Activities to Promote Self-Esteem

Topic 4 Page 11

1) It's Okay to be Different
Read the book It's Okay to be Different, by Todd Parr to your class and discuss why it’s okay to be different from everybody else.
Available on Amazon

2) Collage of Me
Gather magazines, scissors and glue and allow children to cut out images that represent their likes, hobbies, or things they are good at. After they cut out the pieces, they can glue them to a piece of paper and add drawings and doodles to complete their collage! You can adapt this for any age group.

3) Turn to Your Neighbor
Design a simple teambuilding or cooperative exercise for the entire class to participate in. This can be as simple as a game of Hot Potato, or Duck, Duck, Goose! After the activity, instruct the children to turn to their neighbor and give them a compliment.

4) Sing a Song
Special Me (tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star)
Special special special me
How I wonder what I'll be
In this big world I can be
Anything I want to be
Special special special me
How I wonder what I'll be
