Optimistic October Bingo

Start October by encouraging pupils to look for the positives, notice opportunities and think about the things they can look forward to. Optimistic October Bingo is a simple wellbeing activity designed to encourage positive moments and help pupils develop a more hopeful outlook throughout the month.

The bingo sheet includes a range of easy activities for pupils to try, such as thinking of something they are looking forward to, noticing something good about their day,  trying something new, and thinking about a positive possibility for the future. As they complete each activity, they can mark it off their bingo sheet.

This is a lovely activity for use in ELSA sessions, wellbeing groups, nurture settings, classrooms or as a whole-school wellbeing challenge. It provides simple opportunities for pupils to practise positive thinking, recognise the good things happening around them and consider how they can approach everyday challenges with hope and encouragement.

A simple and accessible way to make October a little more optimistic, while helping pupils notice the positives and look forward to what’s ahead.
