Instructional Ideas

  • Rather than including a photo of the children, have them create a self-portrait to glue on the sheet
  • Use this resource as an icebreaker activity, pairing up students and having them fill in the information about their partner
  • After completing the form, have the class walk around and share information about themselves with a certain number of their peers
  • Create a back-to-school bulletin board and display the finished copies of this worksheet, allowing students to read and learn more about their classmates

Classroom Considerations

  • Template is written in cursive, which may be challenging for younger children to read

Pros

  • Includes sentence frames that support children with completing the survey
  • Template provides a place to attach a photo of the child

Cons

  • None
