Purple Mash During Children’s Mental Health Week

Boosting Wellbeing with Purple Mash During Children’s Mental Health Week

 

Children’s Mental Health Week is the perfect time to focus on wellbeing, and Purple Mash offers a fantastic range of activities to support children’s emotional health. With engaging, creative, and reflective tasks for both KS1 and KS2, there’s something for every child to explore!

Wellbeing Activities for KS1

For our younger learners, Purple Mash provides simple yet meaningful ways to talk about feelings and develop a positive mindset. Activities such as the Feelings Diary allow children to express emotions through pictures and words, helping them understand their moods. The Mindfulness Colouring tasks offer a calming way to focus, relax, and enjoy creativity.

Children can also enjoy the ‘All About Me’ template, where they reflect on what makes them special, building self-esteem and confidence. Engaging stories and interactive activities about friendship and kindness encourage children to think about how they can support each other and spread positivity.

Supporting KS2 Wellbeing

For KS2 pupils, Purple Mash offers deeper reflective tasks, helping them develop resilience and emotional intelligence. The ‘Positive Thoughts’ writing activity encourages children to identify things they are grateful for, promoting a growth mindset.

Older children can also explore Blogging on Purple Mash, a safe space where they can write about their feelings, share strategies for managing worries, and celebrate achievements. The ‘Relaxation and Mindfulness’ section includes activities that guide children through calming techniques, perfect for managing stress and improving focus.

A Week of Wellbeing

Children’s Mental Health Week is a great opportunity to remind pupils of the importance of looking after their minds as well as their bodies. With Purple Mash’s engaging activities, children can explore their emotions, celebrate their strengths, and develop positive mental health habits in a fun and interactive way.

Encourage your child to log in, explore, and take part in activities that promote happiness and wellbeing this week!
