This would actually work for elementary aged classrooms, but I teach 6th grade, so I'm sharing it here.
We are celebrating "Read Across America" this coming week at my school, and classes were asked to decorate their doors in honor of a particular Dr. Seuss book. I chose Oh, the Places You'll Go.
I made cutouts of hot air balloons, took a picture of each of my students, and attached it to the basket of the balloon. Then, my students chose a location in the world to which they'd like to travel and wrote that location on the balloon. It worked out great, and was a good way to incorporate some maps and Geography into the bulletin board.
I had various locations chosen, including "Terabithia" from the novel Bridge to Terabithia, Ireland, and Greenland. Most of my students chose Hawaii. :D
I'd love to hear other Dr. Seuss ideas, especially at the middle school level.
