Fun with Character: Confident People

To understand the difference in the outlook of those who are confident vs. those who doubt their self-worth, the class will categorize each of the following items as typical of confidence or doubt.  You will read from each list but mix them up.  The class can either say what they think it is, or you can have them move to the confident side of the room or the doubting side of the room when you read each one.  When you are done, read the list of Confident People again to plant those images in their mind.

  • Indecisive

  • Act like a know-it-all

  • Blame others

This list came from VeryWell Mind  


When finished, process the activity with these or similar questions:

  • Did you like this game?

  • Were the questions difficult?

  • How much of the confidence list do you see in yourself? 

  • If you find yourself doing the behaviors associated to being doubtful, do you think you could think positively and bolster your confidence?
