How many positives class activity

The activity will encourage children to recognise how positive thinking can help us feel better, and how we can sometimes get into patterns of negative thinking.

Using this resource

This resource is designed for:

• children aged 5 to 11
• use with small groups or whole classes

The resource includes instructions for staff, template 'badges' for children to fill in, and guidance around safeguarding.

When delivering the session, staff should make sure to contextualise the activity, reassuring children that having negative thoughts or low moods is perfectly normal and not something to feel guilty about; but that positive thinking can be a useful self-help technique.
