The Worry Backpack is an interactive drama script and World Mental Health Day resource pack designed for pupils aged 7-10. Through gentle humour, audience participation, and relatable situations, the script helps children understand that everyone has worries, and that sharing them makes them feel lighter.

The accompanying workshop pack provides clear, age-appropriate activities that explore emotional wellbeing, empathy, teamwork, and problem-solving. It includes warm-up games, structured discussion tasks, role-play activities, and calm reflection moments, all carefully designed to support mental health conversations without requiring personal disclosure.

This resource is ideal for World Mental Health Day, PSHE lessons, wellbeing weeks, assemblies, or drama workshops, and includes safeguarding guidance to ensure a safe, supportive tone throughout.

Available in both PDF and Word formats.
