ACTIONS Wellbeing Curriculums: Engaging lessons and activities for 5-14yr olds

The ACTIONS curricula are based on the principles and findings of positive psychology and target every known major predictor and correlate of wellbeing. The ACTIONS acronym identifies seven pillars of wellbeing. The curricula have been designed with busy teachers in mind and offer clear plans, resources and ideas for sustaining wellbeing strategies taught. Lessons utilise a range of active teaching strategies to engage children and both collaborative and independent learning opportunities are offered. Gamification (the process of applying game-design elements and features e.g., meaningful stories, language, challenge, purpose etc.) is present throughout to motivate and add an extra element of fun for students. We have 3 curriculums with age-appropriate content:

• ACTIONS with Friends (5-7yrs)
• ACTIONS Adventure (8-11yrs)
• ACTIONS Quest (12-14yrs)

  Each curriculum is divided into seven units following the ACTIONS acronym:

Unit	Focus
Active	physical movement and activity, health
Calming	emotional recognition and regulation, strategies and skills
Thinking	taking stock, working through challenges, noticing the good
Identity	personal strengths, self-confidence and positive sense of self
Opportunity	setting goals, looking to the future, improving the current situation
Nourishing	taking care of yourself, making time for fun and pleasure
Social	establishing and maintaining positive relationships

Each curriculum benefits from a flexible structure, and educators can choose to run a programme consisting of anything between one – seven units and all core resources are provided. Units can be completed in any order – you may start with whichever unit best suits the needs of your students. ACTIONS lessons support students to develop the skills of wellbeing: self-confidence, identification and activation of one’s character strengths, health education (diet, sleep, physical exercise), stress management, emotions, motivation, state of mind, empathy, gratitude, active listening, cooperation, kindness, friendship, etc. Our training builds teacher confidence by trying out the most engaging, as well as seemingly “tricky” exercises and solutions.
