PSHE KS1 / KS2: Imagine – Future Thinkers with Rhys Stephenson

CBBC presenter Rhys Stephenson steps into a time machine, where children are encouraged to dream big and imagine themselves in a variety of exciting future job roles, from being an astronaut to becoming a deep sea diver as well as visualising their own future role!

Movements are used to represent the different areas of work and to express what pupils are excited about for their future selves.

This classroom activity helps pupils overcome potential fear of the future and instils excitement for all the opportunities to fulfil their potential as they grow up.

We can use our imagination as a powerful tool to help us see alternative possibilities.
