Hi, any activity that the child enjoys & you know they are able to do from your previous observations will raise their self esteem and confidence if they are praised for what they are doing and encouraged to try the next step. they gain confidence when they acheive something and that helps them to feel good about themselves and so raises their self esteem.
if you do an activity that celebrates a particular culture then the children in your care from that background will feel good about themselves and proud of their culture, this is fab for self esteem, especially if they are older and are able to discuss their experiences with the other children.
hope that helps
