All About Me Circle Time Activities

I'm Glad I'm Me  Original Author Unknown

No one looks the way I do. I have noticed that is true! No one walks the way I walk. No one talks the way I talk. No one plays the way I play. No one says the things I say. I am special! I am ME! There's no on else I'd rather be!

I like / I don't like Have children stand. Say, "If you like the color red, jump." or "If you like beans, sit down.", etc. 

I Like Collage

Let children draw a picture of themselves on the paper. They cut out items from magazines of things that they like such as dogs, cats, flowers, family pictures, hot dogs, etc.

I Am Special Because  Have children sit in a circle while you play music. Children should pass a bean bag around the circle as the music plays. When the music stops, the child holding the bag gets to stand up and tell something special about himself/herself using the phrase, "I am special because . . . ." Make sure each child has a turn over the duration of the theme.

My Special Face Adapted by Jolanda Garcia, KidsSoup Inc.

When I look in a mirror I see my face, And all of its parts are in their place. I see two little ears and one little nose, I see two little eyes and one little mouth. When I look in the mirror, what do I see? A wonderful and special me!  (Give yourself a hug!)

I'm Special Mirror Craft Draw a mirror shape on to craft paper and cut out. Cut out an oval shape out of aluminum foil and glue on the mirror. Let children decorate their mirror.
