My Intro Footprint

This foot activity was a great way for us to introduce ourselves to each other in our classroom. This is an easy and fun way to create something that describes yourself. If you wanted to do this activity with your class, you don't need anything special. First, have the students get some construction paper and have them trace their foot with a marker. Next, have the students write their name anywhere on the foot. Try to have them put it in a place so they can make it big enough so you can see it from across the room. Then have your students find pictures or stickers that described them. Next, they will glue the items they found onto their foot. If your students can't find the pictures they are looking for, have your students draw them with markers or crayons. Lastly, let the glue dry and then hang it somewhere in the classroom for everyone to see.

An extension activity you could do with this is have the students not put their names on the foot. Collect all the students feet and put them in a pile. Have a student come up and draw a foot from the pile and have them try to guess whose foot they have. Have the student present the foot to the class, that way they can see each others work. Give each student 3 chances to guess who the owner of the foot is. This would be a fun game for the students to play so that they could see how well they know one another.
