PICTURE ME

Children LOVE pictures of themselves, don't they? Take photos of children and make multiple copies to use in these activities to nurture self esteem as well as social relationships.

Lookin’ Good Lotto!
You will need two copies of each child’s photo. Mount photos on 3” squares of construction paper. Shuffle squares and have children match up the ones that belong together.

*Put a photo on one square and a name on one square.

Puppet People

Glue photos to craft sticks and use for working out problems or making up original stories.

Block Friends
Glue photos to square blocks and use in the block center.

Felt Board Friends
Attach a small piece of Velcro to the back of each photo and use with a flannel board.

*Be sure to include a picture of the teacher!

Class Directory 

Put pictures of children and their name on index cards to use in the writing center.

Class Stationery
Ask children to draw their picture and write their name in one of the squares. Run off many, many copies so you can put them in the class writing center.

Hint!  You could also let children write their name and draw their picture on 3" squares and then reduce the size for the outline of the stationery.
