Videos to support Bounce Back! from Sprout Wellbeing

These videos are aimed at middle to upper primary students and support teachers to:

    • introduce and teach the BOUNCE BACK acronym of coping statements
    • build students’ resilience and coping skills
    • generate safe classroom discussions
    • develop shared class language and understanding about resilience.

They can be used to generate general discussions around wellbeing and resilience, setting the scene for the curriculum units.

It is recommended that teachers pause the videos where indicated, or as often as needed to generate robust classroom discussions. Each video also includes activities for resilient skill development.

The following articles, written by Bounce Back! author Dr Toni Noble, provide parents and teachers with wellbeing tools, tips and activities for primary school-aged children to build resilience and wellbeing during this global pandemic and other challenges the future may hold.

Boosting positive emotions

Positive emotions help us to undo the negative effects of stress. While it is normal for children to experience challenging emotions like anxiety, fear or frustration at this time, this article suggests ideas to boost their positive emotions.

Staying connected

Social distancing is more about physical separation, not social disconnection from each other. The activities in this article are designed to help primary school-aged children to have fun interacting with a friend or classmate via phone or video through interesting and purposeful conversation.
