- Introduce your class to visualisation by having short practice sessions during break time or only for students who find it hard to focus.
- Since this technique might not work for everyone, be ready with an alternative activity.
- Encourage children to visualise the story while reading at school or home.
- Sharing new skills with the group and asking what they’d like to learn next can also help them set goals.

Visualisation
Medium Level
Visualise what you want to accomplish and go for it!
Our minds are powerful. Whether it’s imagining yourself scoring a goal in a football match, crossing the finish line in a race, or learning a new skill like riding a bike. Try picturing every detail! Feel the excitement of the goal, the thrill of the race, or the wind against your face as you pedal.
See it, believe it, achieve it!
- Find a comfortable, quiet place like your room
- Close your eyes and imagine yourself achieving your goal
- Visualise the steps needed to get there
- Be detailed; note how it feels and how to overcome any challenges
- Stay focused but enjoy the process! Let yourself escape into your dream world where anything is possible and make it a reality!
Visualisation is a powerful tool to imagine success and boost your confidence in achieving a task. By picturing yourself in different situations, you can feel more motivated and prepared to tackle new challenges. Discover what works best for you and make it a part of your routine!
A study found that using visual images can boost your memory by focusing on details. When you practice visualising by picturing scenes while reading a book, it can make the story more engaging and enjoyable.1
Small changes CAN make a big difference – that’s what the 1% Kids’ Club is all about.
- Include visualisation in your child’s bedtime routine or study time by encouraging their imagination.
- Ask them to picture a goal they want to achieve and create vivid mental images together.
- Talk about what they imagined and how it made them feel. If they don’t enjoy this practice, that’s okay! There are other ways to help them focus and set goals. It’s about finding what works best for them.
