I Am…

Worksheet Description

The “Positive Affirmation” worksheet is a unique and interactive tool designed to engage students in self-reflection and empowerment. The worksheet features several banner-like shapes with the prompt “I am” followed by blank lines where students are encouraged to complete the sentence with positive and self-affirming statements. Central to the page is a large oval shape, which could be used for students to draw a self-portrait or another image that represents how they see themselves or how they feel when they recite their affirmations.

This activity serves as a canvas for students to express their personal strengths and qualities, fostering a positive self-image. By writing affirmations in the present tense, students affirm their existing positive attributes and reinforce their belief in their own potential. The worksheet can be a starting point for discussions on self-esteem and individuality in the classroom, allowing students to share their positive statements with peers, if they choose, and to learn from the affirmations of others. This simple yet powerful exercise is not just about creating a list of positive statements, but about building a habit of positive self-talk and recognition of one’s own value.
