Description

Ladybird Healthy Mind: Identify 5 things that make you special.
Ladybird Arts and Craft: Craft of your choice.


Resources

Long strips of paper, pencil, glue or tape, any decoration items (like glitter, sketch pen, paint etc).

Instructions

This activity is a great and simple way – that incorporates an element of arts and craft as well – in getting the Ladybirds to identify and understand things about themselves that make them special and unique. This forms an integral part of both self-awareness and self-compassion which are pivotal in attaining the Ladybird Healthy Mind Badge’s objective of ‘developing a happy mind’, as well as in their long-term mental health progress.

Urge the Ladybirds to think about what kind of character traits male them special and unique. In case they have trouble articulating these traits, spend some time talking to them in order to help them verbalise their thoughts.

Using long strips of paper, instruct the Ladybirds to write and decorate each strip with a positive sentence about themselves. Then, tightly roll each strip of paper around a pencil, securing the strip together with glue or tape at the end. Once they have created a handful of positive rolled paper beads, the Ladybirds can make necklaces, banners, or decorations to remind them what makes them special. The Ladybirds can also decorate these further with paint, crayon, or glitter to enhance their creativity further.

Encourage them to go back to these mantra paper beads in the form of necklaces/banners/decoration, whenever they feel upset or discouraged to remind themselves of their special traits. Also, encourage them to read out loud these traits to each other as a way to spread positivity and joy among them.
