Peer Pressure Support Pack – Item 686

This is our Peer Pressure Support Pack which also supports our resources for Friendly February.  In February, at Elsa-Support we are focused on helping pupils with their friendships and connections. Peer pressure and Peer influence can be a big part of this.

This pack  is designed to help pupils understand and navigate the complex world of peer relationships. This comprehensive resource includes peer pressure scenarios, positive peer influence scenarios, supporting worksheets, and discussion question cards. This provides a well-rounded approach to this important topic. Please see our images to understand what is included.

The pack features a variety of realistic peer pressure scenarios that pupils may encounter in their daily lives. These scenarios encourage pupils to reflect on how they might respond when faced with difficult choices. This fosters critical thinking and decision-making skills. Alongside these, our positive peer influence scenarios highlight the importance of encouraging and supporting friends to make good choices. This demonstrates how peer influence can be a force for positivity and growth.

Supporting resources within the pack include worksheets that allow pupils to explore their own experiences with peer pressure. Activities such as writing or drawing their feelings, considering how they responded, and reflecting on what they might do differently next time help build self-awareness and resilience.

Our question cards stimulate meaningful discussions about peer relationships, prompting pupils to consider their own behaviours and the impact they have on others. Questions explore topics such as recognising peer pressure, standing up for oneself, and being a positive influence, encouraging pupils to think critically and share their perspectives.

This support pack provides ELSAs, teachers, parents, and caregivers with practical tools to guide pupils in developing the confidence to make independent choices while fostering positive peer relationships.
