Use these printable growth mindset activities with a child during a classroom lesson, counselling session, mentoring meeting or quiet home activity. The workbook helps children reflect on their strengths, interests, personal values and future goals while practising ideas such as learning from mistakes, taking risks and staying persistent when something feels difficult.
Clear, child-friendly prompts give young people a practical way to put their thoughts about confidence, strengths and personal purpose into words. Designed as a growth mindset workbook for kids, the pages can support primary-aged children who are beginning to explore what they enjoy, what matters to them and how they want to contribute to others.
A growth mindset flower page introduces key habits: embracing challenges and change, seeking and using feedback, being curious, flexible, resilient, self-aware and persistent, maintaining a positive attitude, taking risks, and learning from mistakes. Adults can use the page as a discussion starter, inviting children to choose one quality they would like to practise in school, sport, friendships or at home.
The All About Me activity sheet includes spaces for a name and nickname, favourite foods, favourite hobby or activity, a chosen superpower, words that describe the child, a favourite memory, and someone they look up to. These personal identity prompts can be useful for school transition work, rapport-building in child counselling, or one-to-one support sessions with a pastoral worker or mentor.
Two Finding My Purpose worksheets move from interests and talents to fulfilment, causes the child cares about, the legacy they hope to leave, and ways they could make a positive impact in their community or the wider world. Teachers, school counsellors and parents can print the pages individually or work through them over several conversations, allowing children to draw, write key words or dictate answers where needed.
