Strengths Quiz

Help pupils explore their personal strengths and recognise positive qualities in themselves and others with this fun and engaging Strengths Quiz. This simple activity encourages children to read each clue carefully and think about which strength is being described.

The quiz includes seven different strengths: kind, courage, curious, empathy, honest, fair and loyal. Each strength has its own clue, giving pupils an opportunity to think about what that quality might look like in everyday life.

Talking about strengths can be a lovely way to support self-esteem, emotional wellbeing and positive self-awareness. The activity can also encourage children to notice and appreciate strengths in the people around them, helping to develop positive relationships and social and emotional skills.

This resource includes:

• 7 strengths to identify
• A clue for each strength
• A simple, child-friendly quiz format
• Opportunities to discuss strengths and positive qualities
• A useful activity for exploring self-awareness and emotional wellbeing

This strengths quiz for children can be used as a standalone activity, during an ELSA session, as part of a lesson about strengths and self-esteem, or alongside other activities exploring emotional wellbeing and positive relationships.

It is a simple way to get children talking about the qualities that make people unique and to help them begin to recognise that everyone has their own strengths.
