All about me get to know you foldable activities for back to school first week

Get to know your students at the beginning of the year with these 'all about me' foldable activities. A fun activity for the first day or week of school that's a bit different from a standard 'all about me' worksheet.

Each template is designed to be colored, completed with words and pictures, cut, and folded. No glue required! Once folded, bring the 2 halves together to show the main images, and pull apart to reveal what's inside!

There are 5 sets in this bundle to allow you to use with multiple ages, abilities, or to have options for future years.

Self-portrait foldable activity

Children can pick the design that best matches their hairstyle (15 options included with and without a border). They then draw eyes, eyebrows, skin/hair color, and lips, creating a self-portrait!

The inside prompts them to add some information about themselves - name, age, favorite colors, something that makes them smile, and something they are good at.

Space theme foldable activity

In this set, each foldable displays a different letter so that students can complete one that matches the first letter of their name. The inner sections of the foldable have meaningful questions on an outer space theme as follows:

• Captain...... (children insert their name here)
• Age
• Things I love to the moon and back
• I'm a star at.... (for children to tell you what they are good at)
• My mission is to get better at... (for children to let you know areas that they might need extra help and support).

Dinosaur themed foldable activity

There are 26 templates, each with a different scaly letter of the alphabet so students can use the template which displays the first letter of their name!

• Self-portrait (space to draw their features on the blank face).
