Ways to use the cards

- In the Classroom:

Start the day with a “Daily Affirmation” where each child picks a card to read aloud. Use them in circle time discussions to promote self-awareness and kindness. Create a positive mindset / happy thoughts classroom display. Incorporate them into mindfulness activities, encouraging children to take deep breaths while repeating a chosen statement.

- At Home:

Place them in a morning routine basket for a daily confidence boost. Encourage your children to pick a card before school to set a positive tone for the day. Use them as bedtime reflections to end the day with a sense of gratitude and self-worth. Display on a mirror or fridge as gentle reminders.
