Product Description
Introducing the ✨ All About Me Bulletin Board ✨! This creative take on the classic All About Me Poster is ideal for the first day of school in grades 4 through 8, as well as Middle and High School classrooms. Delve into a deeper understanding of your students with our convenient Google Slide Templates, enabling actual picture use in the digital version. Alternatively, choose the Printable All About Me Worksheet for a more traditional approach.
This Back to School Bell Ringer goes beyond the basic get-to-know-you questions like 'What's your favorite food? What's your favorite color?' to facilitate a connection between you and your upper-grade students.
When teaching this lesson, you can model each step, thus allowing your students to get to know and form connections with you. Students can simply use this no-prep beginning of the year activity because the templates have placeholders for the images to be easily inserted without any cropping or confusion. Your students will love this!
This product was created in Google Slides and can easily be edited or assigned in Google Classroom or Canvas. A printable worksheet is also included so that this first-day activity can be easily customizable for any classroom situation.
Students will share 8 facts about themselves, insert a picture, animated GIF, or even a virtual avatar of themselves. The best part is the boarding pass feature, where students can share about a dream trip or a favorite trip they have gone on. Students can even insert a QR code that brings their classmates to a website about their vacation spot. Another fan favorite feature is the ticket stub which is a fun way for students to share about a favorite or dream concert, show, rodeo, event, etc. These templates are so cool because not only are they so simple to edit, but they are also beautiful and age-appropriate.
This Bulletin Board First Day of School Ice Breaker has been updated to include both the original printable and digital versions.
This Back to School About Me First Day Worksheet Includes:
- 70 Pages of examples, instructions, and additional resources
- Instructions for Distance Learning Use
- Instructions for Printable Use
- Collaborative Google Slide Rules
- Video Tutorial and Walk-Through
- Completed Bulletin Board About Me Examples (Digital & Printable)
- Digital Versions (35 Slides for Students)

This upper-grades first day of school activity is a wonderful tool that can be used as a Back to School Get-To-Know-You Activity individually or in any whole-class instruction time. This digital and printable all about me activity has been used in class rotations, digital ice breaker, bell ringer, distance learning introduction, hallway display, and more.
I have seen this lesson work seamlessly in Zoom calls, Google Meet, collaborative slide lessons, breakout rooms, morning meetings, or with in-person classroom settings. No matter what classroom setting you teach in, this activity integrates seamlessly.
Need a No Prep First Day All About Me Activity? This activity is perfect for refreshing classroom procedures and presentation skills after a summer break while getting a quick introduction to the student's likes, dislikes, hobbies, etc. This is a low-stress activity to make meaningful connections with your students through cool pictures, QR codes, layouts, and more.
The best part? Your students will love to present their all about me bulletin board and listen to their classmates explain their life and interests. No boring introductions ever again! These work great to present in school open houses or classroom bulletin boards to display all year long.
