Children are to match unhelpful thoughts with the corresponding helpful grounding thought. This activity will help to encourage children to reframe thinking patterns from negative to positive.
We all have thoughts. Some thoughts are “helpful”. They make us feel confident, happy and brave. Some other thoughts are “unhelpful” and they can make us feel worried, nervous, sad or angry.

When we teach mindfulness to children, we are equipping them with the tools to help manage stress and approach life’s challenges.
Mindfulness can help to shape key critical skills that are developed in early childhood. These include the ability for children with attention to task and retain information, shift between tasks and displaying appropriate behaviours. These abilities are known as executive functions and they are essential for more advanced tasks like planning, reasoning, problem-solving and developing social relationships.
So why not give our children the best head start by teaching them all about mindfulness and how they can practice mindfulness and gain the benefits. This “Mindfulness Portfolio” includes everything that your students will need to get started on their mindfulness journey.
This portfolio is divided into six individual lessons. You can choose to use each lesson in isolation or scaffold through the lessons one by one. The six lessons include:

This is a fun, engaging, creative and non-threatening intervention which is great for students to explore emotional regulation, anger management, reflective practice and self care.
What to do?
1.Encourage students to explore each of the 24 realistic scenarios on each page and reflect on how that scenario would make them feel. This also encourages empathy, compassion and consideration into the feelings and actions of others as they resonate with each scenario.
2.The next step is for the students to explore the “Anger Management Strategy Ingredients” list and tick what anger management strategy they could or would employ and use for that particular scenario. This helps students to reflect, explore and gain insight into their own feelings and behaviours.
3.Students then put those ingredients into the “blender” which is located on each page to cement the lesson. There are 24 visuals for already developed anger management strategies which students can utilize. There are an addition 12 blank visual cards for students to explore some of their own individual and unique self-care strategies that work for them.
4.Lastly, students can create a name for that particular anger management smoothie. This heightens the learning outcomes and students become more likely to explore and employ these anger management strategies within their everyday life.
NOTE – There is a COMPLETED example page so students can see this resource in action!
This lesson helps students personify and project their grief onto their own monster that they create with the therapeutic aim to reflect and gain insight. This intervention asks students to create a representation of grief and give it a name. By externalizing grief, it becomes something that they can deal with and manage. It is no longer an abstract idea that they have no control over. It becomes manageable.
Everyone grieves differently and experiences different emotional reactions. Some may not want to discuss while others may want to share memories of their loved one. Therefore, it is important to allow every individual to express themselves as much as they feel comfortable doing so. This activity supports the individual to do this.
This therapeutic intervention requires the therapist to be very curious and unconditionally accepting of the Grief Monster that the student creates and imagines. Remember the vital role of empathy and at the end of the intervention sincerely thank the student for sharing what their grief looks like as a monster to support integration. Further discussion ideas for integration might include exploration of the themes and trends that arise during this intervention.

School readiness refers to whether a child is ready to make an easy and successful transition into school. The development of school readiness skills allows school teachers to expand and further develop a child’s skills in the specific areas of social interaction, play, language, emotional development, physical skills, literacy and fine motor skills.
Without these basic skills already established upon entry to school, children can very quickly find themselves playing ‘catch up’ compared to their peers that are advancing more quickly. This is a great 12 page handout which explores various building blocks which are important for school readiness. These include areas such as self regulation, sensory processing, receptive and expressive language, executive functioning, personal selfcare, social skills, mobility skills, concentration and attention. This resource includes a letter to parents to explain that although these school readiness skills are great, they definitely not the be all and end all.
