Print this on A3 paper and laminate the game. For the game you will need counters and a dice. The children sound out and blend the word that they land on.
A perfect way to display the Wellbeing Indicators to ensure you and the pupils are reminded of them to allow for effective classroom practice.
Wellbeing (SHANARRI)
Using the GIRFEC principles, the approach to considering children’s wellbeing should be rights-based, strengths-based, holistic and adaptable enough to take account of stage of development and the complexity of each child or young person’s individual life circumstances.
Practitioners and organisations should consider each of the eight wellbeing indicators (SHANARRI) in collaboration, with children, young people and their family.
Safe – growing up in an environment where a child or young person feels secure, nurtured, listened to and enabled to develop to their full potential. This includes freedom from abuse or neglect.
Healthy – having the highest attainable standards of physical and mental health, access to suitable healthcare, and support in learning to make healthy and safe choices.
Achieving – being supported and guided in learning and in the development of skills, confidence and self-esteem, at home, in school and in the community.
Nurtured – growing, developing and being cared for in an environment which provides the physical and emotional security, compassion and warmth necessary for healthy growth and to develop resilience and a positive identity.
Active – having opportunities to take part in activities such as play, recreation and sport, which contribute to healthy growth and development, at home, in school and in the community.
Respected – being involved in and having their voices heard in decisions that affect their life, with support where appropriate.
Responsible – having opportunities and encouragement to play active and responsible roles at home, in school and in the community, and where necessary, having appropriate guidance and supervision.
Included – having help to overcome inequalities and being accepted as part of their family, school and community.

Week 1: Introduction to Colour Theory Objective: Students will understand the basics of colour theory and how it can be applied to create art.
• Introduce the primary colours (red, blue, yellow) and secondary colours (purple, green, orange).
• Discuss complementary colours (opposite on the colour wheel) and how they can be used to create contrast.
• Provide examples of art pieces that demonstrate colour theory principles.
• Students will create a colour wheel using the primary and secondary colours and label them.
Week 2: Introduction to Perspective Objective: Students will understand the basics of perspective drawing and how to create the illusion of depth in art.
• Define perspective drawing and provide examples of art pieces that use this technique.
• Teach the basic principles of one-point and two-point perspective.
• Demonstrate how to draw simple objects (e.g. boxes, cylinders) using perspective.
• Students will practice drawing simple objects using perspective.
Week 3: Introduction to Still Life Objective: Students will understand the basics of still life drawing and how to accurately represent objects in a composition.
• Discuss the concept of still life and provide examples of still life art pieces.
• Teach the principles of proportion, shading, and composition.
• Demonstrate how to draw a simple still life composition.
• Students will create their own still life composition and draw it.
Week 4: Introduction to Sculpture Objective: Students will understand the basics of sculpture and how to manipulate materials to create a three-dimensional art piece.
• Discuss the concept of sculpture and provide examples of sculptural art pieces.
• Teach the basics of sculpture materials (e.g. clay, paper mache, wire).
• Demonstrate how to create a simple sculpture using the chosen material.
• Students will create their own sculpture using the material provided.
Week 5: Introduction to Printmaking Objective: Students will understand the basics of printmaking and how to create a print using a variety of techniques.
• Discuss the concept of printmaking and provide examples of printmaking art pieces.
• Teach the basics of printmaking techniques (e.g. relief, intaglio, screen printing).
• Demonstrate how to create a simple print using the chosen technique.
• Students will create their own print using the technique taught.
Week 6: Final Project Objective: Students will use the skills and techniques learned throughout the previous lessons to create a final art project.
• Allow students to choose their preferred medium (drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking).
• Encourage students to use the principles of colour theory, perspective, still life, and sculpture in their final project.
• Provide feedback and support as needed.
• Students will present their final project to the class and discuss their inspiration and artistic choices.
