Welcome to Our Hive – Back to School Getting to Know You Activity

Build classroom community from Day 1 with this fun Welcome to Our Hive Back to School Getting to Know You Activity! 🐝

This no-prep Google Slides activity gives students—and their teacher—a fun way to introduce themselves, discover common interests, and begin making connections during the first days of school. And if you love a cute bee theme, this one is for you!

Students create their own All About Me slide by adding a photo, fun fact, favorites, and information about themselves. When everyone is finished, bring the slides together to create your class “hive!”

This resource includes:

• Welcome to Our Hive cover slide: Add student names beneath the bees and customize the teacher name, grade, school, and school year. You can even add your Bitmoji!
• Student All About Me slide: Students add a photo, fun fact, and favorites.
• Bio option: Students can also write a short bio about their family, pets, hobbies, interests, and more.
• Editable slide: Create your own customized version.
• Ideas for sharing and using the completed slides with your class.

Display the finished presentation as a class, let students explore it independently, or share it with families during Back-to-School Night or Open House.

It’s a simple way to help students get to know one another, find things they have in common, build friendships, and create a strong classroom community from the very beginning of the year.
