ELSA SUPPORT - Affirmation Cards for young adults/adults - PSHE, Self-esteem

(0)
The word affirm means to ‘state something that is true’. Affirmation cards have simple but positive messages that help to develop a person’s sense of self. When used regularly it is hoped that the positive message will be absorbed and a person will become more positive in their outlook in life. They will really begin to believe the statement that they are working on. The message needs to be realistic and very simple. Although I have called these ‘ADULT’ they really are for anyone. My other cards have characters on them and these are character free. All these cards begin with the words ‘I am’ and are very simple but achievable statements for all. Included in the pack: 25 Affirmation cards – 4 to an A4 page 25 Affirmation cards – 2 to an A4 page 25 Affirmation cards – 1 to an A4 page Blank Affirmation cards – 4 to an A4 page Tips booklet
Christmas Express yourself Social and emotional

Christmas Express yourself Social and emotional

(0)
Express yourself Art Doodling is a series of prompts for drawing and some colouring too. Children get so much from drawing. It is a way of self expression and self exploration. Children relax when drawing and are much more open to talking about their feelings. This booklet can be printed as A4 and stapled together or as A3 to give children more room for drawing. You could also just dip into the sheets and print the one you want to use. You could use the same sheet for the whole group or whole class of children. The booklet has purposely been created in black and white so as not to distract from the child’s drawings and of course to save printing costs. There are 40 activities in the booklet with a Christmas/Winter theme. I am sure children will get a lot out of the booklet and it will give you valuable information about their thoughts and feelings. It can also be used as a ready made lesson plan for one to one work or group work. Please ensure you use ADOBE to open PDFs because this will give you great options for printing.

The worry worm booklet is useful for them to write those worries down. Once they have written or drawn their worry they can let it go. The types of worries that the pupil should be encouraged to write down are those worries not in their control. This might be a ‘What if?’ type worry. There are some handy reminders each using ‘worry’ as a mnemonic.
