My Proud Moment Trophy
Design a trophy for something you worked hard at, and write what it took to get there.
- Grades
- K–5
- Time
- about 20 minutes
- Kids practice
- self-esteem, recognizing effort, reflection
What kids do
“You earned a trophy! What is it for?”
- Draw your trophy (and write what it’s for)
- How hard was it?
- I am proud because…
- It took… (practice, help, courage?)
How to run it
- Proud moments can be big or small: tying shoes, being brave at the dentist.
- Point kids toward effort, not just winning.
- Hold a short “trophy ceremony” where kids share.
Talk about it
- Why do hard things make us proudest?
- Who helped you get there?
- What trophy would you give a friend?
