A set of 15 Christmas puzzles. All you need is a die to play.
10 puzzles have questions on the back so you have 60 questions about Christmas and 5 puzzles are blank on the back so you can create your own questions.
These are great for warm ups or filling in a few minutes during the Christmas activities. If you group a few puzzles together then you could play as a group and children could try and make a puzzle each. There could be co-operation skills with trading pieces with each other to make their puzzles.
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.

Lots of children suffer from low self-esteem and this workbook has 25 activities to help them grow their self-esteem. When children have low self-esteem it can stop them doing things, due to fear of failure, thoughts maybe very negative and they might criticise themselves, they might struggle with friendships, are quiet, lack confidence and perhaps don’t feel very happy a lot of the time. It can massively affect well being.
Hopefully this book will help them discover they can do lots of things, be positive, have friends, speak out, know their strengths and feel happy!

The idea of the friends display is that you choose either one or two different skills to learn that week or that session. Children can write or draw when they showed that skill, they can learn new vocabulary around that skill and you can take photographs of them catching them using that skill. This will be a changing display with new posters and children’s work changing as necessary.
