Self-Esteem

15-Page Building Self-Esteem Activity Booklet

This 15-page Building Self-Esteem activity booklet is designed to help children recognise their strengths, celebrate who they are, and develop a positive sense of self in a nurturing and empowering way.

Through gentle reflection, creative activities, and confidence-building prompts, children are encouraged to explore what makes them unique, what they are proud of, and how they can talk kindly to themselves. The booklet supports emotional well-being by helping children build resilience, self-belief, and healthy self-worth.

Inside the booklet you’ll find:

• “All about me” and self-identity pages
• Strengths and talents exploration activities
• Positive affirmations and kind self-talk prompts
• “Things I am proud of” reflection pages
• Confidence-building drawing and writing activities
• Support networks and trusted people pages
• Goal-setting and encouragement prompts
• Celebrating progress and personal achievements

This resource is ideal for:

• Children aged approximately 4–10 years
• Schools, ELSA sessions, pastoral support, nurture groups, and SEN provision
• Home use with parents and carers
• Children experiencing low confidence, anxiety, emotional challenges, or difficulties with self-belief

The booklet is print-friendly and can be used flexibly in short sessions or over time, allowing children to revisit activities as their confidence grows. It helps children understand that they are valued, capable, and enough just as they are, while encouraging a positive and compassionate view of themselves.
