Students build a Lego creation using only ~15 pieces (trading with tablemates to communicate and collaborate), share their build with the class, then watch a series of Lego Movie clips paused for discussion — finishing by devising their own plan in groups of 3 to defeat President Business using their personal strengths.

Students pair up and silently mirror each other's movements, then watch a Mean Girls clip to unpack the reasons behind negative self-talk before completing a reflection worksheet and mindful breathing. They finish by watching a Kpop Demon Hunters clip and drawing their own "demon" that represents a personal insecurity they can turn into a strength.

Students build and share a Lego creation using only ~15 pieces (trading with tablemates), then watch a series of Lego Movie clips paused for discussion, and in groups of 3 devise a plan using their own strengths to defeat President Business before watching how Emmet's plan plays out.

Students mirror each other's movements silently in pairs, then watch a Mean Girls clip and a Kpop Demon Hunters clip to discuss negative self-talk and self-acceptance before writing a reflection worksheet and drawing their own "demon" representing a personal insecurity they can turn into a strength.

Students build a Friendship Web by tossing yarn across a circle while saying something positive about the person they throw it to, then watch a Charlotte's Web storytime video, color and cut out a farm animal to glue on a popsicle stick, and use their puppet to practice walking up to peers and asking them to play.

Students play Counting to 10 — working together as a class to count without overlapping or repeating numbers — then listen to a read-aloud of I Like Myself by Karen Beaumont, practice a guided mindful breathing minute, and complete an affirmation worksheet with a self-portrait to share with the class.

Students pass a ball around the circle, each sharing one kind action they can do that day while classmates cheer, then decorate a paper crown with drawings and words representing their own kind actions before wearing their finished Kindness Crown.

Students take turns walking around the circle in a Confidence Parade — striking a proud pose while classmates clap and cheer — then decorate a personal Confidence Certificate with their name and an affirmation about something they've accomplished to take home.

Students play the Partner High-Five Challenge — practicing a clap-then-high-five rhythm with a partner, adding speed and pattern variations before switching partners — then collaborate on a large butcher paper mural drawing scenes of friends helping each other, each signing their name on the finished "We Can Do It!" mural.

Students play the Mirror Game in pairs — mirroring each other's slow movements, then pairing affirmations with matching poses ("I am brave!" with arms raised strong) — then fill a heart worksheet with drawings and words about what they love about themselves.

Students dance freely during the Confidence Pose Parade (freezing in their strongest confident pose when the music stops), then play Bravery Freeze Dance — freezing in response to confidence challenges like "Freeze like a superhero!" — before taking turns leading the class in their own brave pose for everyone to copy.

Students draw and decorate a "Brave Brain" worksheet with things that help them keep trying (friends, practice, courage), then act out how to fix playful "oops" moments (spilled crayons, drew on the wrong paper) one at a time while the class cheers "We can fix it!"

Students strike "Confidence Poses" responding to fun prompts (brave superhero, proud artist, kind friend), then draw and decorate a "Confidence Juice Box" worksheet — filling it with the people, activities, and moments that make them feel strong and brave — and share one "ingredient" with the class at the end.

Students will learn what a compliment is, practice giving compliments to classmates, and notice how compliments can make a person feel valued. The class will build a paper chain of compliments together.

Each child makes their own paper flower with a picture of themselves in the center and one talent written on each petal. All the flowers come together to form a class "Garden of Greatness" on the wall—a visible reminder that every child brings something to the room.

Students will read Eloise Greenfield's poem "By Myself" and then create their own "I am" poems, building a list of words and phrases that describe who they are. Younger students can draw a picture instead of writing.

Students will be able to identify the people, places, and things they love — building self-confidence by recognizing the joy and goodness already present in their own lives.

Students practice self-awareness by checking in with how they are feeling right now and using colors, shapes, and lines to draw it. Sharing is invitational, and the activity builds the language and confidence to name big feelings.

Students will create a drawing or collage that expresses how they see themselves and how others see them — building self-confidence by giving voice to who they are on the inside.

Reflect on what types of statements energize and motivate them, create their own motivational self-talk statements and turn them into a book, and share and discuss their statements with classmates.
