🟡 SOCIAL STUDIES (40 Lessons) • 🟡 A. Me and my identity

← Back to Level 1

Objective

I can say my name, share some things I like, and talk about what makes me special.

Materials

Mini-lesson — Who am I?

Every person is special. You are you. No one else in the world is exactly the same as you.

Things that help answer "Who am I?"

  • Your name and how you like people to say it.
  • Things you like, such as colours, games, or foods.
  • Things you are good at, like drawing, running, or helping.
  • Words that fit you, such as kind, curious, or friendly.

Kind identity sentences

  • "I am [your name]."
  • "I like ...."
  • "I am good at ...."
  • "I am a kind friend."

Everyone is different

  • We do not all like the same things.
  • We may speak different languages at home.
  • We may have different hair, skin, and eye colours.
  • We can still be friends and show respect.

It is important to know and say what you like about yourself in a kind and respectful way.

Guided Practice — My "About me" page

You will make a simple "About me" page to show who you are.

  1. At the top of the page, write: "Who am I?"
  2. Draw a picture of your face and body. Add your hair, eyes, and a favourite shirt.
  3. Under your picture, write or trace: "My name is _____ ."
  4. On one side, write or draw "I like _____ " (for example, a game, animal, or food).
  5. On the other side, write or draw "I am good at _____ " (for example, drawing, building, helping).
  6. At the bottom, add one kind word about yourself, such as "kind", "helpful", or "curious".
  7. Practise reading your page aloud to an adult using full sentences.

Tip: As you trace each word, say it out loud in a full sentence, such as "I am kind."

Practice — Who am I? circle share

Use your "About me" page to share one or two things about yourself in a kind way.

  1. Sit in a small circle with an adult or with your family.
  2. When it is your turn, hold your page and say: "My name is _____ . I like _____ . I am good at _____ ."
  3. Listen carefully when others share. Show respect by looking at the speaker and staying quiet.
  4. After each person speaks, you may say one kind sentence such as "Thank you for sharing" or "I like that about you".
  5. At the end, tell an adult one thing you are proud of about yourself.

Quick Check — Who am I?

Answer each question about kind identity, respect, and fair choices. These questions do not judge families, languages, or culture. Everyone is different in a good way.

1) A friend tells you their name. What is a kind reply?

We greet people with kindness.

2) Which sentence tells something kind about yourself?

Identity should not hurt others.

3) A friend likes a different game than you. What should you do?

Different likes are part of identity.

4) Someone speaks a different language at home. What should you do?

Languages are part of identity. We respect them.

5) Three children want the same crayon. What is fair?

Fairness helps everyone feel included.

6) A classmate is shy about sharing. What can you do?

Kind listening helps others feel safe.

7) Which respectful identity sentence is correct?

Identity should be kind, not comparing.

8) Someone shares about their family. What can you say?

We respect all families.

9) When someone shows their drawing, what should you do?

Listening shows respect for their identity.

10) Why is it good to learn about who you are?

Knowing yourself helps you choose kindness.
