What can we use if we don't have a mirror or colouring materials?
If you don't have a mirror, use a front-facing phone camera or any shiny surface like a spoon, and if colouring materials are missing use crayons, markers, colored pencils, stickers, or draw with a pencil on plain paper or cardboard.
My child mumbles or freezes while practicing in the mirror — how can we fix that?
If your child mumbles or can't read their own words during the mirror practice, have them rewrite the name and sentences in big, dark letters as in Step 4, practice one sentence at a time from the paper, and record a practice on a phone to play back for clearer delivery.
How can I adapt this activity for younger or older kids?
For younger children, let them draw their name, age, hobbies, and fun fact and have an adult write the two short sentences, while older kids can expand the sentences with details, practice the full introduction three times in the mirror with different tones, or time themselves for a polished delivery.
How can we extend or personalize the introduction before sharing on DIY.org?
Decorate the paper to match the hobbies from Step 6, add a small prop or a photo, rehearse gestures while looking in the mirror, and consider recording a short video of the final introduction to upload to DIY.org.
