- Print out short words related to the player's sport like "Goal" for soccer or "Touchdown" for football to hang on players' lockers.
- For students who don't play sports, create a fill-in-the blank mini poster that's laminated so the student can write in their own answer. Use a phrase like "WCS ___________ team rules!" Students can change out the sport each day if they want.
