Ambitious August Wellbeing club planning

This is our Ambitious August Wellbeing club planning.

Many of you are running wellbeing groups at lunchtimes and after school. You will find lots of resources to help you do this from our free resource section.

Of course you could also use this planning as part of your ELSA role too. They could even be used whole class if needed. Give the link to your teachers!!!

Each month I will release a month’s worth of planning with links to resources that you can use. The planning will be released before the beginning of each month to give you chance to gather the resources.

Objective for sessions: To set achievable goals

Our focus this month is on being ambitious. We believe that setting and achieving goals is crucial for personal growth and happiness. Through creative activities like crafting vision boards, designing achievement badges, and affirmation bracelets, we aim to inspire and empower children to dream big. Each session will end with a mindfulness activity to foster a positive and focused mindset.

Here’s what the Ambitious August session looks like:

1. Welcome and Feelings Check-in: Start by asking pupils how they’re feeling, and they can pinpoint their emotions using the chart you’ll print out.
2. Main Activity: These are all hands-on. Activities such as  crafting, drawing, movement or colouring. Plus, there’ll be minimal writing involved.
3. Relaxation: Wrap up with a calming activity to ease pupils back into their routine. It’s the perfect way to transition back to class smoothly.

Ambitious August is part of our wellbeing year calendar resources.

We also have a leaflet for Ambitious August
