    This lesson is all about attitude and smiles.
  • Activity: Dance to music with someone else in your house or even all by yourself in front of a mirror. Try to make them laugh about your silly dance moves. They can make funny faces and swing their arms, or hop and jump, you can dance together— whatever works! Everyone takes a turn trying to make each other laugh. Your attitude is important, because mental health is about being positive and your brain knows when you are smiling and are happy.
  • Awareness: People who smile are usually really fun to be around. Being silly and laughing is good for your mental health. Have you ever rolled on the floor because you were laughing so hard? People who smile and laugh often are also less likely to develop heart problems. Smiling even temporarily reduces blood pressure. Think of it this way: every time you smile, you are throwing a little feel-good party for your brain. The act of smiling benefits your health and happiness!

  • Create a piece of art with any medium (that means you can use crayon, paint, pencil, newspaper, cereal or whatever you like) It can be a three-dimensional piece or you can just use paper. You can use anything you find around the house as well. The only rule is that you create it. Think before you start, because it could be about what mental health means to you. But it could also be about the color Green! You can interpret it as you like. It can be simple or it can be much more complex! Be creative!
