Back-to-School Fashion Fun!

What better way to celebrate a new school year than with a t-shirt designing activity?

On this worksheet, your students will have the opportunity to describe themselves in a creative way.

Provide students with a blank copy of the worksheet, and have them use pictures and words to decorate each section.

Each section of the t-shirt prompts students to answer things like:

name
favorite animal
favorite drink
favorite sport
and more

Once they have finished decorating and coloring, invite your students to cut out their t-shirt and glue it on a bright piece of cardstock. Then have them introduce themselves to the class using their unique t-shirt design!
