Valentine-Themed Strengths Identification
This activity helps build confidence and healthy self-concept by asking your child to think about their strengths.
Identifying our strengths is an essential part of building positive self-concept.
Kids can pick as many of these as they want, some kids may need encouragement and can benefit from support to identify times that they have shown these traits. Try to allow them to identify strengths alone first, intervene only if needed.
This worksheet comes in a pre-filled version and a blank version. Your child may prefer to do just one or both. This depends less on the age of the child and more on their current abilities/emotional intelligence.
Strengths identification helps us:
-understand ourselves
-identify tools for coping
-set goals that build on existing traits
-see the good in ourselves + love ourselves

Strength Identification Part Two
For this activity you can print a second copy of the strengths identification worksheet, or you can use the same copy that’s already been colored.
Cut out each individual heart and mix them up. I placed them face down on the table, you could also put them in a container and shake them up ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Ask your child to pick one heart at a time and ask them if they remember a time when they felt _______ .
If they are struggling with this, you can ask them about a time they saw this trait in someone else, or tell them about a time you saw this trait in them.
We want to provide encouragement, but allow self-direction whenever possible.
This activity may be particularly helpful if your child struggled to identify their strengths in the last activity.
To explore potential strengths, use all of the traits on the page.
To reinforce currently identified strengths, use only the ones they selected in the last activity.
Make a Face
Emotion Identification Valentines
“Make A Face'“ Activities allow us to practice identifying emotions in ourselves and others.
Start by printing the worksheet and facial feature pages. Use scissors to cut the facial features out. I usually have these cut out and ready to go, but this could be used as a scissor skill activity as well.
Scatter the facial features on your learner’s workspace and see what they create.
I always start “make a face activities” without direction. I don’t ask them to make any particular face the first time, Give them the materials and wait to see what they create. When they are done I ask “How does the Valentine feel?”
Next, I ask them to create a face for how they feel today. (Often this is the face they already created on their own).
Then, I ask them to make other faces. “Can you make a sad face?”….an angry face, a nervous face….etc
We always have a lot of fun (and a lot of laughs) making silly faces at the end of this activity.
