This free worry worm craft is the perfect activity for the back-to-school season. I love being open to talking about worries from day 1 with my students.. I feel like it shows them that I’m there for them and I’m listening to what their worries are… And taking them seriously too.
I started doing this worry worm craft after I noticed more and more students were feeling worried and anxious about starting a new school year. And I figured, since it has been so successful with my students.. Why not share it with my readers too?
What’s Included?
In this free download you’ll find a ZIP file. When opening this, you’ll get a PDF file with the following pages;
- Worry worm poem and a space for students to draw a picture of them and their worm. There is also room for students to name their worm too.
- Visual instructions for students for how to put the craft together.
- Worry worm craft template; students decorate, cut out and stick together to create their own worry worm.
Where to Download
You can download this craft for free here.
If you want to use this before the start of school, meet the teacher night is perfect for this craft too! Have your students make their own worry worm during the night.. And then they can take it home with them. Students can keep hold of their worry worm for the remainder of summer. This can help prepare them for their first day of school.
