Help young learners reflect on how they see themselves with this self-awareness lesson for kindergarten and first grade. Students talk about words and roles that describe them, take part in an interactive “Is That Me?” PowerPoint activity, and draw a picture representing themselves.

What’s included

• A lesson plan with an objective, materials, procedures, and a drawing-based assessment
• An interactive PowerPoint activity, provided in PPTX and PPSX formats
• A printable worksheet that prompts students to draw themselves and add things they like

How to use it

Begin with a class discussion: invite students to share words that describe them, such as roles, personality traits, or things they do. The lesson plan suggests recording their ideas on chart paper, then introducing the interactive activity. The activity is planned for about 15–20 minutes. Finish with the drawing worksheet as a chance for students to show how they see themselves.

This resource is designed for kindergarten and first-grade learners and can support a whole-class lesson or a school counseling session. The lesson plan also identifies self-awareness as its focus and includes the ASCA standard PS:A1.1. Chart paper and a marker are listed as materials to gather.

Skills and focus

Students practice describing themselves, identifying personal traits and roles, and reflecting on their own perspectives. The drawing prompt gives students a visual way to communicate about themselves and things they like. Use the discussion to build vocabulary and encourage students to share their ideas.

File and printing notes

The worksheet is printable. The interactive activity is supplied as PowerPoint files; choose the format that works with your presentation setup. The lesson plan and worksheet provide a guided, low-prep structure, with chart paper and a marker needed for the opening discussion.
