5 Day leadership courses
For 5 to 11 year olds, held at British International School Riyadh
Brilliant Me and My Feelings (For ages 5-7)
Ambitious 5-day courses that will equip children with tools to manage emotions, grow in confidence and develop language to talk about their feelings. Children will learn through challenges, storytelling, games, creatives arts and serious fun!
Connecting with how we feel
Brilliant Me & My Feelings is specifically designed to help your child:
Recognise and identify their big feelings and emotions
Understand that all feelings are valid
Manage frustration
Develop ways to self-regulate
Know how to deal with worries and nerves
Think about their impact on others and the feelings they have
Understanding that all feelings are valid
This course uses the power of storytelling and creative activities to help children learn to connect with and understand their feelings. 'Brilliant Billy the Bunny’ accompanies the children throughout the course to help them navigate their emotions in a fun and supportive environment.
What does the course focus on?
On each day, two stories are shared with the children based around the theme of recognising and responding to a range of different feelings. Each story is followed by a creative activity which helps the children link the learning from the story to their everyday lives. Daily mindfulness activities are included to help the children learn to manage and respond to their emotions.
The stories shared in the Brilliant Me & My Feelings course are based around the following themes:
Recognising a range of feelings
Responding to anger
Kindness and how we make others feel
Dealing with worries
Feeling all feelings – even the uncomfortable ones
An example story shared during the course is the wonderful ‘Ruby’s Worry’ by Tom Percival. This story is all about Ruby; she loves being Ruby, until one day she finds a worry. At first it’s not such a big worry, but then it starts to grow. It gets bigger and bigger every day and starts making Ruby sad. Ruby finds a way to respond to the worry and feel like herself again. The story is shared and discussed as a group, followed by an activity where the children then make either a tiny worry doll or a worry box, and learn that it’s good to talk about the things that worry us. The story and activities help the children understand that worries are normal and we all have them, learning how to recognise and manage them is the important part.

British International School Riyadh
Address: Al Hamra Campus, 2786 Ibrahim Mubarak Said Ad Dusari، 7693
We're pleased to offer this course at the British International School in Riyadh. BISR is an International co-educational school located in Saudi Arabia. These inspirational spaces are ideal for children getting into a new mindset as they develop critical life skills with our Role Models.
How does it work?
Our courses are available for children aged 5-7, 8-10 & 11-13. They typically run for either 3 or 5 consecutive days.
Getting to know your child
All our courses are run in small groups. This ensures our Role Model can get to know each child individually.
To help with this, before the course begins, we ask you to answer a few questions about your child and any specific needs they might have. We will also ask about food allergies, medical conditions and any additional needs that our Role Model needs to know about.
It will only take a minute or two, and it ensures our Role Model has all the information they need to ensure your child has the best experience possible.
Included with all our courses...
Each day the role model will email you a summary, describing what was covered so you can discuss it with your child. They may also include photos of your child taking part in the activities (if consent has been given).
At the end of the course you'll receive a set of top-tips on how you can support the development of life skills at home.
Your child will receive a branded official certificate to recognise completion of the course.
You'll also receive a written report from the Role Model working with your child, highlighting their strengths and areas for further development.
Finally, after the course has finished you'll receive follow up videos, that you can watch with your child. These aim to remind your child of the key course themes.
