‘All About Me‘ is wonderful way to get to know your students. Whether you are distant learning, in peason teaching or just wanting to get to know your group of kids better this will help you know them on a whole different level!
Who would have thought at the start of this year that we would have had to change and adapt so rapidly to a new way of teaching and a new way of learning. In July I hosted a virtual holiday club for the first time. I’d successfuly hosted almost 100 zoom meetings with children aged between 5 and 14 years and we had had a blast! Our summer camp was scheduled for the end of July, but due to the ongoing pandemic it was put on hold, so we moved everything online.
We had several children join us online for the first time and this craft activity was a great way for us to get to know them in a short space of time even although we weren’t meeting in person with them.
All About Me Puppet Activity comes with printable costumes (t-shirt) in 8 different styles. A printable sheet of eyes and mouths. Plus two different ‘All About Me’ worksheets, it’s so much fun the kids won’t even know they are doing work!
I don’t know about you, but I have found that some children can be fairly shy and don’t like to speak infront of others. However, give them a puppet and they take on a whole new persona!
‘All About Me’ puppets are easy and quick to make, all you need are some small brown paper food bags. These can be purchased from places such as Amazon, click here to find the best bags, some wool for hair, coloured pens or pencils, glue stick and some scissors.
I was so thrilled with the way that this cute little puppet activity turned out that I decided to upload it to my Teachers Pay Teachers store, you can find it here. Each pack contains black and white t-shirts, coloured eyes and mouths, plus a choise of 2 different worksheets. The pack comes with English UK and English US paper sizes and spelling.
I’ve also make a short instruction video sharing step-by-step instructions on how to make the puppet.
Whethere you have been teaching in person for a while or just coming back into the classroom now, this is a fantastic little craft activity to set you up to get to know all about your kids in a fun and creative way. I hope you enjoy this ‘All About Me’ activity, do let me know how you get on and please tag me in any instagram posts!
