Self-Esteem Lesson Plan and Activities K-2
These activities focus on helping students understand self-esteem and kickstart their self-assurance development. By highlighting their positive qualities, students can reframe challenging situations, reinforcing their belief in their abilities and intelligence.
While some students may enter school with strong self-esteem, others may lack social-emotional support at home. Educating students on self-esteem and empowering them to reshape their thoughts can prepare them to handle various challenges both in and out of school.
During this lesson, students will identify aspects they admire about themselves, using these traits to navigate tough situations more effectively. Additionally, through a supplemental story, students will discover how another student used self-appreciation to transition smoothly to a new school, reducing feelings of unease.
This resource is ideal for:

- Including in homeschool life skills curricula.

- Providing easy substitute lesson plans.
Valuing your time, this resource demands minimal preparation, allowing for swift implementation with its print-and-go convenience. It covers standards, worksheets, discussion points, and a full lesson plan.
