Description
Use this 'Soccer Ball All About Me', back to school, art and writing prompt activity to learn fun facts about your new students and to help them interact with each other.
Invite students to respond to prompts in a personal and imaginative way using fun doodles and graffiti-style lettering.
This all about me soccer ball is ideal for use as an icebreaker activity or as an art-specific lesson - it's great for engaging sporty kids who don't particularly enjoy art!
Please see the detailed Preview for more information
16 prompts on the doodle ball template include:
- Name, Age, Self Portrait, Favorite Song, Food, Book, Sport and Color
Writing prompt soccer balls
- Prompts encourage students to write some notes about their goals, challenges, hopes, and interests

- It's fun to glue the doodle and writing balls back to back if you complete both activities

“My scholars loved this activity. It was a welcome change to a typical icebreaker. 90% of my students currently play soccer, so that made it even more appealing. I now also have student art for my classroom walls!"
