SELF ESTEEM ACTIVITY & WORKSHEETS – Self Confidence Activities Sandwich

Looking for a fun, hands-on self-esteem activity that helps students build confidence and recognize their strengths in a creative and supportive way? Our Self-Esteem Sandwich Lesson and Craft is a playful yet powerful intervention tool designed to help children explore self-worth, positive self-talk, and personal strengths in a non-threatening and engaging format. Perfect for school counselors, therapists, teachers, and parents, our resource blends social-emotional learning with imaginative craft time to make building self-esteem accessible, memorable, and fun.

Our Self-Esteem Activity Includes:

• A creative, sandwich-themed craft focused on confidence-building, positive self-image, and personal strengths
• Printable sandwich templates (bread and ingredients) that represent a range of self-esteem strategies
• Encourages students to reflect on moments of self-doubt and identify empowering thoughts and actions
• Promotes self-awareness, resilience, and social-emotional growth through hands-on learning
• Reusable format – simply laminate the templates and use whiteboard markers to write, wipe, and reuse
• Suitable for individual counseling sessions, small group counseling, classroom SEL activities, or lunchtime interventions
• A great addition to your self-esteem curriculum, confidence-building toolkit, or wellness corner

How It Works:

1.Cut out the sandwich pieces – including bread slices and self-esteem strategy ingredients

2.Invite students to reflect on a situation that made them feel uncertain, discouraged, or anxious

3.Let them explore the “ingredients,” each representing a positive strategy like using affirmations, celebrating strengths, or setting small goals

4.Students build their personalized Self-Esteem Sandwich and give it a fun or empowering name on the top slice of bread

5.Use this activity to spark meaningful discussions, boost self-worth, and encourage personal growth

Empower your students to recognize their value – one sandwich layer at a time!
