A clear set of prompts helps children and teens reflect on positive experiences without needing to think of ideas from scratch. The activity invites them to record something that made them smile, something they are proud of, someone who was kind to them, something fun they did, a place they enjoyed, and something they are grateful for.
The printable page is designed in a friendly black-and-white style, with large boxes for writing or drawing. It works well for younger children who prefer pictures as well as older children and teenagers who may want to add short notes, examples, or personal reflections.
Two reflection sections at the bottom encourage a little deeper thinking. One asks, “How do these positive moments make me feel?” and another asks, “I can create more positive moments by,” helping children connect daily experiences with mood, wellbeing, gratitude, and positive thinking.
Parents, carers, social workers, counsellors, teachers, and pastoral staff could use it as a wellbeing check-in, a gratitude worksheet, a therapy session activity, a calm end-of-day reflection, or a home-based positive journalling prompt. It may be especially useful for kids and teenagers who find it hard to recognise positives, talk about feelings, or build confidence from everyday experiences.
The page includes the encouraging statements “Good things happen every day, even tiny ones!” and “I will look for the good, even in small ways.” The activity is credited to Edita Stiborova.
