Get to know your new classroom "treasures" with a fun "All About Me" Craft Activity.

Looking for an “All About Me” Activity? This One’s a Real Treasure!

Use this activity to help students introduce themselves at the beginning of a new school year.

Students draw a collection of treasured items that represent their personalities and interests.

Create a Getting-to-Know-You Treasure Chest!

  • Explain to the students that they are going to draw a collection of items to be kept inside their very own treasure chest. If possible, show the students a sample treasure chest you have drawn.
  • As a class, brainstorm some treasured items that could be drawn inside the treasure chest e.g. a family photo album, a piece of sporting equipment, or a musical instrument.
  • Provide the students with a treasure chest template. Have students draw their treasured items onto the paper coins provided in the resource, which are then cut out and glued onto the treasure chest template.
  • Cut out the completed chest with coins inside and mount it to dark blue or black construction paper. Then use white or pale green crayon to draw in seaweed, etc.
  • Once completed, encourage the students to share their treasure chests with the class. These could remain on display in the classroom or hallway throughout the school year.
