Trick Box outcomes are built around the personal habits that can help us all to take up positive life opportunities and thrive. Trick Box strategies empower children to build their personal strengths whilst managing the tricky bits in the here and now, building positive, personal habits for the future.
Trick Box is an evidence-based, whole school programme which helps to develop a full range of positive personal habits in 4 key areas:
Throughout their journey, children at EYFS2 and KS1-2 develop self-coaching skills and use tricks from their Trick Box to help them navigate through life.
Teachers use the tricks in class and parents are able to practise these with their children at home. Tricks can be taught in 10-15 mins during class time or in assemblies.
There’s a simple timetable for each year group which builds on the tricks from the previous year. The strength of the programme is in the daily practise of tricks in response to challenges arising in the here and now.
Watch the video to learn more about how the programme works.
“Trick Box is an inspirational programme. It involves children, families and school. It is easy for teachers to teach as it is so well planned. Children love it and use it every day.”
The Trick Box programme supports well being, by not only giving children strategies they can apply in and out of school but also by providing support for parents and carers that they can use in the home. It is this whole child approach that is so powerful.”

“With so much negative media about mental health, it is great that this positive and fun approach to encourage mental wellbeing is available for our children.”
