World Mental Health Day: 20 wellbeing tips
To help every teacher and every classroom participate in World Mental Health Day 2021, we have compiled a list of some simple wellbeing activities and tips – including ideas suggested by teachers across the UK.
Pick an activity from the list to do today, or run one a day in the week leading up to World Mental Health Day.
Each activity suggestion is short and simple to introduce to your school - from ways to improve the classroom environment, get children learning about feelings and emotions, or introduce space for mindfulness into the school day.
