Self · Week 1 — Who Am I?

Social-EmotionalDraftWhole groupWeek 1

Objectives

Wildlings begin exploring their own identity beyond labels like grade or age. The guiding question is 'What makes me, me?'

Materials

Whole Self Book (blank book), collage materials, mirrors, markers

Activities

Wildlings brainstorm lists of things that describe them — likes, roles, quirks, talents. A self-portrait activity (drawn or collaged) opens the Whole Self Book. Partner shares let Wildlings practice describing themselves aloud. A short movement game explores how bodies express identity without words. The week closes with the first page glued into the Whole Self Book.

Coach notes

Let answers be incomplete and strange; identity work should stay open, not be graded for 'correctness.'
