Many school counselors use Solution Focused Brief Counseling in the school setting. As I was brainstorming activities to use with an elementary student to build self esteem, I thought of this activity. The Miracle Question is great with high school students, but I thought how can we break this down for an elementary student?
This is a fun activity and students can really "envision" a better version of themselves. We started out the conversation by brainstorming super heroes and their super powers. I learned a thing or two, LOL! I steered the conversation away from villains! I said, "Villains are fun to watch in the movies, but I don't want to be one!" Once they have some ideas about super heroes, read the activity directions with them. Many students will need prompting and guidance to turn their positive attributes into super powers, but once they get going, the sky is the limit!
