Today is all about celebrating the things that make us smile—from silly dances to thoughtful reflections.
😊 Thursday | #BeHappy
Happiness is something we can grow and share. It’s not just about feeling good in the moment—it’s about building emotional wellbeing, noticing the little things that bring us joy, and learning how to cope with life’s ups and downs. Today’s activities are all about celebrating what makes us smile and helping others feel happy too.
🌟 Thursday Activities
💃 Happy Dance
Find a fun or silly song and dance however you like for one minute! Invite someone to join you and spread the joy.
✍️ Gratitude List
Write down three things that made you smile or laugh today. Try doing this every day for a week—it’s a great way to notice the good things in life.
🗺 Happiness Map
Draw a big squiggly shape on a piece of paper. Fill each section with something that makes you happy—people, places, activities, or memories. Colour it in and keep it somewhere you can see.
🌟 Partner Activity: Chain Reaction (from YouthLink Scotland)
This activity is kindly shared by our friends at YouthLink Scotland, who support young people’s development and wellbeing across Scotland.
What to do:
- Think about five things you’re good at—these could be talents, skills, or things that make you feel proud.
- Write each one on a strip of paper and link them together to make a mini paper chain.
- Join your chain with others to create a long group chain that celebrates everyone’s strengths!
This activity helps children and young people recognise their own value and appreciate the talents of others—building confidence and connection.
