Welcome to the Confidence Carnival!

Introduce the Confidence Carnival. Share a brief warm welcome and explain the purpose of the day's activities. Engage students with a question: What makes you special?

Our Carnival Journey

Provide an overview of the lesson plan. Highlight the exploration of personal strengths and the fun carnival stations that will follow.

Step 1: Discover Your Strengths

Explain the first activity: self-reflection. Instruct students to complete the 'Activity Sheets for Strength Exploration' in pairs or small groups.

Step 2: Explore Carnival Stations

Introduce the carnival stations. Explain how each station focuses on different strengths (e.g., creativity, kindness, problem-solving) and how the rotation will work.

Step 3: Celebrate & Reflect

For the group reflection, encourage students to share one discovered strength. Reinforce that every individual's qualities add to the strength of the whole community.

Keep the Carnival Alive!

Close the session with an inspirational message. Encourage students to keep exploring and celebrating their strengths every day. Remind them that the carnival continues in their hearts.
