📚 Part 1: Hobbies and Hauora (Multiple Choice & Checklist)

WALT: We are learning to recognise how our hobbies support our hauora (wellbeing).

Success criteria: I can name my hobbies; I can pick which hauora dimension a hobby mainly supports; I can list hobbies I do regularly.

1. What is a hobby?

Something you do for fun or interest

A job you are paid for

A school subject

2. Which hobby helps your physical hauora the most?

Running, swimming or sports

Reading books

Painting or drawing

3. Tick all the hobbies you do regularly:

Playing sport or exercising

Playing music or singing

Drawing, painting or crafts

Gardening or cooking

Gaming or watching videos

4. Playing music mainly supports which hauora dimension?

Physical

Social and emotional

Financial

Differentiation: Offer picture choices or read questions aloud for learners who need support; allow short oral responses if writing is hard.

Extension: Ask a learner to research and share one community hobby club in the local centre that supports hauora.

Dyslexia-friendly reading options: Use clear spacing, read questions aloud, provide simplified sentence versions, and allow highlighter strips for tracking.

✏️ Part 2: Short Answers & Creative Reflection

WALT: We are learning to reflect on what makes us unique and how our hobbies shape our wellbeing.

Success criteria: I can explain how hobbies make me feel; I can name things that make me unique; I can show my hobby in a drawing and label feelings.

5. List two hobbies that help you feel calm and explain how each one helps (one sentence each):

6. Describe one hobby and explain how it helps you connect with other people (two or three sentences):

7. What makes you unique? Write three short things about yourself (skills, likes, values):

8. Draw yourself doing a favourite hobby. Label two feelings you get from that hobby (e.g. calm, excited, proud):

Differentiation: Provide sentence starters (e.g. "I feel calm when...") or allow verbal recording for students who prefer speaking. Use larger-lined boxes for learners needing more spacing.

Extension: Create a short plan to try a new hobby for two weeks; note what part of your hauora you hope it will improve and how you will track progress.

Dyslexia-friendly reading options: Offer printed question cards with images, one question per page, and allow extra time. Encourage use of coloured overlays if helpful.
