We have made a week full of colourful fun activities for you to download above. Email enquiries@childrenshealthscotland.org about receiving printed copies of the activity book. You can find some fun ideas to try below.
Being happy is not just about feeling good. Happiness is also about emotional health and wellbeing and being able to make the most of the good times and cope with the bad ones, to experience the best possible life. Happiness really is a skill that we can all learn that will last for a lifetime.
ACTIVITIES FOR YOU TO TRY
Here are three Thursday #BEHAPPY ideas for you to try during Scottish Children’s Health Week.
ACTIVITY 1 | IF YOU’RE HAPPY AND YOU KNOW IT
We all know the famous nursery rhyme, so let’s turn it into a happiness activity! Draw around your hand and write or draw one thing, on each finger, that made you happy or made you smile that day. Can you help a younger family member to do it too? Once you have 5 happy things, share them with your friends and family, and ask what has made them happy!
ACTIVITY 2 | FORTUNE TELLER
Fold some paper into a fortune teller and write down one thing in each section that you could do to give yourself a boost of happiness! Give it a go through the week and encourage your friends and family to have a go too. As an example listen to your favourite song, go for a walk, give someone a hug.
ACTIVITY 3 | CURATE YOUR FEED
Social media can be a great thing, if we use it properly. It is important to notice what we see on social media and unsubscribe to things that don’t make us feel good. If you spend time on social media, design your feed to include people, pages and things that make you happy or things that inspire you. Why not try searching for tags of your favourite things? Remember to ask an adult before using any social media.
