A very useful tool for this year’s Book Week theme is the site BuiLD YouR WiLD SeLF. Tips: The Wild Self can be printed out, sent to a friend, or saved as a desktop. Tag Archives: Build Your Wild Self BuiLD YouR WiLD SeLF. Older elementary students also enjoy working on this website, my students created a wild self for their safari passports for our book fair this week and really enjoyed it from kindergarten through fifth grade.

Nine skin tone options are available, along with three eye colors. Various animal adaptations can be added, including tails, ears, head gear, and faces. Users select their gender and then customize the avatar by choosing from numerous options. As they build their Wild Self they can name what animal the crazy part belongs to. BuiLD YouR WiLD SeLF invites students to create a self-portrait by mixing human and animal body parts. This is also a great site to use with kindergarten and first grade students who are learning about different animals.

How to integrate Build Your Wild Self into the classroom: This would be a great site to use with students after reading a book like “Where the Wild Things Are”. Kent shared this site with me this morning Build Your Wild Self. There are even fun sound effects for the different backgrounds they add! This would be a great starting point for information text writing or for creating a fact file. A super-fun and interactive way for children to create a wild creature made up of lots of parts of real animals. Students can choose a character and then add crazy hair, arms, legs, etc. Build Your Wild Self New York Zoo have a brilliant activity on their website called ‘Build Your Wild Self’. The site, created by the New York Zoos and Aquarium, lets students create a character called their “Wild Self”. It also includes animal sounds that bring another layer of enjoyment to the process. The site fits perfectly into my classroom this week as our Book Fair theme this year is “Safari”. Build Your Wild Self will engage children in a land of make-believe, allowing them to become a new kind of wild creature by adding their different animal features to a boy or girl body. What it is: Build Your Wild Self is a website I heard about on A Geeky Momma’s blog (which I thoroughly enjoy!).
