This is a Christmas compliments cup activity.
Pupils can send a cup to someone special to give them a compliment. You could also use the cup without the poem for pupils to write their own little poem or message. Just delete the text if want to do that. You could also use it to put on the front of a Christmas card. They could also collect compliments using a plain heart. You could make a different message. This would work well for a group circle time activity.
All the text is editable in PowerPoint. Great for our Welsh ELSAs to translate if they want to.
To edit just click on the text and type. This font has been embedded in the file.
Once you have edited the resource, save it and then save it again as a PDF file. You can now print your cups.
There are 7 different Christmas mindful backgrounds and 1 cup that is blank so pupils could decorate themselves. This one could mean that you could use this at any time of the year, not just Christmas. Pupils will enjoy the mindfulness of colouring their cups.
You will receive a PDF file if you just want to use it as it is and a PowerPoint file if you want to change the text.
The poem is my poem and copyright to me so please do not alter or change this in anyway. You can obviously write your own poem or message if you want to edit it.
Benefits of this activity:
Mindfulness and being absorbed in the present moment
Thinking of others
Giving to others
Thinking of nice things to say to others

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
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.
This is a set of Emotion Dominoes for working on facial recognition, labeling emotions and general chat about emotions. You can use them as a traditional domino game or just match them as an activity.
There are 90 dominoes covering 12 different emotions/feelings/conditions.
These mindset conversation cards will help pupils to learn what a growth mindset is. You could use these during circle times to discuss or use them one to one with a child who needs a bit of help with growth mindset.
Turn one over and discuss, you could even focus your lesson on one of the cards. You could give them a card to take away if you feel they need a reminder or perhaps even build a keyring of cards to take away for pupils to read often to remind themselves.
These are suitable for practically all age groups. There is a set with the image of the brain and a set without any clipart.
There are 48 cards in the pack.
A set of 20 self esteem posters aimed at self-esteem. They are all set to print as A3 but of course you could make them print smaller if you want to using ADOBE print settings.
The print quality is excellent so you can really blow them up if you want to using poster settings on Adobe.
Great for discussion during circle-time or just have them up in your room to remind children of how wonderful they are.
This is a worry worm booklet and poster. Lots of children have worry worms. They are usually crocheted or knitted. Often there is a little poem attached. They are to help pupils let go of their worries. The pupil can talk to their worm and tell it all about their worries. The idea being that the worry worm will hold onto it,so the pupil doesn’t have to. They can let it go. To decide on which worries should be told to the worm it is helpful to look at the Worry tree
My idea for this resource was to have somewhere to put those worries. 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.
Included in the pack:
A3 Poster in colour
Booklet in colour
Booklet in black and white
‘I am worried about ‘page with lines for writing
‘I am worried about’ page blank for drawing
