His worry thoughts are shown in speech clouds, including the fear that he will mess up, be laughed at, or that nobody will like his speech.

This resource can be used as part of a wellbeing lesson, a CBT-informed activity, a small group intervention, or a one-to-one discussion about anxiety and school nerves. It also works well for home learning or revision before a presentation, giving adults a clear prompt for talking about feelings, thoughts and helpful actions.
