Self
Esteem Quiz/Video/Seventeen Mag/Face Your Feelings Activity
Design:
I
designed this as a 4-in-1 activity to be done in one session. This activity can
be utilized in a school setting; however I feel it can be utilized in any
setting if modified. It is best used with small groups of 4-6 students. This
activity can be used as a secondary build upon activity from the Popsicle Surprise
activity I presented last week. It can be tailored for any
child/adolescent/teen ages 5 – 19. This activity can be custom designed for any
group you are having surrounding different topics. You can have Face Your
Feelings about Anxiety, Depression, Social Skills, Healthy Dating, LGBTQIAAP.
The word cut outs for the mirror activity can be tailored around your specific topic;
you can find a video clip about your topic, and short survey question quiz
regarding your topic (or create a survey quiz).
School Social Work Model:
This
item of interest meets the School Social Work model under the practice feature
of “Promoting a school climate conducive to student learning and teaching
excellence.” This is done by school social workers promoting a psycho-social
environment that fosters academic engagement and achievement. This practice is
implemented by the school social worker building supportive relationships
within and between students and facilitating engagement between students such
as small groups. (sswaa.org)
Objective:
The
objective of this group 4-in-1 activity is to increase open discussion about specific
areas and challenges students are having in relation to self-esteem, self
worth, self-confidence etc. The goals for this 4-in-1 activity is for the
students to increase self-awareness and understanding of their own challenges
surrounding the topic of self-esteem and continue to facilitate open dialogue;
while also continuing to build the students trust, knowledge, support, and from
their peers.
Process Method:
I
haven’t decided yet which order is best to perform this activity. If watching the
video clip first, then quiz, then mirror activity is best and would result in
the most open and honest dialogue or switching it around. I will be putting
this 4-in-1 activity to the test next semester at my placement starting a new
girls group. (This is where I need your
feedback)
Self-Esteem Quiz:
The
quiz is kept confidential during the activity. I explain to them that I will
collect them and keep them. No names needed on the papers unless they feel
comfortable putting their names on them. Give them 1 minute and 30 seconds to
do the quiz.
Video clip link:
The video clip is 1 minute long.
Seventeen Magazine Comparison:
Compare
the two covers from 2011 to 2016. (You can go on their website and get old
covers.
Face Your Feelings Mirror
Activity:
Purchased
mirrors from the Dollar Tree, and Velcro self-adhesive circles from Joanne
Fabrics. Used Seventeen magazines to cut out various thoughts, feelings, ideas,
catchphrases all surrounding self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-worth. In
total I have about 40 different positive, negative, and neutral types feelings.
Dump them on the table (preferably prior to the students coming in but cover
them up) Give the students 30 seconds to pick the first 4 feelings that they
can relate to at this exact moment (not yesterday, not two hours ago, not how
you want to feel in the future) how they feel about themselves right now. I
learned that giving them too much time to pick feelings also gives them too
much time to think about what others are picking and second-guessing their
feelings etc.
The
remainder of the group will be used to have open dialogue about the students
thoughts, feelings, reaction to the video clip, the quiz, the feelings they faced
on their mirrors, and the two Seventeen magazine covers.
