Are you looking for engaging SEL activities that help students express emotions, build coping skills, and strengthen self-awareness—without feeling like “work”?

Our SEL Drawing Prompt Worksheets are designed to make social emotional learning creative, hands-on, and fun. Each page uses an open-ended visual prompt (like a backpack, treasure chest, balloon, or garden) to encourage children to explore their thoughts, feelings, and strengths in a safe and imaginative way.

Perfect for school counselors, classroom teachers, social workers, and therapists, these worksheets can be used in individual counseling, small groups, or whole-class SEL lessons.

With 13 unique drawing prompts, students will explore themes such as:

Self-Awareness & Strengths
