With the new school year soon approaching, it is the perfect time to start preparing some icebreaker activities for your students. School is obviously a place for kids to learn but it’s also a place for them to make friends and learn social skills. With that being said, the new school year can be nerve-wracking for lots of kids. All about me resources are a fantastic way for your kids to get to know one another and introduce themselves to the class.
When you download this All About Me Hoodie, you will get two worksheets. On one of these worksheets, there is an illustration of a hoodie that has been split up into different sections. Each of these sections gives kids a chance to reveal different parts of their personality, including:
Name
I love…
My favourite gadget
My favourite colour
Age
My favourite book
My favourite subject
My favourite sport
There is also room for kids to doodle all around their All About Me Hoodies and even draw a self-portrait. Once completed, you can display these hoodies on the wall, so your students can see different things about each other.
The second worksheet in this resource is an illustration of a blank All About Me Hoodie for your students to decorate.
I suggest giving out both sheets and get students to answer and decorate on the blank sheet
