- Grades 1 and 2: Hold a friendship week. Each day gets a new picture, such as the high five on Monday and the kids holding hands on Friday, with one kind act to try.
- Grades 3 to 5: The two people talking picture helps with speaking and listening. Fill the bubbles with a polite request and a reply, then let pairs act it out.
- Middle school: The earbud friends and the group work table fit advisory slides about teamwork and group roles.
For a family focus during the same unit, add pictures from our family clipart page.
Printing People Clipart for Boards and Cards
Each PNG is 1000 pixels square, good for about 3 inches of sharp print at 300 dpi. For a bulletin board, the silhouettes hold up best at larger sizes because they have no fine detail to blur.
To make a border, paste the chain of five people into a long landscape page three or four times, nudging each copy so the hands nearly meet. Print on bright paper and trim the strip along the top of the heads. For cards, the sticker and cute styles look best printed on matte card stock.
If a picture shows a white patch in your file, set the image wrap to in front of text. Read more in our make a PNG transparent guide.
