📝 Part 1: The Basics – All About You!

Introducing yourself is easy when you know the right words! Here’s what we can say:

  • My name is… (Example: My name is Emma.)
  • I am [age] years old. (Example: I am 9 years old.)
  • I like… (Example: I like reading books.)
  • My favorite food is… (Example: My favorite food is spaghetti.)
  • I have… (Example: I have a brother and a pet cat.)

Want to see what a full introduction looks like? Here’s a sample!

Hi! My name is Lily. I am 8 years old, and I love painting and playing soccer. My favorite food is ice cream, and I have a little sister. I also have a pet dog named Max!

🔧 Part 2: Making Sentences Step-by-Step

Now let’s learn how to make sentences to share information about ourselves. Every sentence has three parts:

  1. Start with a subject – Who or what is the sentence about? (e.g., I)
  2. Add a verb – What are you doing or describing? (e.g., am, like, have)
  3. Include extra details – Describe with adjectives or specific words (e.g., small, favorite).

Here are some basic sentences:

  • I am [age] years old. (e.g., I am 10 years old.)
  • My favorite [thing] is… (food, color, sport, etc.) (e.g., My favorite color is blue.)
  • I have [family members or pets]. (e.g., I have a dog named Bella.)
  • I like [activity]. (e.g., I like playing games.)

👉 Activity: Write 5 sentences about yourself! Use these examples to help you get started.

🎉 Part 3: Fun Activities – Let’s Get Creative!

🎲 Activity 1: “Draw and Tell”

Draw a picture of your favorite hobby, food, or pet. Underneath, write a few sentences about it! For example, if you draw a soccer ball, you could write: “I like playing soccer. It is my favorite sport!”

🎨 Activity 2: “Create an All About Me Poster”

Design a colorful “All About Me” poster! Add sections for your name, age, favorite food, hobby, and a family member or pet. Use bright markers or colors to make it stand out. Try sharing it with a friend or family member!

💬 Activity 3: “Introduce a Friend”

Think of a friend and pretend you’re introducing them to someone new. Write 3-5 sentences about them using the words you’ve learned. Example: “This is my friend Tom. He is 10 years old and loves to play guitar. His favorite food is spaghetti, and he has two brothers.”

🔍 Part 4: Review and Reflect

Let’s take a moment to look back on what we’ve learned today! Think about these questions:

  • Was it easy to talk about myself?
  • Did I learn any new words?
  • What would I like to add to my introduction next time?

🔎 Quick Self-Check:

In your sentences, did you use:

  • A subject (like I or my)?
  • A verb (like am, like, or have)?
  • An adjective (like favorite, big, or small)?
