SYNTHESIS QUESTIONS AND POINTS:
• What did you discover about yourself as you were making it or

KEY MESSAGE
It is important to identify your feelings in order to deal
with them. You may feel a lot of different feelings at the
same time, and that is okay; they are valid. When we feel
difficult feelings, there are many different ways to help
yourself feel better about difficult feelings. Some of the
things that can help us deal with them include: sharing
your stories with a trusted friend or adult, singing a
song, taking a walk, taking a nap, or exercising. It is
important to share uplifting feelings as well; it’s one way
to support others and build friendships.

our bodies, we are able to be present to
others in an honest and supportive way.
Activity 3
CAMERA
Psychosocial Competency: Problem Solving
Materials Needed

group
• Coloring materials, recycled materials, glue, and other
remaining materials that can be used to decorate the camera

they?

the challenge you managed to solve?

your current problem?
KEY MESSAGE
Everyone has the capacity to find creative
solutions to challenging situations.
Sometimes, it is helpful to look back at who
and what helped us solve problems in the
past. These do not only remind us of our own
abilities and strengths, but also the resources
and support available to us.
Activity 4
CONFIDENCE
DRAWINGS
Psychosocial Competency: Self-confidence

KEY MESSAGE
You are enough just the way you are. While we
make space for hard feelings in our lives, it’s good
to also remember that there are many things to be
proud of in our lives as well. It is good to notice all
the good things about yourself, including the things
you love and the people who love you. Bringing
these into awareness helps build self-confidence.

TREE OF LIFE

Materials Needed
• ¼ sheet of manila paper per
learner; alternatively, a sheet of
8”x 11” paper is adequate as well
• Coloring materials
Instructions:
Roots: What (or who) keeps you stable and strong? These can be
activities you do in daily life or people important to you.
Trunk: What do you love about yourself? What are the qualities
you feel proud of? These can be special talents and character
traits such as being a good friend or taking care of others.
Branches: What are your hopes, dreams, and wishes for the
future?
Leaves: What are some of the ways that people have given you
gifts in your life? This is not about material gifts or things, but
rather about kindness and support. Who has helped and
supported you, and who have you supported?
Instructions:
Roots: Ano (o sino) ang nagpapanatili sa iyo na matatag at malakas? Ito ay
maaaring mga aktibidad na ginagawa mo sa pang-araw-araw na buhay o
mga taong mahalaga sa iyo.
Trunk: Ano ang gusto mo sa iyong sarili? Ano ang mga katangian na sa
tingin mo ay ipinagmamalaki? Ang mga ito ay maaaring maging mga
espesyal na talento at katangian ng karakter tulad ng pagiging mabuting
kaibigan o pag-aalaga sa iba.
Branches: Ano ang iyong mga pag-asa, pangarap, at hiling para sa
hinaharap?
Leaves: Ano ang ilan sa mga paraan na binigyan ka ng mga tao ng regalo
sa iyong buhay? Hindi ito tungkol sa mga materyal na regalo o mga bagay,
kundi tungkol sa kabaitan at suporta. Sino ang tumulong at sumuporta sa
iyo, at sino ang iyong sinuportahan?
• What would you like to share about your work?
You can share one or some parts of your tree.
• What was this activity like for you?
• What did you discover about yourself in the
process?
• What do you like about your tree?
• Looking at our Forest of Life, do you notice any
similarities or differences among the trees? What
are they?
KEY MESSAGE
The Forest of Life shows that no two trees are
exactly the same. Each tree, like each one of you,
has its own story, capabilities, gifts, and potential.
Being more aware about the good things about
yourself helps build self-compassion, especially
when we feel down or challenged. Knowing and
using our abilities, as well as the support we have
in our lives also helps us shape our future.
