Our ACT for kids worksheets have been developed to support therapists, counsellors, psychologists, social workers, and mental health professionals working with children in the age bracket of 8 to 13 years, who experience big feelings, busy thoughts, worry, frustration, avoidance, emotional overwhelm, and difficulty coping when things feel hard.

This resource takes a practical, child-friendly, evidence-informed approach based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) principles. It helps children understand their thoughts and feelings, notice when they are getting hooked by sticky thoughts, make room for big emotions, connect with what matters to them, and choose actions that move them towards the kind of person they want to be. It combines clear psychoeducation with engaging, age-appropriate worksheets designed to build emotional awareness, mindfulness, psychological flexibility, and practical coping skills.

All information, exercises, and activities included in this resource are designed to be supportive, accessible, and easy to integrate into therapy sessions, school-based support, home practice, and between-session activities.

What do our ACT for kids worksheets cover

This 11-page bundle includes psychoeducation, reflective exercises, and practical skills to help children:

• Understand what happens in a busy brain, including thoughts, feelings, worries, and emotional weather
• Learn about the upstairs and downstairs brain, including why big feelings can make it hard to think clearly
• Recognise sticky thoughts and feelings that can hook them in and pull them around
• Practise unhooking from difficult thoughts using child-friendly strategies such as silly voices, naming the story, singing the thought, and imagining thoughts on a screen
• Make room for big feelings instead of fighting, avoiding, or pushing them away
• Use noticing and grounding skills, including a five senses exercise to come back to the present moment
• Explore personal values and identify what matters most to them
• Understand the difference between towards moves and away moves
• Choose small actions that move them towards the kind of person they want to be, even when big feelings are present
• Use body-based calming skills, including a child-friendly squeeze and let go relaxation exercise
• Create a personalised calm-down toolkit they can return to when thoughts or feelings feel big
