Lessons
Mini Topic Videos
The Shining Within Project offers a lessons plan tailored to each age group, with a new topic designed to support emotional growth, self-awareness, and resilience. By rotating topics in short time periods, participants explore a wide range of themes and skills, building a well-rounded foundation for emotional wellness over time. Each week the lesson will include all the following:
A short, engaging video accompanies each lesson to reinforce and expand on the main topic. Videos provide visual and auditory learning, illustrate real-life applications, and offer another way for participants to connect with the material, making concepts more concrete and memorable.
Each week features engaging activities that help participants apply the weekly topic in real life. Through games, creative exercises, or discussions, participants practice skills, explore emotions, and reinforce what they’ve learned in a fun and meaningful way. Activities can be done independently, with family, or in group settings.
Activities
Topic lesson
Each week begins with a structured lesson focused on the current theme for each age group. These lessons introduce key concepts, provide relatable examples, and guide participants through understanding the topic in a way that is age-appropriate and engaging. They serve as the foundation for all other weekly activities.
Book and Media recommendations
Each week includes curated videos, articles, podcasts, interactive resources, and age-appropriate books that complement the weekly topic. These materials provide multiple ways to explore the theme, reinforce learning, model emotional intelligence and coping strategies, and inspire reflection, discussion, and meaningful connections.
Journal prompts
Thoughtful prompts encourage participants to reflect on the weekly topic, explore their thoughts and feelings, and practice self-expression. Journaling helps deepen understanding, promotes self-awareness, and provides a safe space for participants to process emotions and personal experiences.
Worksheets and Handouts
Each week includes practical exercises and take-home materials designed to help participants apply the concepts in daily life. These tools reinforce the lesson, encourage active learning, and provide actionable strategies that participants can practice independently or with family and peers.
