All About Me on Pages – First Week of School Activity (Elementry)

Made with Pages on iPad

This fun activity is a great way for students to share about themselves, make new friends, and explore the Pages app. Students will take selfies, record their voices, and answer simple questions using text, shapes, and drawings. By the end, everyone will have their own colorful All About Me page!
