Accepting Challenges PowerPoint and worksheets
A PowerPoint presentation about challenges.
The presentation explains that every challenge comes with a reward and then gives some examples of these rewards. The presentation also talks about how we might feel when faced with a challenge and how we feel when we achieve a challenge. There are opportunities throughout the presentation for the children to discuss their own ideas about challenges.
This presentation could be used as an assembly or during a PSHCE lesson.
There are also 3 worksheets for children to complete as a follow up to an assembly or during a PSHCE lesson.
