September - Get to know the teacher

Things I Want My Teacher to Know | Back to School Activity

Help pupils share important information about themselves with their new teacher at the start of the school year.

• What makes them worried
• Who they like working with
• Something they are proud of
• Something they would like to achieve this year
• Anything else they would like their teacher to know

Perfect for:

• First day/week activities
• Getting-to-know-you activities
• New classes

• Building positive teacher-pupil relationships
• Understanding individual needs

A quick, meaningful activity that can help teachers learn more about their pupils from day one.
