Hi, I'm not overly familiar with the unit or tasks sorry but activities for confidence & self esteem are ones that the children feel involved in, to lead, join in, feel responsible for and have the freedom to develop or dismiss, alone or in partnership.
Promoting assertiveness is something that may involve personal or professional opinion, I feel it's an area that needs to be handled sensitively.
Assertiveness from the free dictionary
Confidence
Esteem
Broad or open ended activities eg: circle games, outdoor games/indoor open space ..and open ended resources - ball, bike, running, box of clothing, hide and find games, book, toy and resource selection and decision making in how to use them.

fruit stick..

Hide and find:
- Plastic candy canes in Santa's snow filled sleigh ..

Preparations for outdoor play - what, if any clothing and footwear to put on and the same for returning indoors ..
Jigsaw puzzles, threading items, cut n paste activities, dough play, feeding, cleaning, caring for an animal - great if you have home based childcare provision and the children/child can help with regular or a one off activity to feed fish, rabbit, guinea pig etc ..
Whichever activity you decide on look to see how it allows children to have a say, put forward their ideas and use the materials you have available, completely as they wish ..
