PSHE Lesson Plans

Tested and Ready to GO

Guide to Life lesson plans are designed to inspire and engage children to begin to look after their own wellbeing. Each lesson has practical activities, techniques and strategies to embed learning and a check-in time for the children to reflect and keep learning about themselves, others and the wider world.
