Resilience Roadmap: A Foldable Brochure to Help Students Reflect, Grow and Take Action

Teaching resilience in primary school works best when students have structured opportunities to reflect on real challenges. When children reflect on a difficulty they faced, how they handled it, and what they learned, they build stronger self‑awareness, persistence, and problem‑solving skills.

This resilience roadmap brochure supports that process by guiding students to identify a challenge, reflect on their growth‑minded response and record three actionable steps for next time. The foldable format creates a personalised mini‑reflection tool students can keep in their desks, portfolios or wellbeing journals.

Key benefits of this resource include:

• Helping students link real events to resilience strategies
• Encouraging ownership of learning and personal growth
• Building emotional vocabulary and reflective thinking
• Supporting social emotional learning routines

Creative Ways to Use This Resilience Activity in the Classroom

This resilience activity can be incorporated into the classroom in much more creative and varied ways than a simple writing task. Here are some engaging options teachers may not have considered:

• End‑of‑Week Reflection – Have students complete a brochure on a Friday based on a moment from the week when they faced a difficulty or solved a problem.
• Learning Celebration Wall – Students can display an open version of their brochure on a “We Show Resilience” wall to share growth moments with the class.
• Storytelling Circle Prompt – Use the completed brochures as prompts during class circle time, allowing students to share challenges and support each other.
