Boosting Self-Esteem One Heart at a Time!

A teacher has designed this lovely activity to spark a little love and boost the self-esteem of the students in your class. Whether you are currently focusing on this topic in your social-emotional lessons or you feel like your class needs a little boost – this activity is exactly what you need in your kit of feel-good resources! 

Also, why not incorporate this activity during your Valentine’s Day celebrations?

In pairs, students take turns picking up a coloured cut-out heart and then responding to the prompt that corresponds to that coloured heart. Prompts featured in this self-esteem activity include:

• Share a time you felt proud of yourself.
• Share something you are grateful for.
• Share something you like about your friend.
• Tell a short story about a good memory you have with someone you love.
• Give your friend a compliment.
• Share one thing you like about yourself.
