Great ideas for all about me preschool activities.

The
Long and Short of Me
Need: Bulletin board paper, marker
Directions:
Cut a three-foot long piece of bulletin board paper for each child. Spread
the paper out on the floor. Have the child sit on the edge of the strip
and stretch one leg out as far as possible over the length of the paper.
Use marker to trace the outline of his leg; then write the words "my
leg" above the outline. In the same fashion, make and label an
outline of his arm, hand, and foot, lining each part up at the same edge
of the paper. Allow the child to choose more body parts to trace as space
allows- a finger, thumb, or even a toe. After drawing all the outlines,
have the child color them. Using the resulting picture graph of his/her
body parts, encourage him to compare their lengths.
About Me
Need: Paper, crayons & markers, magazines, laminate, 3 ring binder
Directions:
Each child is given a sheet with "All about _______ " on it. He
or she can decorate it any way they wish using family photos, drawings,
magazines etc. When it comes back we laminate these pages and put a ring
on it to create a class book. The children look back on this book with
their families all year long. We also did a book where the parent got a
sheet of paper that said "___________is special because....".
This was a page the parents had to create about their child.
About Me Hand Prints
Need: paper, paint, crayons, child hand, child's foot
Directions:
The children made hand prints with tempera paint. This caption is below
the prints: I have two hands and on my hands I have 10 fingers. Will you
count them with me? Then the children did foot prints. I traced their
little feet and the children colored them. Caption: I have 2 little feet
and on my feet I have 10 little toes. Will count them with me? Then
the children did a Self Portrait Caption: Self Portrait It is really neat
to see that the children see no race. Children know that their skin is of
different color. I asked several
questions and wrote down their answers:
What is your favorite color?
What foods do you like to eat?
What is your favorite thing to do?
What is your favorite toy?
How do you help Mommy and Daddy?
What do you like to do with your mommy or Daddy?
What do you want to be went you grow up?
What is your favorite cartoon?
What is your favorite movie?
What is favorite Food?
I write all their answers down on a sheet of
construction paper and place it in the back of the book. The children
can't answer all the questions but they try. I love to hear their answers, and this a cool all about me project.
