Children's Mental Health Week Know Yourself Reflections

This is our Know Yourself Reflections activity for Children’s Mental Health Week 2025

Our Know Yourself Reflections Sheet is a simple and fun tool for children aged 7 to 11 (or older) to explore what makes them unique. This resource encourages children to think about their proud moments, strengths, likes, and feelings, helping them develop self-awareness and confidence.

By reflecting on who they are and what they enjoy, children can better understand themselves and build a strong sense of identity. This sheet is perfect for classrooms, wellbeing activities, or home use, offering a creative way to encourage positive self-reflection and meaningful conversations.

Use this resource to help children celebrate who they are and recognise what makes them special!

Pupils can enjoy colouring in the little characters and shapes whilst talking about the different areas. Simply print out onto A4 and use with your children.
