Back-to-School Activities for the Preschool Classroom

All About Me activities give preschool children opportunities to talk about themselves, their families, and the things they like. These simple ideas can be used during the first weeks of school or as part of an All About Me theme.

1. All About Me Drawing

Ask children to draw a picture of themselves. Encourage them to add details such as their hair, eyes, clothing, or other features.

2. My Favorite Things

Invite children to draw or identify their favorite color, food, animal, toy, or activity. Use their answers to encourage conversation and vocabulary.

3. My Family

Give children a page where they can draw the people in their family. Encourage them to talk about their picture as they work.

4. Name Activities

Use name cards to help children recognize and practice their names. They can trace their names, identify the first letter, or decorate a name card.

5. Self-Portrait Activity

Provide little mirrors and drawing materials. Children can look at themselves and create a simple self-portrait while practicing observation and pencil control.

6. All About Me Collage

Provide paper, crayons, stickers, and other materials. Children can create a collage showing some of their favorite things.

Final Thoughts

All About Me activities give preschool children simple opportunities to talk, draw, create, and practice early learning skills. They also work well during the first weeks of school when children are getting to know their classroom and classmates.
