Proud to be me foldable self-esteem activity

Every child is unique and special. Help build their self-confidence and self-esteem with this foldout activity, where pupils reflect on what makes them proud to be themselves. Use this fun alternative to a worksheet as part of a self-esteem or an upper KS1/lower KS2 PSHE lesson that will leave kids glowing with self-love and confidence.

This printable activity has 14 face templates with different hairstyles (and a girl wearing a hijab). Each is included with and without a rectangle outline to make the activity more accessible for those children who might struggle to cut around the outside of their template.

Pupils start by colouring their template to look like them.

Each template asks children to fill in the following with words and pictures:

-3 positive words that describe me (there is a word bank to help with this one).
-I am good at…
-I feel proud when I…
-I am a good friend because…

These prompts are not editable.

Print the templates you need on paper or card. Make sure you have lots of coloured pencils, particularly in skin tones. Pupils will need scissors but glue/tape are not required.

A folding guide is included. You’ll also find separate files with US and UK paper sizes/spelling.
