"Every day may not be good... but there's something good in every day"

Alice Morse Earle

 

Why read Huge bag of worries?

Use this story to explore a range of emotions. It is ok to feel worried sometimes. Talking about your worries or sharing them with someone can help you to feel better.

After reading the book you could try:

  • Draw a bag -  What worries would you put inside it? Draw the worries or write about them. Share your picture with someone and talk about it.

  • Make a worry monster - You can use any kind of recycling or junk materials. Decorate your monster and give it a name. Write down your worry or draw a picture of it. Feed your worry to your monster. The monster will eat it so that you can let it go.
