Pupils' instructions: Highlight Strengths

1. Choose the option a or b according to the teacher's instructions:

a) Place one of your hands on a piece of paper. Use the other hand to draw a line around the hand on the paper so that it forms an outline of your hand. The line can be squiggly or discontinuous. 

b) Draw an outline of a human figure. The line can be squiggly or discontinuous. Leave plenty of space inside the outline for your drawings and writing.

2. Think about your strengths. 

• Strengths are skills, abilities, qualities and things that you like or that bring out the best in you.
• Strengths are things that are good for you and others.  
• Everyone has strengths. Strengths can be connected to learning, free time and play, hobbies or anything else that is important to you and that you enjoy. For example, someone's strengths can include an ability to invent new games, fairness or daydreaming.  
• Come up with at least three strengths that you have. You can list as many strengths as you can think of.  

3. Next, draw or write one or more of your strengths inside the outline of your hand or the human figure that you previously drew. If you run out of space, you can continue to draw and write outside the drawing. For example, if including everyone in a game is one of your strengths, what sort of drawing could describe it? Also write down the following title for the image: My strengths.  

4. Think about how your strengths help you promote the rights of a child. For example, fairness as a strength helps people respect the rights of others. Discuss this topic at school while learning about each other's strengths and studying everyone's drawings.
