Emotional Wellbeing and Reflection Activity As a learning mentor, I’ve struggled to find age appropriate wellbeing resources to use with my middle and high school students - most seem to be tailored to little ones. This resource focusses on how young people feel about common school and home issues. Included in this resource: 16 situation cards - cards describing specific situations at home or school e.g. friendships, bullying, learning, home life etc. A positive emotion fan set (including seven feelings fans) A negative emotion fan set (including seven feelings fans) How to use: Students pick a situation card at random and read it e.g. Situation Card 15: You see another student being bullied at break time. You are in two minds what to do, as you were previously quite close with the group doing the bullying Students then pick whether they feel positive or negative about this. They pick up either the positive fan set or the negative fan set Students then choose one or two specific emotion fans from the set e.g. Disappointed and Vulnerable You can then talk to your students why they would feel this way and explore these feelings deeper The resource comes with full instructions. There will be some American spellings in this resource. I find this resource to be interactive, conversation prompting and accessible to middle and high school learners.

Emotions and Feelings Dice Game How to play . . . There are three cubes: Scenario Time Emotion You roll all three cubes at the same time. This will give you a scenario (e.g. you are with friends, with family, at school etc.), a time (today, yesterday, this year etc.) and an emotion (happy, angry, let down etc.). Students can talk about a memory or experience linked to that specific scenario, time and emotion. For example, the result of one of the rolls may lead to a discussion around . . . A time at school last year where they felt angry about a situation. Why this game is useful . . . This game supports conversation around previous lived experiences and emotions attached to these. It is a good way of aiding a child or young person to reflect on both positive and negative memories both historical and recent. I have used this game in mentoring sessions with vulnerable children. It has been helpful in broaching conversations around the past and offers some structure and focus. I have found that the game element and physical rolling of the cubes encourages engagement more than worksheet or written resources. There will likely be American spellings in this resource.

Tip - whilst the child is matching the dominoes, it’s a great opportunity to ask about their feelings and memories linked to a particular emotion. They make good talking points and are useful to structure a conversation. A4 Editable Print ready Engaging There may be some American spellings in this resource.
