Inner Self and Outer Self Portrait
Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher
"Inner Self and Outer Self Portrait" is written for Kindergarten (Ages 5-6). It also works a grade below or above: younger children can use it with an adult reading it aloud, and older ones as a quick refresher.


Children draw how they look on the outside and what they love, think and feel on the inside, then finish two sentences. Part of our self portrait activity packets collection.
How do I use this resource?
This works well in the first weeks of school or during a unit on feelings and identity. Show a quick example of your own before kids start. Hand out mirrors for the outer side so the details are real. Display the finished portraits side by side and let classmates guess whose is whose. At home, it is a gentle way to hear what your child thinks about themselves, so ask about the inside half first.

Can I use the Inner Self and Outer Self Portrait at home and in the classroom?
⌄
Yes. We made it for Kindergarten activity packets, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.
How many Kindergarten self portrait resources are there?
⌄
1 printable resource, free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.
What age are self portrait resources for?
⌄
These are written for Kindergarten students, roughly ages 5-6. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.
Can I use these self portrait resources for homeschool?
⌄
Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a Kindergarten classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
