Week 2

Week 2 leans into connection, confidence, and emotional literacy through quick, joyful routines. You’ll open with Heads and Tummies, a fast group energiser where students choose simple gestures, try to match peers, and celebrate every success, perfect for practising attention, body awareness, and positive social cues without any elimination. From there, The Best Me Today invites each learner to set one small, meaningful goal (e.g., listening, sharing, helping) and visualise how it will feel to succeed. Expect easy wins, regular check-ins, and rich language around pride and effort. Explicit modelling, visual prompts, and alternative gestures ensure both Levels A–D and F–3 can participate confidently.

Feelings Hopscotch combines movement, emotion naming, and expression. Students hop/step (or use a tabletop/marker version) through an emotions grid, acting out feelings and building empathy by copying and cheering their peers. You’ll close with Gratitude Pictionary, a light reflective draw-and-share that grows vocabulary, perspective-taking, and classroom warmth; artefacts can be displayed on a Gratitude Wall to reinforce belonging. Educators can expect minimal setup, flexible spaces, and multiple ways to respond (verbal, visual, assisted, or tech-supported), with wheelchair-friendly adaptations embedded throughout. The week emphasises non-eliminating play, clear differentiation, and frequent celebration, giving you strong observation points for focus, coordination, self-management, emotional language, and prosocial behaviour as students head into Week 3 feeling connected and proud.
