Ideas for a Pre-K Yearbook

The end of pre-kindergarten is a big milestone in a small child's life, as they will soon be moving up to the big leagues: kindergarten. Help the children celebrate and look back at pre-kindergarten by having them creating yearbook. A yearbook for children this young doesn't need to be elaborate. Keep it simple by making construction paper yearbooks that the children can fill with pictures, artwork and happy memories of pre-kindergarten.
  1. Pictures

    • Include pictures of each student in the first few pages of the yearbook. Help the children personalize their yearbooks, by cutting out a picture of themselves and pasting it on the front cover. Have the children draw or decorate around their picture with markers and crayon or by placings stickers around it. Also, include pictures of activities the children did throughout the school year. Make enough photocopies of pictures so that each child can put as many as they would like in their book.

    My Favorite Pages

    • Provide worksheets for the children that says what their favorite things are in different categories. The worksheet can include sentences such as, "My favorite color is," "My favorite school lunch is" and "my favorite classroom activity is." The children should then draw next to each line what their favorite thing is. Paste the worksheets after the school pictures in the yearbook.

    Art Work

    • Include several pages of each child's artwork in the yearbook. Have the children draw a picture of themselves to include in the yearbook, as well as a picture of their friends or yourself, the teacher. Another idea is to have the students create a collage of their favorite things using children's magazines. Include some of the artwork the children created throughout the year, as well, in order to see how their art skills have progressed.

    Thumbprint Page

    • Most of the children will not likely be able to write their name out fully at this age level, but if they can, they can sign their classmates' yearbooks on the back page. If not, have each child pick a color to dip their thumb in and "sign" yearbooks with their thumb. If two or more children want the same color, try to use different shades of the same color, such as dark blue and light blue so that everyone can have a distinct thumbprint.
