At the beginning of each school year, there are so many different emotions swirling around for kindergarteners.
An All About Me Worksheet Packet is the perfect thing to calm your kindergartener and get them engaged with the coming school year!
Kids of this age are developing strong opinions about what they like and what they don’t like, and they want to share those thoughts!
These younger kids are also developing the fine motor skills to draw simple self portraits, their family, and their favorite things. And they have the language skills to speak up and explain those drawings too!
Sharing these things is also a great way to meet new friends with similar interests.
That’s why All About Me Worksheets are one of my favorite activities for young ones!
There are 5 printable pages in the below packet. A great way to spread them out is to hand out one on each day of the first week of school.
This will give plenty of time for the student to do their best work.
These sheets are appropriate school activities for any learning setting – homeschool, classroom, or co-op!

Kids of all ages will light up when they see this on the first day of school!
It really is the perfect way to kick off the beginning of the year.
Kids will have lots of fun drawing their favorite food, favorite animal, favorite color, and what makes them happy!
Make sure the child writes their own name on the “by line” and fills in their age under the cake. There is also room for them to draw that number of candles on top of the cake!
Be sure to provide lots of time for coloring the frames and other elements of the sheet.
Finally, store this sheet of paper in a safe place. It will be a fun keepsake to look back on!
This worksheet has simple questions that will tell you so much about your young learners!
Have them write their name between the arrows and go through each of the blank spaces with them.
Give them some options to choose from if they’re not sure about their favorite book or future career.
The largest space was saved for what they want to learn about – because that will definitely be the most helpful thing for homeschool parents and teachers.
Do they want to learn about the solar system, the life cycles of frogs, native Americans, science experiments, or play dough?
You don’t know if you don’t ask!
Try and shape your lesson plans around this response as best you can – especially at the start of the year.
This free download also has a lot of fun questions!
Your kids can draw their favorite games, season, and dream pet! They can highlight the things they are really good at and what they like to do.
Lots of personality and individuality will definitely come out!
Some kids will dive right into this assignment, but others may hang back or get frustrated.
The child should know that you don’t expect a “photo quality” picture.
Just focus on eye color, hair color, height, and things like that. What kind of clothes do they like to wear? Have them draw those too.
And don’t just focus on physical appearance. What else can the student draw around themselves? Their house? Bedroom? Favorite place?
End the activity with the child writing their name and age.
As an alternative for this first day of school activity, have the student paste a picture of themselves in the frame.
This will likely be one of the great keepsakes for families!
Have the kindergartener draw a picture of all the people who live in their home.
How many brothers, sisters, and adults live in the home? Have them write the total number at the bottom of the page.
Consider combining all five finished pages into one big book or deconstructing the sheets into lap books!
Why You Didn’t See Very Many Writing Prompts
You may have expected this blog post to contain more fun writing prompts.
Kindergarteners are young children who should just be starting the process of writing letters, writing numbers, learning to read, and maybe recognizing sight words.
Expecting them to write their answers during the first week of school is a bit unrealistic…and definitely not fun. Their writing skills have just not developed yet.
Yes, you could have them dictate the answers to you, but that takes away some of the ownership of this school printable. Drawing the answers and showing off their work will give young students so much pride!
So for that reason, these kindergarten activities (or even preschool worksheets) are designed for what a kindergarten student can comfortably complete – at the beginning of the school year.
First grade kids or older kids may enjoy writing out their answers, so be sure to save those worksheet pages for when it is more appropriate.
