How to Use

• For Parents: Use our printable board as a fun morning activity before the first day of school. Ask your child to fill in the details, or for younger children, ask them questions and help write down their answers. Encourage them to decorate the board with colours, stickers, or drawings that reflect their personality.
• For Teachers: Print and distribute to your class on the first day and let each child fill it out as part of a "getting to know you" activity. This can be a great icebreaker and helps create a welcoming classroom environment.
• Older Children: Encourage older students to fill in and decorate their boards independently on their first day to help them settle in!
• Younger Children: Guide younger children through the process by asking questions like "What’s your name?", "How old are you?", and "What are you excited about this year?" Write their answers for them or assist them in writing.
• Photo Opportunity: Don’t forget to capture the moment! Take a photo of your children holding their First Day Board. This makes for a wonderful keepsake and a fun way to see how they’ve grown each year.
