‘Pom Pom Stays Happy’ Emotional Support (4 years +) - Activity Pack
English Resource Description
The 'Pom Pom Stays Happy' activity pack is an engaging resource designed for children aged 4 years and older, aimed at providing emotional support through various interactive tasks. The pack includes a range of activities that encourage children to explore their feelings and routines, as well as to practice problem-solving and creative thinking. One of the tasks involves drawing Pom Pom's happy face, which helps kids to associate emotions with expressions. They are also asked to unscramble words to identify the activities that keep Pom Pom active and happy, such as going for walks, playing in the garden, and joining in with online fitness routines. Additionally, children are invited to complete Pom Pom's daily timetable, ensuring they understand the importance of a structured day.
The pack further delves into emotional well-being by prompting children to answer questions about Pom Pom's schedule in full sentences, reinforcing their comprehension and writing skills. Kids are encouraged to consider what makes Pom Pom happy, including her family, friends, and toys, and to express this through drawing and writing. They also get to role-play by finishing a conversation between Pom Pom and the naughty dog, developing empathy and problem-solving abilities. In another activity, children arrange Pom Pom's morning routine, which subtly teaches them about daily self-care practices. The narrative continues with Pom Pom in lockdown, where she reflects on the importance of staying home and maintaining social distance, and children are asked to imagine and write about what happens next in the story.
