C鶹Լ presenter Rhys Stephenson steps into a time machine, where children are encouraged to dream big and imagine themselves in a variety of exciting future job roles, from being an astronaut to becoming a deep sea diver as well as visualising their own future role!

Movements are used to represent the different areas of work and to express what pupils are excited about for their future selves.

This classroom activity helps pupils overcome potential fear of the future and instils excitement for all the opportunities to fulfil their potential as they grow up.

We can use our imagination as a powerful tool to help us see alternative possibilities.

Teacher Notes

Teachers can use this activity to encourage pupils to draw upon positive memories or to visualise what the future might look like. This can help to remind them of more positive ways of feeling and what there is to look forward to.

We advise teachers and parents to review the Moodboosters video prior to showing it to children at school or home, and consider the activity’s suitability for space, accessibility requirements and how it may be received by pupils.

Teachers should ensure that the learning environment is safe and supportive for all pupils during viewing, especially when they are asked to share ideas, feelings and emotions.

Visit the Teacher Guide for more information and support.

Curriculum Notes

Moodboosters classroom resources can be used for teaching primary school pupils aged 5 -11 PSHE in England, Health and Wellbeing in Wales and Scotland, and PDMU in Northern Ireland, and to support with Ofsted, Estyn and Education Scotland requirements.
