Choose from the musical instruments, nature scenes, colors, and more! Time, nature, settings, instruments, and colors are also listed.

Glimmers, which are the opposite of triggers are those moments of pure joy and serenity that light up their lives. I use the materials to share and practice glimmers with my students & after just 3 days back the kids have already started using the term "glimmer" when something brings them joy!

The word Glimmers originates from Deb Dana, LCSW, psychotherapist, and author who coined the term. Glimmers which is the opposite of a trigger are those fleeting instances that bring us warmth and peace, offering a profound positive impact on our mental health. With gratitude & written permission from Deb Dana, I'm thrilled to share these activities with fellow educators!

Materials Included:

PowerPoint: Utilize the included PowerPoint slide show to introduce the concept of Glimmers to your students. With 40 slides featuring real-life pictures, students can begin to recognize things that bring them Glimmers. It also helps create connection and shared interests, with their classmates.

Worksheets:

8 student pages

• identify your glimmers (things that make me happy, included, helpful etc)

• I feel a glimmer when....

• track your glimmers

• Things I see, taste and hear that bring me glimmers

Bulletin Board: Colorful lettering (multiple styles) to make a bulletin board for your classroom or your school. Cards are included for students (& staff) to share the things that bring them glimmers

2 pages of "me and my Glimmer". Take a picture of your students happy with their glimmers & attach to the page. A great reminder of the things that bring us joy.

8x11 Posters: Sprinkle your class or school with five 8x11 posters. Whether it's in your classroom, hallway, or on your door, these posters serve as tangible reminders to celebrate life's Glimmers.

Exploration Beyond: Curious to learn more? Dive into the enlightening USA Today article on Glimmers and their mental health benefits: Link to USA Today Article. You can also explore more about Deb Dana and her insights on regulation at Deb Dana's Website.

Join us in extending a heartfelt thank you to Deb Dana for her gracious permission to incorporate her trademarked concept into these materials, inspiring a wave of positivity and well-being.
