Back-to-school season is here, and if you’re looking for a fun, low-prep activity to build classroom community while keeping students engaged, I’ve got you covered! I’ve created "All About Me" Collaborative Coloring Posters for grades 1 through 5—the perfect blend of creativity, learning about other students, and teamwork.
What Is It?
Each student gets a unique piece of a larger classroom poster to color and fill out with personal facts like:
Their name
Travel Plans
A fun fact about themselves
What they want to be when they grow up
And more!
Once all the pieces are complete, students come together to assemble the collaborative poster. The result? A bright, welcoming, and personality-filled display that shows off your amazing classroom community right from day one!
Why Teachers Love It
✅ No prep needed – Just print and go!
✅ Great icebreaker – Helps students learn about each other in a fun, low-pressure way
✅ Fosters a sense of belonging – Every student contributes to the final display
✅ Supports multiple grade levels – Separate versions tailored for 1st through 5th grade
✅ Ideal for bulletin boards – A ready-made, student-created back-to-school display!
Designed With Each Grade in Mind
Each version has age-appropriate prompts and designs. So whether you’re teaching curious first graders or confident fifth graders, there’s a version that fits your classroom perfectly. For example 1st grade has a spot for students to draw themselves, and 5th grade has them write 5 fun things about themselves! They are specially designed for each grade level!
If you're ready to start the year with connection, creativity, and coloring, these collaborative posters are a must-have. Grab the one that fits your grade level today!
Here’s to an exciting start to the school year!
Below are the links to each grade level!!
I can't wait to hear how much you and your students love this activity!!
