To create an inclusive and supportive classroom environment, it is so important to make space for students to feel seen and heard. An "All About Me" activity is a popular way for students to share information with the class about themselves and their families, their likes, interests and hobbies in an effort to find commonalities and celebrate differences.
This activity combines students' love of social media with an All About Me activity by using the StoryboardThat creator to make a poster that looks like a social media page. Students can choose a fun handle, write a simple bio at the top and create up to 9 different scenes that describe their life and their different interests.
Students can think about the following questions as they create their scenes:

Student Instructions:
Assess each poster using a clear rubric with categories like creativity, detail, and self-reflection. Use specific criteria to provide fair, actionable feedback.
Outline the key elements you want students to include, such as a creative handle, detailed bio, and a variety of scenes. Share the rubric in advance so students know what success looks like.
Check that each poster has a handle, bio, and up to 9 scenes representing different interests or aspects of the student’s life. Ensure students addressed the guiding questions.
Highlight what each student did well and offer at least one suggestion for improvement. Encourage growth and celebrate unique ideas.
Invite students to share their favorite part of their poster and reflect on what they learned about themselves and their classmates. Promote classroom community and self-awareness.
A social media poster project for elementary students is an activity where students create a poster that looks like a social media profile to share information about themselves, their interests, and their families. It helps students express who they are while practicing digital literacy in a safe, creative way.
To create an All About Me social media poster with StoryboardThat, students select a character or symbol to represent themselves, add a handle and bio, and design up to 9 scenes that show their hobbies, family, favorite activities, and interests. The tool makes it easy to personalize each section and visually share details about themselves.
Great questions for an All About Me activity include: Who is in your family? What are your favorite hobbies or sports? Do you play an instrument? What is your favorite book or movie? What is your favorite school subject? These prompts help students reflect and share unique aspects of their lives.
All About Me activities foster a sense of belonging, help students feel seen and heard, and encourage them to celebrate both similarities and differences. This builds a supportive classroom environment and strengthens relationships among students.
