An All About Me activity enabling a child or young person to create a time capsule for their future self.
Time Capsule
Ask the child or young person to think of three items that they would like to put into a time capsule that represent their last six months – something they would like their future self to see.
Ask the child or young person to draw a time capsule on a piece of paper and ask them to draw the items they want to keep safe in the capsule. Ask them to label the items and explain why they have chosen the item and what they represent.
Alternatively, you could make a time capsule with the child or young person. Once it is made, ask the child or young person to write the names of three items that they would like to put inside the hand made time capsule, on pieces of paper.
Ask the child or young person to explain why they chose the item and what they represent before placing them inside.

The Creative Life Story Work website is designed to share ideas, tools and inspiration for practitioners. It’s important that practitioners take responsibility for making sure the life story work they deliver is safe, high quality and appropriate for the children and young people they support.
