Student worksheet What others value in me
Cards to cut out and hand round: each classmate writes something they value in someone else. Reading what others see in us builds self-concept and a kind class climate.
Kind self-talk
Everyday thoughts such as “I always get it wrong” or “everyone does it better than me” to change for kinder, more realistic ones: “it went wrong this time, next time I will try another way”.
Gratitude, achievements and goals
A week-long gratitude journal, the things we are proud of and a goal broken into small steps, with a box to tick as each step is done.
Frequently asked questions about self-esteem worksheets
Which ages are they for?
Ages 6 to 16, in three stages: ages 6 and 7 with pictures and few words, 8 to 11 with short sentences and 12 to 16 with more reflection.
Is there an answer key?
No. These are reflective worksheets: each child writes about themselves and there are no right answers. The emotions and emotional regulation worksheets go well with them.
Are they suitable for children with low self-esteem?
They are practice material for PSHE and support sessions. They do not measure self-esteem or replace professional help when it is needed. There is more in the learning support worksheets.
How do I use the cards for classmates?
Print one sheet per pupil, cut out the cards and have each child write one for every classmate in their group. Read them before handing them out so that every message is kind.
