Let’s Look at Self-Esteem for Kids

This cloze-style worksheet aims to help children explore and enhance their self-esteem by reflecting on positive affirmations and completing sentences that encourage self-affirmation. In this worksheet, students will complete sentences about their strengths and traits at school, at home, and what they think their friends would say are their strengths.

By incorporating activities such as this worksheet into your social emotional lessons, you can help children identify and celebrate their strengths which can be a powerful tool to encourage a healthy self-concept, foster resilience, and equip children with the confidence they need to navigate the challenges.

How to Use this Self-Esteem Worksheet

For students who grasp this concept quickly, or need additional challenges:

• Ask them to create artwork or illustrations that complement their affirmations, making it a creative self-esteem exercise.
• Explore deeper topics related to self-esteem, such as self-acceptance, resilience, and handling self-doubt.
