Welcome to Self-Care Check-In!

Introduce the session with a friendly welcome. Explain that the cards are about taking care of ourselves and that we will have fun learning how to feel our best every day. Use simple language and encourage the children to participate.

Clean and Fresh!

These cards focus on personal hygiene. Read the card aloud with the children and encourage them to share what they do to stay clean. Use gestures (pretend to wash) to illustrate the activity.

Yummy, Healthy Food!

Discuss healthy eating and drinking. Simplify the language: explain that healthy food helps our bodies run like super engines. Engage students by asking about their favorite healthy snack.

Rest and Move!

Touch on rest and activity. Use visuals like a sleeping face and a walking figure. Explain that sleep helps us grow and that walking helps us feel strong.

Feel Good, Share Good!

Address emotional and social well-being. Explain in simple terms that sharing smiles, hugs, and kind words makes us feel better. Use examples like hugging a friend or giving a compliment.

Let's Take Care Together!

Conclude by encouraging the children to take their time for self-care, reminding them that even small actions like dancing or resting help us feel good. Invite answers or simple actions.
