About this resource

What's inside this resource

The All About Me Puzzle is an ideal back-to-school artistic activity designed to help students get to know each other and create a vibrant bulletin board display. By connecting individual puzzle pieces, students will collaboratively build a yearlong class puzzle.

This resource includes:

  • Printable and editable "design by code" student puzzle templates in two sizes.

  • A key for display.

  • A teacher guide.

  • "About Us Puzzle" lettering for showcasing the finished pieces.

Each puzzle template is divided into sections with a number code guiding students on what to include:

  1. Student’s Name

  2. Age or Grade

  3. Favorite Movie or Book

  4. Hobby

  5. Dream Vacation

  6. Favorite Summer Activity

  7. Future Job

  8. Favorite Food(s)

The EDITABLE PowerPoint can be customization with different topics. The only rule is no white space, ensuring each piece is bold, bright, and full of words and drawings. This activity encourages students to express their creativity and personalize their puzzle pieces.

Once completed, these puzzles become instant displays for bulletin boards, hallway banners, cupboards, and more, creating a community collaborative display. As new students join, they can add their pieces to the growing class puzzle. The resource includes the necessary lettering to complete the display.

  • Student Puzzle Templates: Large and small sizes with directions and number code (Editable in PDF for printing and PowerPoint for editing)

  • Key: For hanging next to the puzzle display (Editable in PDF for printing and PowerPoint for editing)

  • "All About Us" Puzzle Lettering: PDF format for easy printing, including letters and puzzle accents
