Self Confidence Activities & Positive Self Talk Activities for The Smart Cookie

If a student says they’re just bad at this before trying, these Smart Cookie activities give your class a week of positive self talk. The five 15-minute SEL lessons pair the book by Jory John and Pete Oswald with read-aloud questions, a student journal and a home connection page. Thursday’s affirmations activity includes two worksheets and a speech bubble bulletin board! Use it for K-3 morning meeting, SEL time or a confidence boost before testing.

• Speech bubble board: Kids write affirmations for a bulletin board display.
• Five short lessons: 15-minute Smart Cookie activities on self confidence.
• Families too: A home connection page shares the week’s focus.
