Pal Profiles

Learn about yourself and your friends with this fun activity sheet! Everyone is different, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be friends – we all share similar and different qualities. This is the perfect activity to accompany texts exploring friendship such as ‘Pearl Barley and Charlie Parsley’ by Aaron Blabey.
  • Step 1Download and print out the template provided. We suggest printing onto cardboard as this will provide a nice sturdy surface for decoration and assembly.
  • Step 2Decorate the template pieces using your favourite decorating materials. You may wish to use markers, paint or pencils. We have chosen to use watercolour paint. Don’t forget to add hair and facial features for you and your friend! Allow to dry if needed.
  • Step 3Cut out the template pieces around the dotted lines. Adult supervision is recommended when using scissors.
  • Step 4Before assembling your pieces, fill in the information about the qualities you share with your friend as well as the things that make you different.
  • Step 5Use a sharp pencil to create a hole in each of the ‘X’ marked spots on the template pieces. Align the holes and push a paper fastener through, bending the fastener open at the back to hold in place. The seesaw will now be able to teeter up and down.
  • Step 6Your Pal Profiles are now complete and ready to display!
