Start Your Brand Journey

Most people hand you a label first. Athlete. Artist. Quiet kid. Funny one. Smart one.

That’s a starting point, not the whole brand.

1. Label yourself

If you already did the 15-minute workshop, skip this or go one layer deeper.

Write 2–4 words that come to mind right now. No perfect answers.

Labels are the cover. Your story is the book.

2. Write the script and set a simple plan

This is the best follow-on. Use Lesson 3 and Lesson 4 on the workshop page, then keep it small.

That’s the plan. You adjust it. Nobody else owns the script.

Core promise: Be kind to yourself and others. Add your values on top.

If you only have one class period

Do not start with drama. Start with the workshop.

• Period 1: /teen-superpower-brand/ — learn branding, then one sentence.
• Period 2+: this page — worksheet, 4-week plan, then a Get-Together if the class wants a room activity.

School ask for adults: /teen-superpower-for-schools/

Lead with this

School activity 1: Kindness Get-Together

Bring people together on purpose

Best everyday class activity. No performance. Works in advisory, English, or homeroom.

A Kindness Get-Together is a low-pressure gathering for real conversation. Casual. Optional. No performance required.

Hub page: /kindness-get-together/

School pairing form — one-on-one in the room

Pair each student with someone they do not normally hang out with. Stay in a supervised space. The point is to get to know the person better — not to force a friendship or collect a story.

Length: 8–12 minutes. Switch partners only if both want to.

Ground rules:

• Stay in the classroom, library, cafeteria, or another supervised place
• Opt out or sit with a teacher if pairing feels wrong
• No romance framing. No filming unless the teacher sets that up and both people agree
• Private details stay private. Sharing back with the class is optional

Starter prompts (pick 3):

• What is one label people give you that is incomplete?
• When do you feel most like yourself at school?
• What is one small kindness that actually landed for you?
• What do you want people to feel when you show up?
• What is one thing you are becoming — not the finished version?

Close: Thank the other person. One optional sentence to the group: “One thing I learned…” or keep it between the two of you.

Teacher note: pair with care. Do not force contact where safety or comfort is an issue. Distress → school supports.

Writing

School activity 2: History

The amazing people in this room

One-page framework

1. Past. 2–3 short chapters: Title / What happened / What it says about me. Include one moment of kindness received or given.

2. Present. Current labels + “I stand for…” Core promise: be kind to myself and others + my values.

3. Future. In one year I want to have… In five years I want people to feel ______ because of how I showed up. One change for my life. One change for someone else. Small is fine.

Class name ideas: “Living History of [Class Period]” or “Our Superpower Timeline.” Sharing is optional.

Optional group

School activity 3: Crew

Optional. Unofficial. Teen-led.

A Crew is 2–8 people — or one person. Friends, a team, a club, a group chat, or a short school pilot. It is not employment, not an official ambassador rank, and not a company program.

School shape

• 5–15 minutes in advisory, homeroom, or club
• Student-led when possible. Adult provides space and safety.
• Invite without pressure. Quiet still counts.
• One practice this week. Your words, or none.

One-week pilot

Day 1. Explain the idea. Locked line stays locked. Everything after it belongs to the crew.

Midweek. One tool or one kind act — thank someone, include someone, or notice someone.

End of week. Optional private statement or 60-second reflection. No required post.

Full playbook: /teen-superpower-crew/

Framework from adults. Message and script from the crew. No scoreboard.

10 minutes

School activity 4: Kindness Music

Try it with an open mind

Play one track. Then talk. Music is optional proof that kindness can change the feeling in a room.

Hub: /kindness-music-hub/

10-minute classroom version

• Play one kindness track (or a short clip)
• Write 2 lines in silence: How did it make me feel? Did it lift me up?
• Discuss in pairs or as a class — only if people want to talk
• Optional: pick one line from the song that matches your brand

Discuss

How does this song make you feel?

Does it lift you up, leave you flat, or do something else?

Would you share this with someone who needed a reset? Why or why not?

What would “kindness music” sound like if you wrote the next chapter?

No required performance. Listening counts. Sharing a playlist counts. Quiet still counts.

Second last

School activity 5: Drama / Theatre

I Have the Power to Be My Own Brand

Highest lift. Use it when the class already has a sentence and wants to perform it.

What the production can be

• Class collage: 1–2 minute monologues or scenes, one after another
• Small group pieces that connect into one show
• Solo piece — private or public
• For the class only, an assembly, or recorded for yourself

Basic production overview

Characters (pick 2–4): You now · You from two years ago · Future you · Inner critic vs. kind voice · One real person who helped you

3 beats: the old script → the turn (a kindness choice) → the new brand + one proof action

Length: 60–90 seconds per student. Full class piece: 15–25 minutes.

Staging: No set required. Optional chair, hoodie, thumbs-up, printed statement, or badge.

Teacher note: Student-written. The locked line can open or close the show. Everything after the line belongs to the teens.
