The Monkey 'I Am' Affirmation Deck is an appealing set of affirmation cards that helps children develop confidence and self-awareness. Each card features an “I am…” statement, such as “I am strong” or “I am grateful,” and encourages children to reflect on their own strengths by adding personal examples. One of our testers excitedly said, “I am talented because I'm good at football!"
The inclusion of both uppercase and lowercase letters on each card also supports children with letter recognition. We found the affirmations themselves to be most appropriate for children aged 5 and above - due to the use of more complex vocabulary such as 'resilient' and 'vibrant'. But with adult support, children were able to explore the meaning of these words in a personal context while also increasing their vocabulary.
A great tool for starting conversations when used as a group - helping to develop communication, listening and socials skills. Overall, a thoughtful and engaging resource that supports both emotional and educational development in young children.
- Develops self-awareness and confidence
- Helps increase vocabulary
- Encourages communication
