1.3: 'Me' Collage


This activity draws attention to the value placed on each student.

Tasks

  1. Ask students to sit in a circle with teacher. As a model, complete the following statement: "My name is X and I like cats." Ask students to each have a turn completing the statement.
  2. Ask students to create a personal collage by using pictures cut from magazines or drawing things that they like to represent themselves e.g. football, peaches, pink, dogs.
  3. Ask  students to write or trace names. Ask students to think of positive descriptive statements about themselves and write them down.
  4. Collect collages and, hiding the names, use the statements as clues for a whole class guessing game. "Guess who likes football, peaches and pink?" etc.
