Back to School Passport: First Week & Settling In Activity
The ‘Back To School Passport’ is the PERFECT activity for supporting your class with settling in upon returning to school.
It encourages children to complete different activities to get to know other children and their new classroom environment all whilst earning a stamp/sticker/smiley face in each box.
This is a passport-themed resource bound to engage all children. There are a mixture of activities from speaking to your new teacher, asking someone new to play at break-time and reading your first book of the year!
This is ideal for building connections, relationships and social skills at the start of the new school year.
How could this resource be used?
- To support with moving year groups.
- To support children to build a relationship and positive bond with their new class teacher and each other.
- To encourage children to feel part of a new classroom climate and community.
