Transition self-portrait activity with glasses template
This transition self-portrait activity is a brilliant way to help children express their personalities and settle into their new class. Designed for EYFS, KS1 and KS2, the printable glasses template encourages pupils to draw themselves and share what makes them unique.
Use this engaging transition worksheet at the end of the school year or on the first day back in September. It’s ideal for transition day, getting-to-know-you tasks, or building a classroom display that celebrates individuality. Pupils draw their own face and fill the glasses with things that represent them – such as favourite books, hobbies or goals for the new school year.
This transition self-portrait activity supports pupil wellbeing, helps reduce first-day nerves, and provides a useful insight into each child’s interests and confidence levels. It’s quick to print, easy to use, and works well in any year group.
Perfect for transition displays, pupil profiles or as part of your start-of-year activities.
Finished portraits make a brilliant classroom display and help teachers get to know their pupils quickly and meaningfully.
