Description
Back to School Student Learning Style Inventory : Color by Number
This super-colorful Back to School Learning Styles Inventory activity is a great way to learn about your students and build community. It’s a fun, creative, color by number activity! This is the perfect Back to School activity that allows students to visit 14 questions/cards, color, answer questions about themselves, use their creativity and find out about their learning style. Students will learn if they are a Visual Learner, Auditory Learner or Kinesthetic Learner.
Every student is different! At the beginning of the year it is helpful for a teacher to understand the learning styles of their students. This will allow you to differentiate instruction and create and environment for all types of learners. Individual learning styles influence the way a student understands information and solves problems.
This product includes:
Teacher Directions
14 Question Cards with “color” answers (See preview for examples)
Coloring worksheet
Learning Style Reflection Worksheet
Learning Style Analysis – Colorful for teachers to display or one page black and white
Bonus coloring page- structured for younger students
When the activity is finished, I collect the designs and display their art on the bulletin board for Open House or Parent Night. I also use their designs to start a class discussion about their results/reflections.
