How It Works:
First Flight: Kids complete the challenge to simply notice their self-talk—what are they telling themselves as they try the poses? After the challenge, kids can complete or discuss the first worksheet that explores inner dialogue and challenges kids to come up with positive self-talk to improve their performance.
 
Second Flight: Kids practice using positive, encouraging messages and notice how it impacts their ability to perform the poses. After completing the challenge again, kids can complete or discuss the second worksheet that reviews how it went and how their new self-talk affected their performance.
 
Completion Certificate: At the end of the activity, kids receive a personalized certificate to show off their great work!
