Description
The first day of school is exciting, but it can also feel a little chaotic — and having a simple, engaging activity ready to go the moment students walk in makes a real difference.
This self portrait activity gives your students a chance to draw themselves and write about who they are, right from day one. It is a low-pressure, creative way to ease into the school year while you are still getting your bearings and learning names.
WHAT YOU WILL GET:
- Self portrait templates for 1st grade, 2nd grade, 3rd grade, 4th grade, and 5th grade
- One additional template that reads “First Day of School” — works for any grade level
- Two versions of the second page with sentence starters, so you can choose the one that fits your students best
- A front cover portrait page that can be glued to the top of the second page to create a simple flip book
Because templates are included for multiple grade levels, this is something you can use year after year without having to track down a different resource each time. The “First Day of School” version is also handy if you are teaching a mixed group or just want something more flexible.
There is no prep involved — just print and hand it out. Students draw their self portrait on the front and then flip it open to complete the sentence starters on the inside. It works well as a whole-class activity on the first day, and the finished flip books make a great display for your classroom walls or bulletin board in those first weeks of school.
