What am I?
Looking for a fun and structured way to help your kindergarten, Grade 1, or Grade 2 students learn how to write information reports? Our free “What Am I?” worksheet is a fantastic tool to introduce young learners to the basics of report writing using familiar and engaging animal or insect topics.
​
This resource is designed to help students think about the types of facts and details that are included in a good information report. Instead of jumping straight into a big writing task, students are guided to answer six simple questions that help them build a solid foundation for informative writing.
​
What’s Included?
The What Am I? worksheet includes the following six questions for students to answer about their chosen animal or insect:​
-
How many legs do I have?
-
How many eyes do I have?
-
What colour am I?
-
What do I eat?
-
How do I move?
-
Where do I live?
These prompts encourage students to focus on factual, descriptive information, just like in a real report. By thinking through each question, students begin to learn how to organise information clearly and logically.
Creative Extension
At the bottom of the page, there is space for students to draw a picture of the animal or insect they are describing. This creative element makes the activity fun and engaging, while also helping visual learners express their understanding in a different way.
