Support children in developing emotional awareness and encouraging open conversations about wellbeing with this colourful Mental Health and Wellbeing Check-In worksheet.

This child-friendly resource provides a gentle opportunity for pupils to pause and reflect on how they are feeling, what is going well, what may be challenging and what helps them feel better. It also encourages children to identify trusted adults and people they can talk to when they need support.

The resource includes:

• Mood check-in with a range of feelings
• Emotion identification activity
• Space to reflect on what is going well
• Space to identify current challenges
• Strategies that can help children feel better
• Trusted people and support network activity
• Open-ended space for additional thoughts
• Positive wellbeing reminder

Perfect for:

• KS1 and KS2 pupils
• PSHE lessons
• Mental health and wellbeing
• Emotional literacy
• Pastoral support
• Daily or weekly check-ins
• Morning activities
• Classroom wellbeing
• Transition and back-to-school activities
• Calm corners
• Pupil support
• One-to-one conversations

This low-preparation resource can be used as a regular wellbeing check-in, a PSHE activity or as a starting point for supportive conversations with pupils. The open-ended sections allow children to write or draw, making the resource accessible to different ages and abilities.

It is designed to encourage children to recognise and communicate their feelings while reinforcing the importance of seeking support from a trusted adult when needed. It should complement, rather than replace, appropriate pastoral, safeguarding or professional support.
