Dependable December Wellbeing Club Planning

This is our Dependable December 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 find ways of being trustworthy and reliable

Our focus this month is on being dependable
Being dependable is essential for building trust and positive relationships, whether with friends, family, or within the wider community. When we are dependable, others can rely on us to follow through on our promises, which creates a sense of security and confidence. Dependable behaviour encourages accountability, showing that we are responsible and trustworthy, which strengthens both our connections with others and our own self-esteem.

Here’s what the Dependable December 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.

Dependable December is part of our wellbeing year calendar resources.

We also have a leaflet for Dependable December
