About Me Book (Simple)

Here is an example of an about me book i create with kids. It allows them the chance to begin identifying what makes them unique. It helps to create a sense of identity. Depending on the particular client and situation I will either give them a blank book and allow the child free range OR i write the prompts in the book (my middle name is, i like to, i do not like to...etc) for them because i am seeking specific information.

MATERIALS NEEDED:

• Colored Paper (card-stock preferred for sturdiness but not necessary)
• White printer paper
• Crayons, markers, paint, color pencils etc

Extra items may include: oil pastels, stickers, glitter, puff paint, photos, etc. 

EXAMPLES OF PROMPTS ARE: ( but not limited to...:)

MY MIDDLE NAME IS...

MY FRIENDS...

MY FAMILY...

MY SCHOOL...

I LIKE TO...

I DO NOT LIKE TO...

I AM GOOD AT...

I CAN IMPROVE...

ONE DAY I WILL...

MY COPING SKILLS ARE...

MY FEARS ARE...

IN SCHOOL I...

MY DREAM IS TO...

IF I HAD ONE WISH...

IF I WERE AN ANIMAL...

MY FAVORITE COLOR IS....

These examples are probing, open-ended questions that can help you to obtain some pertinent information about the child.

Have a happy day
