When a child needs a quick emotional check-in at the start or end of the day, My wellbeing adventure check-in gives them a simple, visual way to share how they are feeling. It is especially suited to primary school children, younger pupils, anxious children, and kids who find it easier to circle, draw or write rather than explain everything out loud.
The printable worksheet is set out as a wellbeing adventure with eight short prompts. Children can add the date, circle a face to show whether they feel happy, calm, okay, sad or worried, choose an energy battery from full of energy through to very tired, and identify people in their “crew” who help them feel safe, happy or supported.
Several sections focus on practical emotional awareness and coping. There is space to record one good thing from the day, draw or write anything that is worrying them, think about what could help or who they could talk to, and choose one small goal. The final rating scale asks children to mark how they are doing overall, from needing support to feeling amazing.
Parents, carers, teachers, school counsellors, ELSAs, pastoral staff and child therapists could use the sheet for morning check-ins, end-of-day reflection, therapy sessions, nurture groups, transition support or calm-down time. The mix of drawing prompts, simple words and visual choices makes it useful for children who may struggle with longer feelings worksheets, mood trackers or wellbeing journals.
The adventure theme keeps the activity approachable without making the questions feel too clinical. It can support conversations about feelings, worry, self-esteem, support networks and coping strategies, while giving adults a clear snapshot of how a child is managing on a particular day.
