I can’t wait to use this in Sept for back-to-school and help students get to know each other. I like the various options available; it’s very creative. I like both versions: find someone who “LIKES” and “HAS”. And I like that there’s also a blank version.

This “Get to Know Your Classmate” worksheet was the perfect activity for the first week of school! My students enjoyed learning about each other, and it helped build classroom community right away. The directions were clear, the design was adorable, and it required no prep, just print and go! I’ll definitely use this again next year. Thank you for such a thoughtful resource!
