FAQs
What if I can’t find anything starting with B?

Or consider bringing Letter B Coloring Pages instead! You may also like to check out Show and Tell Letter C or Show and Tell Letter D for more ideas!
How long should my show and tell presentation be?
Aim for 3-5 minutes for your presentation. Any longer and you risk losing the audience’s attention. Practice ahead of time!
Is it okay to bring a live animal or pet for show and tell?
Live animals are usually not allowed due to potential disruptions or allergies. Check with your teacher first before bringing a pet.
What if I get nervous or forget what to say?
If you get nervous, take a deep breath and remind yourself this is just a casual sharing activity. Having notes or props can help jog your memory too.
Can I bring snacks or treats for the class?
Snacks or treats are typically not allowed during class time. However, your teacher may allow something small and mess-free to share at the end if you ask ahead of time.
