So you want to get to know the teacher this year, eh?
Or maybe you just want to know what you kind of gift you should be getting for her/him around the holidays?
Whether you’ve signed up to be a room parent or not, teacher questionnaires are a great way to get an idea of what gifts he/she actually wants to receive. When Christmas, teacher birthdays, and Teacher Appreciation week rolls around, you’ll know exactly what to get!

When to Use a Teacher Questionnaire
Hands down, my favorite room mom responsibility is getting the chance to spoil my daughter’s awesome teachers. I typically like to send out a printable teacher survey (some parents call them “All About You” or “Teacher’s Favorite Things” forms) at the beginning of the year.
We have a few printable teacher questionnaire templates here on the blog:
All questionnaires shown above are FREE inside the Resource Library. But, if you don’t have time to send out a printable, an email template is perfect for you!
Teacher Questionnaire Email Template
If there’s no time (or no ink in the printer) for a printable teacher questionnaire, this email template works great in a pinch! In fact, all you need to do is copy and paste this template into your email, fill in the blanks, and send it over to the teacher. Bam. Done.

Feel free to add/delete items from this list to fit your specific teacher as needed. For male teachers, I would replace “Favorite Flower” with “Favorite Sport” and possibly add a line for “T-Shirt Size.”
You can also choose your own questions from this huge list of 101+ favorite things questions.
