Leo's Worry Cloud
Leo has a big job at Friday's assembly, and a small grey worry cloud starts to grow. Watch the film, spot the worry clues, swap what ifs for brave thoughts, catch the worry shrinkers and take small brave steps all the way to the stage.
For the whole class on a whiteboard, or on a tablet or laptop. Turn on 👥 Teams to play in two teams. Nothing children type, tap or say is saved or sent.
