Climbing to Confidence

Help children celebrate their strengths and build self-esteem with our Climbing to Confidence worksheet! Designed for children aged 5–11, this fun and reflective activity guides them to think about what they are good at, what makes them proud, and the qualities that make them unique.

Using a “ladder” format, children complete each rung with sentence starters such as “I am good at…,” “I am proud of…,” and “One of the best things about me is…” This structure encourages reflection while keeping the activity simple and achievable.

Benefits:

• Boosts self-esteem and positive self-image
• Encourages children to recognise their own strengths
• Supports emotional literacy and self-reflection
• Provides a creative, engaging, and child-friendly way to think about personal achievements

Perfect for circle time, or any moment when children need a confidence boost, this printable can be completed independently or with support.
