Welcome students and introduce the lesson. Use the Confidence Quest Script (#confidence-quest-script) to guide your opening. Icebreaker: Invite each student to share one thing they like about themselves. Keep the energy high and praise contributions.

Icebreaker continues here. Ask students: “What’s one thing you like about yourself?” Record quick answers on board to celebrate positive self-views.

Define self-esteem using slides 2–4. Ask: “How do you feel when you believe in yourself?” and “What can lower our self-esteem?” Note student answers on the board.

Highlight why self-esteem matters. Relate each point back to students' lives: schoolwork, friendships, and facing challenges.

Introduce the I Am Strengths Worksheet (#confidence-quest-strengths-worksheet). Explain the activity and modeling one example. Pair students for share-out.

Explain the Positive Self-Talk Game (#confidence-quest-game) and distribute Peer Compliment Cards (#confidence-quest-compliment-cards). Walk through one sample negative statement and reframe it. Encourage group collaboration.

Wrap up the lesson by inviting students to share their favorite positive phrase. Remind them to post their affirmation on the classroom confidence board daily.
