Feelings Activity Book

We’ve put together a Feelings Activity Book for children aged 9-10 years as we believe it’s more important than ever to be talking to children about loss and transition. The activity book is full of activities that children can work on independently, in groups, or with the help of a teacher or parent.

About the Feelings Activity Book

This is a fun activity book which helps children explore their feelings, relationships in the wider world, resilience, loss and transition. It can be completed by individuals, in groups or with the support of parents, carers or teachers.

Feedback from Deputy Head, Tamara Pearson, of Sion Junior School:

“This is absolutely superb! It is pitched exactly right and has the right balance of information and reflection. I am quite sure that many children will find this resource hugely useful.”

Read Lola's inspiring story

Lola was only 10 when she encouraged English Martyrs Catholic Primary school to choose St Barnabas as their charity to support. Lola chose St Barnabas after seeing the way the hospice cared for her beloved Nanny, and is following the the footsteps of her great-aunt who has organised fundraisers and volunteered for St Barnabas too!
