and Recreation, a viewing platform was added that now offers the best panoramic views of the Amur River.
