How to use this worksheet: Tips for parents & teachers

1. Give each student a copy (or send digitally) and gather colouring tools—crayons, markers, pencils.

2. Invite them first to colour the scene however they like—bright colours, soft pastels—anything that feels joyful.

3. Then pause: ask them to think: “What made my day good?” It could be something small (sunshine, playing, helping someone) or big.

4. Encourage sharing: after writing, invite students to read or talk about what they wrote. This helps build confidence and social connection.

5. Optionally, follow up by revisiting the worksheet: Did anything else good happen later?
