I believe in immersing students into thinking outside the box, thinking creatively, thinking critically & thinking silly sometimes! These whiteboard messages will help you do that without you having to do any of the planning!
Ideas for using these 180 whiteboard messages:
Write a new whiteboard messages on the board each day.
Write the whiteboard messages in a bubble cloud and ask students to complete the whiteboard messages surrounding yours.
Use a separate whiteboard space in the classroom if you have one. This separate space allows students to answer whiteboard messages on the whiteboard & see their input remain on the board the rest of the day – without it having to be erased for teaching purposes. *If you don’t already have an extra whiteboard – get creative. Think chalkboard paint! Shower board from Menards or Home Depot! Sticky notes on a wall! You get the idea! Do what works for you!
Give the expectation that ALL students contribute to it daily.
Create a routine where students grab materials for the day on their way in the classroom & answer the whiteboard messages right on the whiteboard. This gets them moving, thinking, talking, creating community with each other & with you! It gets them moving toward a purpose in the classroom.

More Whiteboard Messages Ideas:
Regularly do a quick chat about the whiteboard messages once everyone has answered. This builds community. This can be a simple “everyone take a minute to read what your classmates wrote today,” or a little longer “Wow. There are some powerful ideas on the board today. Let’s take a couple minutes to talk through some of these positive whiteboard messages.”
Simply encourage that ALL students are contributing & accepting of each others’ answers with respect.
Lay some simple ground rules about kindness - only kind things are allowed in answer to the whiteboard messages & students know anything unkind (or inappropriate) very quickly will be erased. A quick lesson & this will almost never happen.
You’ll LOVE these whiteboard messages in your secondary classroom! They could also be great for a family message board or conversation starter in a homeschool setting too!
