Film: It's OK to not be OK

This short film clip will encourage conversations around feelings and emotions and allow children to express themselves. The film compares the restart of the footballing season to the beginning of a new school year and illustrates the hopes, fears and uncertainties that come with new starts and transitions. Using footage from the 2019/20 season, the film includes football players and managers showing a range of emotions.

Extra time: My week of feelings

Children will think about their feelings and emotions and make a note of how they feel during the week.

Younger children can draw how they feel and older children will take note of things that they could change to help them to feel better. They will be given the opportunity to self-reflect where they can see if they achieve their goals at the end of the week.

These activity sheets include notes for parents.
