Please ensure you round off the corners for safety. Children can either use a whiteboard pen to choose the thumbs up or thumbs down, or they could use a peg and peg to the correct answer. An alternative would be for them to give the actual hand signal to you. So a thumbs up if correct and a thumbs down if incorrect. Choose the Feeling game There is a game board included so a simple game can be played. This is better for a small group of children. Give each child their own counter.

Grab yourself a lovely little set of emotion fans. These will appeal to young children especially if they like unicorns!

Show them how you deal with your emotions so they are set a good example.

They can draw a comic strip of what happened. (Template 2) Use the cards as a prompt for circle time. Each child to decide whether they think the statement is kind or unkind. Prompt them to give a reason why. ‘10 kind things I can do’ –Pupils can create a list of 10 things they could do to be kind. (Template 3) ‘Kindness Challenge’ – a simple diary entry each day, listing acts of kindness. (Template 4) Play a simple board game. Stack the cards where indicated. Use a counter to move around the board. Use a die to roll a number. Move that number of places. If they land on a thumbs up (Smiley face) or thumbs down (Sad face) they pick a card.

This Healing Steps Grief intervention covers six sessions and is written for a ‘Grief Group’ but also including planning for delivering to one child. This intervention is written for a group of four pupils (but there is planning for one to one working) and is led by an ELSA or teaching assistant. It covers emotions, relaxation and support around grief. This is an ‘activity’ based intervention and the stages of grief are not covered. It is meant for pupils to support each other and take part in activities to allow them to share their feelings and make themselves feel more able to cope. The pupils will take one step at a time and heal a little bit along the way. Animals will also be covered in this intervention because quite often the first loss a pupil experiences is a pet. Pupils will work together in a group which will give them a sense of belonging. It will also help them support each other. Sometimes it is easier to deal with your grief if you know that others are also experiencing similar feelings to you. The sessions will last for approximately one hour. All my interventions follow a similar structure: Welcome and emotional register– welcome the pupils to the group, go over the circle time rules and talk about how they feel today. Warm up – pupils really respond better if they have had chance to warm up and feel at ease by playing a game or activity. Activity – this is where the pupils work on the learning objective. Relaxation/Mindfulness – pupils are more ready to go back to class if they are relaxed and calm. Review of the session – pupils talk about their learning experience and colour in the appropriate ‘step’ at the back of their booklets. There might also be something to find out for next time or something to think about or do. The paper resources come in booklet form. There are also some additional templates and you will need some bubbles for each child, drinking straws and water or juice, whiteboard, colouring pencils, scissors and glue. Included in the pack: Group planning for six sessions Individual planning for six sessions Pupil Memory Booklet Pocket template Flower template Memory cube and accompanying sheet Relaxation cube and accompanying script Circle time rules Memory Questions Self care prompts Emotion fans Feelings of Loss poster
