Self-esteem and personal strengths are the focus of this printable awards activity, where children are invited to name the qualities that make them feel proud of being themselves.
The Just Being Me Awards Self-Esteem Worksheet for Kids is a printable activity designed to help children notice and celebrate the qualities that make them unique. Using an awards theme, pupils are invited to think about the personal strengths, kind choices, interests, talents and character traits that they would like to recognise in themselves. The blank certificate spaces can be completed with words, short phrases or drawings, making the worksheet accessible for children who express themselves in different ways.
This resource can be used in PSHE lessons, wellbeing sessions, counselling conversations, nurture groups, pastoral support or home learning. It works well as a calm starter activity, a one-to-one discussion prompt, a confidence-building worksheet or part of a wider lesson about self-worth, feelings, identity and positive self-talk. It can also support individual target-setting after completing the page. Adults can use the completed awards to open gentle conversations about what a child values in themselves and what others appreciate about them.
Teachers may choose to display finished sheets as a positive classroom activity, add them to wellbeing folders or use them during transition, circle time or reflection tasks. Parents and carers can print the worksheet for a simple at-home activity that supports children in practising encouraging language about themselves. Download, print and use it whenever a child needs a structured way to recognise their strengths. This resource was created by MyleMarks.com.
