printable activities and worksheets might be just what you’re looking for!
What’s Inside:
Worksheet: Shine a Light on YOUR Signature Strengths!Â
List your 5 Signature Strengths below and then answer the reflection questions.
What Went Well Journal – Write
Get started! For the next five days, reflect on three things that went well and describe
them in the space below. Practicing gratitude and shifting your focus to the positive
things each day enhances your wellbeing and can transform how you see the world.
Parent Instructions, Survey Access & Signature Strengths Reference Sheet –
Identifying Your Child’s Strengths
Take the VIA Character Survey (viacharacter.org) for your child. Answer the questions
from their perspective based on your observations of them in all areas of their life.
Check their top five signature strengths on this sheet and reference it throughout the
year. This is a great tool for IEP meetings and check-ins with your child’s education &
care team to ensure that goals, activities, and feedback are aligned with your child’s
strengths. This is also a great activity to share with family and friends so you can see
both overlapping and unique strengths for the people your child regularly interacts with.
Worksheet: Gratitude Brainstorm – Write or Draw
Take seven minutes to brainstorm as many things you’re grateful for across each
category below. You can write these out, draw, or share them verbally (including using a
communications device). You can also do this on a separate sheet if you want more
writing room. Try this activity again after practicing What Went Well for a few weeks to
see how your gratitude skills have improved!
Plus bonus access to full lesson plans and unit studies on the skills of happiness at
