My qualities and identity
Describe their own personal qualities (e.g. kind, brave, funny, curious) and those of others, and explain how these qualities contribute to developing who they are (their identity)
Lesson
Set out your lesson
“My qualities and identity means naming your qualities and others’ qualities, and linking them to identity. We will practise once together, then check a fresh example.”
Bring to the table
- Quality word bank: kind, brave, funny, curious
- Paper for “I am… / They are…”
Extra for the adult
Worked example. I am curious. My sister is kind. These qualities help shape who we are.
Optional challenge. For My qualities and identity, add how a quality shows up in an action.
What to notice. Keep one parent note: self/other qualities; identity link; support used. This session samples identity language, not mastery of self-concept theory.

“Can your child describe what kind of person they are — kind, brave, curious — with an example, and say what they admire in someone else?”
