Who's That?

Art/Social Studies

Children will create a classroom mural to help learn each other's names.

What You Need

• Camera
• Butcher paper
• Pushpins or stapler
• Glue or tape
• Crayons, colored pencils, or markers

What To Do

1. Take an individual headshot of each child in the class.
2. Cut butcher paper to fit the bulletin board.
3. Paste pictures of the children on the butcher paper, leaving enough room for children to draw bodies below their headshots.
4. Have children draw their bodies underneath their pictures.
5. Invite children to write their names below their portraits. Help children, if necessary.
6. As part of the daily routine, have children chant “Look at” and then the name of each child as you all point to his or her picture. End the chant by having everyone say, “Look at us!” as they stretch their arms open wide.
