Who am I? A back-to-school guessing game that gets your class laughing and connecting from day one.
This Back to School Guess Who activity is a fun and interactive printable for Australian primary school students in Years 1–4. Students complete a "guess who" card about themselves — interests, favourites, physical clues — and then the class tries to work out who each card belongs to. It's a brilliant community builder for the first days of term that sneaks in some great reading and writing practice too.
Aligned to the Australian Curriculum English strand, this no-prep print-and-go activity is ready the moment you download it.
Why teachers love it:
-
Instant engagement — the mystery element hooks even the most reluctant participants
-
Community building — students learn something new about every person in the room
-
Writing practice embedded — completing the card supports sentence writing and personal description
-
Completely flexible — use as a whole-class activity, small group, or morning warm-up
Perfect for:
- Years 1–4 Australian primary classrooms
- First day and first week back-to-school activities
- English speaking, listening and writing tasks
- Classroom community and relationship building
What's included:
A printable Guess Who student card template with prompts for students to complete. Designed for individual use, then shared with the class for the guessing activity.
