Introduce the lesson by greeting the students and explaining that positive self-talk means talking to yourself in a supportive and encouraging way. Emphasize that the way we speak about ourselves can shape our feelings and actions.

Define positive self-talk for the students using age-appropriate language. Explain that it's recognizing our strengths and encouraging ourselves even when facing challenges.

Read through these examples with the class, asking for additional examples from the students. This should help them understand how they can apply these phrases in real life.

Encourage students to think of and share a positive phrase or a compliment they can say to themselves. Prompt them with simple questions if needed.

Reinforce the session's key idea that everyone has unique qualities worth celebrating. End the slide deck on an uplifting note by reminding students of their inherent worth.
