Week Sex, Activity One - My Wellbeing Shield - Wellbeing Warrior Badge

A creative printable activity to help children recognise and celebrate their unique mental health tools, like a true Wellbeing Warrior!

Every warrior needs a shield, and this one is made of calm, courage, and care. My Wellbeing Shield is a mindful activity that invites children to reflect on what helps them feel strong, safe, and happy in their day-to-day life. This empowering and engaging printable helps build emotional awareness and confidence, and is perfect for parents, educators, or wellbeing professionals supporting children aged 5–11.

About This Resource

Created as part of the Be Happy Summer Camp 2025 - and which can also be used as a standalone activity - this printable worksheet helps children identify their personal wellbeing strategies and “armour” - the thoughts, people, actions, and environments that help them feel good. By filling in and decorating their own shield, they’re taking part in meaningful self-reflection and learning how to manage their mental health with confidence and creativity.

Children are encouraged to complete four shield prompts that explore:

• Positive self-talk and affirmations.

• Calming strategies and coping tools.

• Supportive relationships and safe spaces.

• Mood-boosting activities and joy-makers.

Once completed, their shield can be coloured, cut out, and proudly displayed, reminding them that they already hold the tools to feel their best.
