Me in Five Words: Describe Yourself Worksheet
Fifth graders choose five character traits that describe them, from a word bank of sixteen (curious, loyal, determined, adventurous and more) or their own, and back up each word with a reason and a real example from their life. Two closing boxes ask for a word a friend would use and a word to grow into this year. It practises character-trait vocabulary and giving evidence, the same skill kids use when they describe a character in a book.

About this worksheet
Fifth graders choose five character traits that describe them, from a word bank of sixteen (curious, loyal, determined, adventurous and more) or their own, and back up each word with a reason and a real example from their life. Two closing boxes ask for a word a friend would use and a word to grow into this year. It practises character-trait vocabulary and giving evidence, the same skill kids use when they describe a character in a book. Fifth graders, about ages 10 to 11, answer in full sentences, so the page also works as a first writing sample.
Tips for using it
- Model it first: fill in a copy about yourself on the board or under the document camera, then hand out the sheets.
- For pre-K and kindergarten, read each prompt aloud and let children answer with a drawing; write their words under the drawing for them if they ask.
- Date every page and file it. A September page next to a June page shows growth in drawing and handwriting better than any report card.
- Print the pennant and the poster on card stock so they survive a few weeks on the wall.
Printing tips
Download the PDF and print at 100% (or “fit to page” on A4). It is a vector file, so the lines stay sharp on any printer. This page is free for personal, family and classroom use.
