What children can do
Offer the page privately as one optional way to draw or write, without requiring children to disclose feelings or share completed responses. There is no need for every child to produce the same response or finish at the same time.
Educational possibilities
Use Strength Shield Worksheet – Discover Your Strengths Activity to support private reflection, strengths language, communication choices and recognising available support. These are opportunities an educator may notice and extend; the worksheet is not a test and does not guarantee a particular outcome.
Prepare the invitation
Print only the number likely to be used and keep blank paper beside it. Add pencils, crayons, markers or the specific materials shown on the page. Preview the wording, images and download before the session. For cutting activities, prepare tools and supervision according to your service procedures.
A useful activity sequence
- Explain the purpose of the page and that children may skip any question.
- Offer drawing, symbols, private writing or a general fictional example.
- Keep completed responses with the child unless safeguarding procedures require action.
- If a child starts a conversation, listen without interpreting the artwork or promising secrecy.
- Close by identifying ordinary support choices available in the service.
Adapt participation
Use emotion picture cards, sentence starters, drawing-only responses or a fictional character instead of personal disclosure.
Extend the learning
Create a general support menu, strengths card or calming-choice poster that can be used without naming individual children.
Educator prompts
- Would you like to use a real or imaginary example?
- Which support choice could help the character?
- Would you like to keep this private?
Printing and pack-down
Use A4 at actual size or fit to the printable area. Greyscale is suitable unless colour carries information. Return reusable tools, recycle clean scraps and give children a named place for unfinished work without displaying it automatically.
