Garden of Joy Visualisation - Elsa Support

Garden of Joy Visualisation

Our Garden of Joy Visualisation is a simple, guided activity for children aged 5 to 11, designed to help them explore happiness and gratitude through their imagination. By creating their own Garden of Joy, children reflect on positive memories, practice mindfulness, and discover how to share their inner joy with others.

This resource includes an additional worksheet where children can draw their own Garden of Joy, bringing their visualisation to life. It’s a creative way to reinforce positive thinking and provides a personal keepsake they can revisit whenever they need a boost of happiness.

Whilst perfect for starting the new year, this visualisation can be enjoyed at any time to encourage calm, emotional resilience, and a focus on the good in life. Ideal for classrooms, wellbeing clubs, or even quiet moments at home, it’s a versatile resource to brighten a child’s day and nurture their mental wellbeing.

Instructions for the Garden of Joy Visualisation and Worksheet

  1. Introduce the activity as a way to create a special Garden of Joy.
  2. Guide the child or children through the visualisation script.
  3. Provide the worksheet and explain that they can draw their Garden of Joy.
  4. Encourage them to include the flowers and other features they imagined.
  5. Reflect together on what they’ve drawn and how it made them feel.

Simply print both sheets and you have an activity perfect for brightening up their mood.

Throughout January we are focusing our resources on our Wellbeing Calendar. January’s theme is Finding Joy. You can of course use this resource throughout the year.

"They are bright and colourful, easy to use, cheap (as I pay for them myself) and easy to dip in and out of when you need to mix and match resources for bespoke sessions. They are just great and I don't know how we'd all manage without you Debbie! Thank you x"
