Foster Emotional Well-Being with Our Self-Awareness Activity: Split-Self Portrait

Our Split-Self Portrait Activity is designed to enhance students’ self-awareness by encouraging them to explore the contrast between how they perceive themselves and how the world views them. This creative, reflective exercise empowers students to deepen their emotional well-being, promoting introspection and self-understanding.

With this activity, educators can guide students through a meaningful exploration of identity, encouraging personal growth and emotional insight.

  • Encourage Self-Reflection: Help students express their inner thoughts and feelings through a blend of words, art, and imagery that visually represents their self-perception.
  • Creative Expression: Students can utilize various mediums—from drawings to magazine cutouts—to craft a portrait that represents both their internal and external selves.
  • Boost Emotional Intelligence: By engaging with this activity, students develop a stronger sense of self-awareness, an essential component of emotional intelligence that fosters resilience and self-regulation.

Transform your classroom into a space of personal growth and emotional well-being. Fill out the form to receive your copy of the Split-Self Portrait Activity and inspire your students to better understand themselves and their emotions.
