Students fill out this worksheet on their first day! Make sure to know where the months, foods, colors, sports and animals are in the back of their textbooks because it will be really handy to them. You'll probably have to help students with translating very obscure animal names.
If students finish early, let them color the worksheet!
My JTE hung these worksheets outside of each of the classrooms, and then made an activity where students have to find other students with the same birthday, favorite animal, etc. It was a lot of fun!
This uses the font that goes with the New Crown textbooks. If you don't have it, I recommend changing the font to something you like!

I plan to combine this with the Friendship Snowball activity also on this site! They seem to pair well for an introductory class.
