Game Face - Encourage Children to Get their Game Face On When They Need To Feel Brave, Tackle Challenges or Try Something New! 

When you need to feel brave, get your Game Face on! This fun and empowering activity helps children explore what confidence and determination look like for them. By creating their own Game Face, they can visualise and step into a mindset of strength, resilience and self-belief. We've also included an optional example to help younger children.

About This Resource

This printable activity encourages self-expression and emotional awareness by asking children to draw their own Game Face—a powerful expression that represents their bravery and confidence. Around their drawing, they’ll list words that describe how they feel when they put their Game Face on, such as bold, fearless, unstoppable, and ready to take on any challenge!
