Welcome students and introduce the focus on self-care categories that help us recharge. Explain that these slides will guide them through definitions and examples. Encourage note-taking and participation.

Define self-care and stress how it’s not selfish but essential. Invite a student volunteer to paraphrase the definition.

After presenting examples, pause and ask: “What’s one physical activity you enjoy that helps you feel energized?” Record responses on chart paper.

Ask students to share an emotional self-care activity they’ve tried. Highlight the importance of naming and processing feelings.

Encourage students to suggest social activities that help them feel connected. Emphasize balance and healthy boundaries.

Prompt students for creative self-care ideas. Note how creativity can be calming and expressive even in small moments.

Invite students to reflect: Which category resonates most with you? Ask them to call out examples and write them on chart paper under each category.
