These Year 1 and Year 2 World Mental Health Day Practical Activities are a great way to utilise common tools to cope with feelings, mental health and improve everyday wellbeing.

Featuring a variety of engaging and hands-on activities, each page includes two cards for display in the classroom, with teacher planning notes at the side. Level up and level down activities have been included in the planning so you can adapt the activity to the needs in your class.

The activities include sharing their worries, recording acts of kindness, completing breathing exercises and exploring emotions in different ways. Sentence stems have also been included to support two of the activities in this pack.

These resources could be used throughout the year to support wellbeing and emotional literacy but would also be perfect for marking World Mental Health Day on 10th October.
