Collage of Remembrance

Time: 10 minutes

Materials Needed: magazines, personal photos, stickers, colored paper, scissors, glue, a blank sheet or canvas.

Steps:

1. Gather & Select: Flip through magazines or photos and choose images, words, or colors that remind you of positive memories with your loved one.
2. Arrange & Glue: On your blank sheet, arrange your selections into a collage. There’s no right or wrong way—let your intuition guide the layout.
3. Reflect As You Create: Notice any thoughts or emotions that arise as you work. If you feel comfortable, quietly name these feelings.
4. Pause & Discuss: Once your collage feels complete, take a moment to observe it. What stands out to you most? What feelings does it evoke?
5. Optional Notes: Use the space below to jot a few words about your collage and how it made you feel.

Keep this collage somewhere safe. You can revisit it whenever you want to remember the good moments and connect with your feelings.

Emotion Tracking Sheet

Reflect on the emotions you experienced during today’s session. For each emotion, rate its intensity from 1 (low) to 5 (high) and brainstorm a healthy coping strategy you could use when you notice this feeling in the future.

You can add more rows if needed. When you encounter these emotions again, refer back to your strategies to support your well-being.

Affirmation Card Craft

Time: 5 minutes

Materials Needed: Printed affirmation card template, colored pencils or markers, stickers, washi tape, and any other decorative supplies.

Steps:

1. Distribute Templates: Give the student one or two blank affirmation card templates.
2. Brainstorm Affirmations: Invite them to think of 3–5 positive statements about themselves (e.g., “I am strong,” “I am creative,” “I am worthy of love”).
3. Write & Decorate: Have the student neatly write each affirmation on a card. Encourage them to personalize it—add doodles, color borders, or stick on decorations.
4. Reflect on Each Statement: After writing, prompt the student to choose their favorite card and say it aloud once—noticing how it feels to affirm themselves.
5. Keep & Use: Suggest they place their cards somewhere visible (mirror, locker, journal) and read them whenever they need a confidence boost.
