Four Finger Affirmations

There are 4 copies per page, so teachers can print out and cut down. Hand out one square per student.

Teachers can state: Affirmations are positive words or phrases that are repeated to one’s self to help challenge negative thoughts and to help a person make positive changes. When you repeat them often, and believe in them, that’s when change begins.

Students will write a total of 4 affirmations, one in each finger.

Teachers can share examples as well to give students inspiration:

• I believe in me.

• I am free of worry and am peace with who I am.

• Positivity is a choice; I choose to be positive.

• I am enough

• I am proud of myself and all that I have accomplished.

• I am a beautiful person.

• I am brave / smart / kind

• I am not my mistakes

• I have the power to create change

• I can handle this

• I am loved today

If students want to include pictures or drawings on their square, they are more than welcome to.
