What is the All About Me (Kids)?

‘All About Me’ activities invite children to describe their interests, strengths, relationships and hopes. They build rapport and support positive self-concept in a playful format.

Why it works

Children’s self-concept develops through experiences and relationships, and opportunities to reflect on strengths and support networks contribute to positive self-perceptions (Harter, 2012).

When to use it

  • First sessions with children
  • School counselling
  • Self-esteem building
  • Group activities

How to use it in session

  1. Invite the child to write, draw or dictate.
  2. Show curiosity and enthusiasm.
  3. Highlight strengths and caring people.
  4. Use answers to guide later sessions.
  5. Share with caregivers if the child agrees.

Clinician tips

  • Let children decorate the page.
  • Follow up on interests in later sessions.
  • Gently notice if a child struggles to name strengths or caring people.

Worked example

Love: dinosaurs, pizza, my cat. Good at: drawing, running. Proud: learning to ride my bike. Words: funny, kind, fast.

Sharing with clients

Members can download the PDF to print or email, or copy a private client link from the download box. Your client opens the link and downloads the worksheet on any device. No client account is needed, and nothing your client writes is stored on TherapyAid.

Frequently asked questions

What age is this for?

Most children aged 5-11. Younger children can draw and dictate answers.

Can this be used in groups?

Yes. It’s a great icebreaker for children’s groups.
