Back to School Activity - Hashtags Get to Know You First Day Digital Assignment
Kick off the year with a high-interest digital back to school activity that taps into something your students already understand—hashtags and social media updates. In this creative first-day assignment, students share meaningful details about themselves by responding to specific hashtag categories. In this fun activity, students craft short social media-style updates that reflect their interests, values, experiences, and personality. This format feels modern and relatable, helping students feel more comfortable opening up while giving you valuable insight into who they are. When completed, the finished pages make an eye-catching and conversation-starting bulletin board display that helps build classroom community right from day one.
This is a digital resource, and students complete all the work on the computer. This works well with distance learning, 1:1 classrooms, remote teaching, Google Classroom, or online education.
