TEACH KIDS ABOUT POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS WITH THESE FUN FORTUNE TELERS

Children love using this fun positive affirmation activity.  After all, what kid do you know who doesn’t love a good old fashioned fortune teller?  Your students will  be super engaged as they put together and play their very own unique game!

First, students will refer to the list of the top 50 kid-friendly positive affirmations that’s included in this resource.  Second, they will identify 8 of the most helpful and meaningful positive affirmations.  Then they will write them down on one of the templates.   Next, students assemble their fortune teller, which involves following directions and using other executive functioning skills.  And last but not least, they get to play!  Best of all, when students use their fortune teller, they get to practice using positive self-talk, which is a critical social emotional skill.  In short, your students will be begging to play more, all the while building a skill that will help them to cultivate self-compassion.

Kids loved making their own fortune tellers. I even had students that were not in class the day we did this come to me later in the week and ask if I would make one with them. They loved picking out their quotes to use.

I used this as a “getting to know you” activity. The kids were able to choose which fortune teller they wanted to use. After going around the room once, with each kid reading the affirmation back to their partner, the kids loved it so much that they wanted to make a different one They really loved it when they could choose their own affirmations to put in the fortune teller.
