Students draw a colorful self-portrait on the last page. On each of the other eight pages, they will write the answers to provide clues for:
• Age
• What he/she likes to eat
• Color of hair
• Color of eyes
• How many pets they have
• Color of clothing he/she is wearing
• Color of backpack
• Who he/she sits next to
• VISUAL SUPPORT PROVIDED FOR ALL RESPONSES INCLUDED ON EACH PAGE
• Reinforces colors/color words
• Reinforces numbers/number words
When the booklets are stapled, they are given to the students in the class. Students read/are read to the clues to see if they can guess who it is. BEFORE the final portrait page is flipped, the student must try and guess who the child is! You’ll hear lots of giggles and laughter as they reach the self-portrait page to check and see if they are right!
Just PRINT, trim around the border, and staple! NO velcro, NO laminating required!
