I Like Myself Hop

Help kids with their self-esteem!

Add this self-esteem activity for kids to your classroom today. This colorful mat features a quote from Darrell Knoch’s book Mastering a Healthy Self Image. The included quote reads “I like myself, I love my life, I am excited, I am healthy, and I add brightness to the life of everyone I meet.”

Self-esteem is important for everyone, but especially young children. Our mat can help boost students’ confidence and self esteem. As they read the words on the mat, their reading comprehension and their word and letter recognition will grow.

Movement-based activities will boost learning comprehension while helping young students develop gross motor skills. Whether using it for class or during free time, this mat will encourage active learning and collaborative play. Take a look at our activity database for more activities and sensory play to keep your students on their feet.
