In this activity, students will complete a self reflection on their own levels of wellness. Each area of wellness can be measured and rated based on a scale from 1 (lowest) to 5 (highest). Students should be encouraged to actually spend time and think about each level of wellness, as this first activity will be used as a foundation for further activities in this lesson plan.
When students have scored their levels of wellness, they should pick the lowest three areas and describe why they are low. Students should already have formulated ideas on how they can improve each area by the time they have finished. If students have all fives, ask them to pick three areas and talk about how they’re achieving these high health levels.

Student Instructions
Create a storyboard depicting and describing your personal levels of wellness.
Guide students to identify specific, achievable wellness goals for the areas they want to improve. Helping students set clear targets increases motivation and provides a roadmap for progress.
Encourage students to list simple actions they can take for each wellness goal. Breaking big goals into manageable steps makes improvement feel possible and reduces overwhelm.
Use charts, journals, or class posters so students can record their efforts and celebrate milestones. Visual tracking reinforces positive habits and keeps students engaged.
Schedule weekly or biweekly conversations for students to reflect, share challenges, and support each other. Consistent check-ins build community and help students stay accountable.
Recognize both big and small achievements and help students revise their goals if needed. Celebrating success boosts confidence and keeps students motivated to continue improving.
A wellness self-reflection activity asks students to assess and rate different areas of their wellness—such as physical, emotional, and social health—on a scale (usually 1 to 5). This helps them understand their current well-being and identify areas for improvement.
Encourage students to thoughtfully rate each area of wellness, then have them discuss or write about their lowest-rated areas and brainstorm ways to improve. For students with high scores, ask them to reflect on what habits help them succeed.
Ask students to reflect honestly on their daily habits and feelings. Use prompts like "Which wellness areas feel challenging right now?" or "Where do you see room for growth?" to spark self-awareness.
Students can create a storyboard to visually depict their wellness ratings and experiences, and use a pie chart to compare and reflect on different wellness areas. This makes self-assessment more interactive and memorable.
Reflecting on wellness helps students build self-awareness, set personal goals, and develop healthy habits. It creates a foundation for future growth and supports emotional and physical well-being in the classroom.
