This engaging About Me worksheet is an excellent activity for children to complete on transition day or at the beginning of the new school year. It’s designed with the intent to foster self-expression and to help you get to know your pupils better.
Pupils start by filling in their name and age. Next, they can either draw a picture of themselves or attach a photo, allowing for a creative and visual representation of their identity.
About Me worksheet
The About Me worksheet also includes sections where pupils can list their favourite food, colour and animal. This part of the activity not only makes the exercise fun but also gives you insights into your students’ preferences and interests.
Another interesting aspect of this About Me worksheet is the section where children can express what they aspire to be when they grow up.
This not only stimulates their imagination but also gives you a glimpse into the ambitions and dreams of your students. Understanding these aspirations can be motivational for both students and teachers throughout the school year.
Additionally, students are encouraged to set a goal for the year. This exercise in goal-setting is beneficial in promoting a sense of purpose and direction among pupils. It helps them focus on personal growth and achievement, which you can revisit and reflect on as the year progresses.
You can assemble the completed About Me worksheets into a large, colourful puzzle display. This creates a visual representation of your class and serves as a reminder of each student’s unique contributions.
