This triorama activity is designed for elementary school students as a creative and engaging way to introduce themselves at the start of the school year. Each student builds a small three-sided diorama that highlights their personality, interests, hobbies, goals, and favorite things.

The project encourages self-expression and helps foster a sense of community within the classroom.

Ideal for back-to-school, this resource can be used as a standalone “About Me” project, part of a classroom display, or as a tool for presentations and class introductions. The open-ended format allows students to use drawings, clipart, or small craft items to decorate their trioramas, making it adaptable for various grade levels and art abilities.

In addition to creative expression, this activity supports skills such as planning, organization, spatial reasoning, and oral communication (if presented). It also helps teachers get to know their students in a meaningful way while promoting student voice and confidence.

No advanced materials or prep is required—just basic supplies like paper, glue, scissors, and coloring tools.
