I’m thrilled to present the All About Me Unit Study—an engaging, hands-on unit study that will guide your children in discovering more about themselves, their families, and what makes them truly unique.
Did you know that the word ‘unique’ is derived from the Latin word unicus, meaning ‘one and only?’ Have you ever wondered what life would be like without a name? That is only the beginning! Get ready to dive deep into what it means to be ‘you’ through playful, inquiry-based, hands-on fun!
What is a Family Unit Study?
But first… what exactly is a Family Unit Study?
This unit study, like all of our ever-growing library of unit studies, takes one big topic—All About Me—and breaks it down into ten manageable, bite-sized learning topics. This format gives you the freedom to dive into learning at a pace that works for your family.
Perhaps you do one area per day, perhaps one per week. Whatever suits your fancy! You can learn and explore from start to finish in about 1-2 hours per bite-sized learning topic.
Each of the ten topics included with a unit study contains everything you need for that topic, including:
- a curated YouTube video,
- suggested information to read,
- a “what’s happening” section,
- an interesting fact,
- a discussion question,
- literacy and math extension questions,
- and an ultimate-can’t-be-beat hands-on activity!
Dive in and watch the sparks of wonder ignite. Watch the child-led learning take off. Watch what happens when children are engaged in what they are learning!

All About Me Unit Study
Let’s take a closer look at the 10 topics included with All About Me:
Topic 1: What’s My Name?
Names are more than just words—we carry them everywhere we go! In this topic, your child will explore the meaning and importance of their name. Then, they’ll get some cursive writing practice with a fun and beautiful cursive writing name art project.
Topic 2: Who is in My Family?
From parents and siblings to grandparents and cousins, family comes in all shapes and sizes. Your little learner will discover how everyone’s connected—and then build their very own Family Tree using a printable included. It’s a beautiful way to celebrate the people who love us most.
Topic 3: Where Do I Live?
Let’s zoom out from your front door to the whole wide world! In this topic, kids learn about their home, neighborhood, city, and beyond. They’ll make a “Where Do I Live?” flipbook, practice writing their address, learn how to mail a letter, and even send one to a friend!
Topic 4: What is My Phone Number?
Ever wondered how phones actually work? In this playful topic, kids will learn how to make a phone call and why knowing a phone number is important. Then it’s time for a fun phone number wall bounce memory game to help them memorize their own or a loved one’s number.
Topic 5: What Do I Look Like?
We all look a little different—and that’s what makes us amazing! Your child will explore their unique features and interests, then put it all together in a vibrant self-portrait that celebrates their one-of-a-kind self.
Topic 6: I Am Special!
What makes your child shine? Whether it’s sports, music, drawing, or being a great friend, we all have special talents. In this topic, kids will explore their hobbies and strengths, then write a creative acrostic poem all about what makes them… them.
Topic 7: How Can I Stay Healthy
There are many things you can do to keep your mind and bodies healthy. In this topic, you will get to learn about what it means to keep yourself healthy and enjoy a fun science experiment, creating elephant toothpaste.
Topic 8: My Talents
Time to shine! Whether your child is a future rockstar, comedian, or world-class cookie baker, this topic helps them recognize their talents and plan a mini talent show for family and friends. Don’t forget the applause!
Topic 9: When I Grow Up!
Dream big! What do your child’s interests say about their future? From astronauts to zookeepers, kids will explore possible careers, then turn their findings into a fun and inspiring “When I Grow Up” poster.
Topic 10: I Am Unique Scrapbook
Time to pull it all together! In this final project, kids will gather everything they’ve created from Topics 1–9 to make an “I Am Unique” Scrapbook—a keepsake that celebrates who they are and all they’ve learned.
And there you have it—10 exciting topics that make up our All About Me Unit Study! It’s the perfect way to build confidence, strengthen family bonds, and help your child explore their world.
