What makes me Twinkle and Shine? – Item 528

What makes me Twinkle and Shine?

This is a self esteem activity for children. What sort of things help them to twinkle and shine? What dulls their shine?

Included in the pack is an image of a sparkly star and dull star on A3 paper. There are also pockets that you can attach to each star. Pupils will explore scenarios of what helps to increase their self esteem and what decreases their self esteem. There are 64 scenario cards which pupils can read through with help and put into the correct pocket. This gives lots of opportunity to discuss each one and why it might increase or decrease self esteem. Included in the pack are also blank cards for writing or drawing so pupils can personalise the things that increase their self esteem and things that decrease their self esteem.
