"This Is Me", a confidence-boosting instrument and singing activity!
It's easy to understand why this song from The Greatest Showman became so popular! If you haven't heard it yet, play an instrument along with us, listening carefully to the words.
Next, take a moment to think about words that describe YOU. Are you silly? Strong? Helpful? Brave? Curious? Sing your words in our new verses "I am______, I am _______, this is who I'm meant to be, THIS IS ME!"
Write or draw what makes you unique - remember it, say it, SING it with confidence!
